The Lineup:
Green River Revue - Friday, October 10th at 7 pm
Formed in 2021, Green River Revue is a Bluegrass and roots music band featuring the raw talent and energy of five world-class musicians: banjo player Kelsey Crews, fiddle player David Mansfield III, guitarist James Seliga, mandolinist David Freeman, and Bassist Landy Ewing. All of them bring years of experience and dedicated skill to the collective, forging their own unique path in the industry.
Wood Box Heroes - Friday, October 11th at 8pm
Wood Box Heroes, the American acoustic super-group, is hardly anything like the bluegrass music you used to find in the cassette player of your grandad’s old chevy pickup truck. Deeply rooted in tradition while melding together an eclectic-array of sounds from the country, bluegrass, blues, jazz, rock, and classical varieties, paired with crafty and authentic songwriting, the band delivers a piercing listening experience that plunges deep into the caverns of the soul.
Two Runner - Saturday, October 11th at 1:30 pm
Two Runner is songwriter Paige Anderson and fiddler Emilie Rose from the hills of Northern California. The folk duo emits a ray of unprocessed realness through their well-crafted songs and instrumental skills. Both growing up in a rural mountain town, best friends Paige Anderson and Emilie Rose learned folk music and performance from a young age, and now tour nationally as Two Runner. Through the mediums of clawhammer banjo, vocal harmonies, oldtime fiddle, and flatpicking guitar, Two Runner has a sound that is strongly rooted in American folk music combined with Paige’s wistful songwriting. Two Runner self-released their debut album, Modern Cowboy, in the spring of 2023 and have shared the stage with Sierra Ferrell, Watchhouse, Jesse Daniel, Nick Shoulders, Charlie Parr and many more.
RiverBend - Saturday, October 12th at 3:30 pm
RiverBend is a 5-piece Traditional Bluegrass band from the St Louis area. With soaring tenor harmonies, driving instrumentation, and the classic bluegrass sound, this group is dedicated to the performance and preservation of the "High-Lonesome Sound.” A mix of classic covers and originals that stay true to authentic instrumentation, RiverBend’s style is perfect for those seeking an experience that harkens back to the founders of the genre. RiverBend is represented by EMG Records and have released 2 albums, with a 3rd slated for Fall 2024.
The Special Consensus - Saturday, October 12th at 5:45 pm
The Special Consensus is a bluegrass band that has achieved a contemporary sound in their four decades of performing, making their music a modern classic.
