Two of the top roots acts from the heartland come together for a killer night of string music with a jam band vibe!
Haymakers takes the concept of the string band and plugs it into a broad swath of acoustic music that stretches from Americana to bluegrass, from Appalachian folk music to bluesy western swing, and even into the realm of the jam band. They lock into an array of grooves that go in and outside the box of traditional acoustic music. The Wichita, Kansas-based group formed in 2012, since then they have developed a reputation for lively performances that blend a wide variety of original and traditional songs performed in their own unique style.
Pretend Friend is a nationally touring progressive bluegrass and folk-rock band based in Wichita, Kansas. Known for combining musical elements from a variety of genres, Pretend Friend melds raw energy and soulful expression into timeless original songs “that seem to have always been.” Pretend Friend grew from the combined inspiration of rock and roll, Kansas bluegrass culture, and the campground jamming tradition of the Walnut Valley Festival. Their music is a fusion of styles, showcasing intricate musicianship and delivered through electrifying performances comparable to any rock show.
Tickets only $20 at the door and online!
