We’re excited to welcome The North & South Dakotas for their Wayward Lane debut and their first set on the Summer Stage! This Upstate-based five-piece blends quick-pickin’ bluegrass, rich vocal harmonies, and heartfelt folk ballads into a sound that’s all their own.

Led by Zack Hay on vocals and acoustic guitar, the band features Mark Retajczyk (electric guitar), Nayt Patenaude (dobro & mandolin), Colin Hunt (bass), and Connor Dunn (saxophone). They’ve shared stages with Sam Bush, Trampled By Turtles, The Travelin’ McCourys, and more—now it’s our turn. Come kick off the summer with a sound that’s rootsy, rowdy, and ready to roll.
