FogHouse Presents - Phoebe Hunt & Dominick Leslie

Fans of the FogHouse and Hardly Strictly will be please to know that long time alumni (2015!) Phoebe Hunt & Dominick Leslie will be returning to play both!!

We met these star struck musicians over 10 years ago and that star continues to shine bright. This time they will be visiting us as parents to little Vassar (destined to be a fiddler no doubt).

For fans of HSB you’ll have an opportunity to see them playing with the Sam Grismon Project. But for the ultimate experience join us before the festival for an intimate evening in the best setting of all, my living room!

Phoebe Hunt & Dominick Leslie are a rare conversation between voice, fiddle, and mandolin—equal parts songcraft, improvisation, and heart. Hunt is a Texas-raised, Nashville-based artist whose 2017 LP Shanti’s Shadow drew praise from Rolling Stone and the Austin Chronicle for its adventurous blend of roots and global colors; her 2023 album Nothing Else Matters distills that vision to voice and violin alone.

Leslie, a dazzling picker known best for his work with Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, is a two-time Best Bluegrass Album Grammy band member and one of his generation’s standout mandolin voices; he first turned heads winning the RockyGrass Mandolin Contest at 14, the event’s youngest champion.

As a duo, they’ve appeared at the Austin Music Awards in a “borderless love” segment and on major festival lineups including Telluride Bluegrass—bringing songs that breathe, burn, and bloom in real time. Expect sparkling interplay, vivid lyrics, and the kind of chemistry that only miles, craft, and devotion can forge.
