On Saturday starting at 2:00 we welcome Chicken Wire Empire.
Contemporary tones blend with traditional roots in Milwaukee's unparalleled Chicken Wire Empire. Since their formation in 2012, the Chicken Wire Empire has wasted little time establishing themselves as one of the hottest up and coming bands in the local and regional music scene. Ryan Ogburn (mandolin), Jordan Kroeger (upright Bass), Seth Foerster (Guitar), and Jon Peik (banjo), put together "The Force" to deliver their bluegrass inspired song to audiences of any age.
Next up we have the great pleasure to bring back to the mid-Wisconsin area Piper Road Spring Band with Barry Riese-vocals & guitar, Bob Mason-vocals & mandolin,
William "Kangaroo" Knickrehm-washboard & vocals, Mark Hembree-bass & vocals, Randal Harrison-fiddle & vocals With early influences like Bill Monroe, Mississippi John Hurt, Doc Watson, Clyde Whitney, and the Grateful Dead, Piper Road offers a high energy, well paced show enjoyed by people of all ages.
We are very happy to have returning again this year Dead Horses. Folk/Americana music with band members,Sarah Vos - Vocals/Guitar,Peter Raboin - Guitar/Vocals,Daniel Wolff - Double Bass/Vocals. Dead Horses is a young acoustic band with a cultivated folk sensibility well beyond their years. Hailing from a small Wisconsin town made world famous by a pair of overalls, the Oshkosh, WI based troupe craft powerful coming of age narratives sung by the alluring golden-haired songstress Sarah Vos.
To round off our evening we have by popular demand the return of Art Stevenson and High Water. With Art Stevenson - guitar, harmonica, bass, vocals, Stephanie Stevenson - bass, guitar vocals, Dale Reichert - banjo, Dobro, vocals
and Bruce King - mandolin, vocals we have Wisconsin's most sought-after bluegrass show.
This is as good of a Wisconsin based line up as you could ask for.
During the Bash we have a silent auction and several raffles with funds raised used by The Manawa FFA Alumni to offer scholarships, grants and support for the Agricultural program inn the Manawa School District and the local FFA Chapter.
