Lash LaRue is a Park City band that infuses a wonderful mixture of driving original tunes with old country blues, rock n’ roll and  good o’l Americana. Coming together in 2009 the group combines a mixture of Park City favorites including Cole Hobbs on lead guitar, vocals and harmonica,  Karri Dell Hays on fiddle, vocals and clawhammer banjo, Elaine Minahan on lead vocals and washboard, Jack Walzer on guitar and vocals and Mark Viar on the dog house bass.  

"Working in Shifts" was born in informal jam sessions in living rooms, on patios and around campfires covering Dylan, The Dead and The Stones with an acoustic guitar, a banjo and a lead singer who has consumed bucketfuls of gravel, both vocally and metaphorically in life. On a ski weekend in Grand Targhee, Wyoming, they met a slap-happy stand-up bass player who morphed them into a rockabilly machine that takes folk, Americana, rock, country and their own originals, and turns them all into something that feels like Ogden, Utah...the place that Al Capone once said was a bit too wild for his taste.
