About the Band - From the Lincoln Leader last JanuaryMoon Mountain String Band brings Oregon Newgrass to LCCC
2026-01-06 Lincoln City
The
 Lincoln City Cultural Center (LCCC) was excited to welcome one of 
Oregon’s rising acoustic ensembles, the Moon Mountain String Band, for a
 lively night of bluegrass and newgrass ..........
The
 seven-member band, based in Eugene, is known for its dynamic stage 
presence, tightly woven harmonies, and a mix of traditional fiddle 
tunes, bluegrass standards, and contemporary originals.

Formed
 in 2022, Moon Mountain String Band has quickly built a strong regional 
following, performing at beloved Pacific Northwest venues including the 
Oregon Country Fair, Sam Bond’s Garage, the White Eagle, the Jazz 
Station, and multiple Oregon festivals. Their energetic approach to 
roots music has earned praise for getting audiences dancing, smiling, 
and engaged.
In 2025 the band released its second album, 
“Valsetz”, now streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, and other platforms. 
The album, titled after the deserted Boise-Cascade logging town, 
includes original songs written about Oregon’s checkered past and unique
 ecology, mixed with a healthy dose of high lonesome bluegrass tunes, 
and more contemporary folk songs.
Band Members and Instruments
Slug Kaltenbach— rhythm guitar, vocals
Shane Connor— lead guitar, vocals
Sarah Wilfong— fiddle, vocals
Albert Yang— mandolin, vocals
Dave Deblaker— standup bass
Dylan Plummer— banjo
Zachary Wallmark— dobro
“This
 is my first time inviting a band to the Cultural Center, and I’m 
thrilled that it’s Moon Mountain String Band,” Lincoln City Cultural 
Center Executive Director Serena Dressel said. “Their energy, 
musicianship, and sense of fun feel like a perfect match for our 
community, and I’m really looking forward to experiencing their music 
live alongside our audience.”
