Formed in 2023, Theoretical Blonde is a 5-piece bluegrass-adjacent band from Salt Lake City with a sound that feels both familiar and refreshingly unexpected. Its members include Peter Cain (mandolin, vocals), Ford Huntington (Guitar, vocals), Grayson Wickel (Fiddle, Banjo, vocals), Patrick McNally (Bass, vocals), and Daniel McNally (Keys). Despite the name, none of the band members are actually blonde, which seems to be a fun little misdirect. What is true is that their music takes cues from bluegrass, jazz, americana, country, jam band, and singer-songwriter traditions, blending these styles into a dynamic and energetic mix. With the addition of keys and electric bass, they expand the traditional bluegrass palette, creating a fuller sound that’s as comfortable with intricate picking as it is with laid-back, groove-driven jams. The group doesn’t try to be tied to one sound or genre; instead, they focus on making music that’s genuine, without worrying about where it fits in the larger landscape.
At the heart of Theoretical Blonde is a group of best friends who’ve forged a deep connection both on stage and off. It’s this camaraderie that brings something special to the music. The moments of unspoken telepathy during their live shows—the way they anticipate each other’s next move—create an energy that’s impossible to fake. The band’s vibe is one of effortless collaboration, where the chemistry between the members elevates everything they play, making even the most complex arrangements feel natural and unforced.
Come out to hear Theoretical Blonde on January 16th for their EP Release Show, with support from 1006! This band has already taken the SLC scene by storm, and you will not want to miss their premier show at the State Room!
Show in partnership with Trash Moon Collective. EP Released under Hot House West 501(c)(3) record label, Westmoon Records.
