Front Country / The Bonesteelers

$5 advance / $7 at the door

Front Country
Formed in 2011 as a collective of the Bay Area's finest young acoustic talent, Adam Roszkiewicz, Jacob Groopman, Jordan Klein, Leif Karlstrom, Melody Walker and Zach Sharpe joined forces to play a monthly gig with friends in San Francisco's Mission District. They quickly found a musical rapport that was open to challenging arrangements, unique covers and original songwriting. Since then they have continued to expand their repertoire and push the boundaries of bluegrass on the national scene. In 2012 they won the Rockygrass band competition in Colorado and followed up in 2013 with a win at Telluride becoming the third band in history to win both contests. Front Country blend everything from high-lonesome mountain music to new-wave power pop, newgrass picking, oldgrass harmonies, and just plain glorious musicality. This is Americana at its best: music with deep roots and wide-ranging vision.

The Bone Steelers
The Bonesteelers are a Chicago-based Bluegrass trio featuring the banjo picking of Cassie Thiem, the flat picking of Will Barney, and the percussive chop of Alex Greenberg. Since 2012, the Bonesteelers have gravitated towards the sound of classic fiddle tunes, mid-century bluegrass, and seldom heard bluegrass gems that keep your foot tapping, and a smile on your face.
