Evergreen Grass Band 

Eau Claire, WI

This weekend we're eagerly anticipating the return of a band that first played the Rookery two years ago. They were a huge hit and we've been trying to get them back ever since. In fact, we actually had a tentative date set last summer but the band had to cancel when one of its members up and decided to get married that particular weekend. What, he couldn't get hitched on Saturday and still perform at the Rookery on Sunday?

In any case, we forgive 'em and are thrilled to welcome Evergreen Grass Band back to our outdoor stage this Sunday! Normally I prefer to custom tailor the description of a band's musical genre using a combination of my own words and the band's official press bio. But in this case I think the latter stands on its own:  

"Deep in the Northwoods of Wisconsin a group of pissed off bluegrass pickers decided they wanted to change bluegrass for all mankind. They failed to do so. Now, they just continue their barnstorm of the Mid-West in hopes of one day playing a song so fast, that it actually disrupts the space-time-continuum.

"The EverGreen Grass Band was formed in 2008 over the course of many beer & whiskey fueled nights hosting the open mic at the Mousetrap Tavern in Eau Claire, WI. The 4-piece, including guitar, bass, banjo, & mandolin have been playing their distinctive and aggressive blend of bluegrass, punk, rock n' roll, jam & country with various members consistently around the Midwest for 6 years.

"Bringing an energetic and original act to any place they play, the EverGreen Grass Band has been winning ears and hearts alike with their straight-forward, face-melting ungrass songs, toe-tappin country tunes and original grass arrangements of covers in any genre. Always creating a good-time, drink 'em down atmosphere, the EverGreen Grass Band bring with them a genre-defying sound, a dedication to their live shows and an earnest understanding of what entertainment really is."

Bottom line? You're gonna love these guys! 

Evergreen Grass Band. This Sunday. Live. Outdoors. Only at the Rookery!
