Muskie Bucket String Band Pickin’ Party will raise funds for the Humane Society of
the Ohio Valley (HSOV), February 27, 2026, 7:30 p.m., at The Lafayette Hotel, Marietta, Ohio

The Humane Society of the Ohio Valley (HSOV) presents the Muskie Bucket String Band, with friends Moon Mullen & Westyn Bennington, Friday, February 27th, 2026 at 7:30 PM at the Lafayette Hotel. All proceeds benefit the HSOV. Admission is a suggested donation of $10.00/person or a large bag of Purina Dog or Cat Chow. Tickets will be on sale at the door.

The Muskie Bucket String Band reaches deep into the hollows of traditional old-time music. Their sound draws from the well of fiddle tunes and ballads that have been passed down through the generations of Scots-Irish and African communities who settled Appalachia. To those familiar with the Mid-Ohio Valley’s music scene, some may recognize the Muskie Buckets as one-half of the valley’s own Oyo, featuring Aaron Martin’s virtuosic melodies on the fiddle and mandolin, Bobby Rosenstock’s rolling and flowing clawhammer banjo, and Drew Tanner providing the rumbling backbone of the Muskie Bucket sound on bass. The Muskie Bucket String Band’s stripped-down yet driving sound is equally at home on a front porch full of friends as it is in a packed pub where bottles are clinking and feet are dancing. https://www.facebook.com/muskiebucket

Moon Mullen and Westyn Bennington will be joining in the fun and picking some original tunes from the old Moon & the Shiners Band…who knows, maybe a square dance will break out!
All proceeds will benefit the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley.
