The Howlin’ Brothers and, The Lean and The Plenty (openers)

The Howlin’ Brothers are a Nashville based string band composed of Ian Craft, Dan Swan and Jared Green. Anchored in a bed of old-time blues and bluegrass, their upbeat shows are heavy with original and traditional music, featuring the sounds of slide banjo, harmonica and old-time fiddle. Sounding like what would happen if a bunch of Appalachian punk rockers formed a jug-band, The Howlin’ Brothers play with a ferocious energy that drags you in and finds you boogieing along in spite of yourself.

The Lean and The Plenty welcome you into their world of sweet, sweet darkness where the song is king. With a strong focus on songwriting, they mix old-time melodies, clandestine subject matter, classic bluegrass vibes and biting arrangements to bring you something uniquely their own. It’s American music aimed straight toward your heart.
