Our Winter Bluegrass Series concludes on Saturday, March 1, with a performance by the Rusken Bros. bluegrass band from 6pm to 9pm.

ABOUT THE BAND:
With its deep roots in country, blues and bluegrass, “Americana” reflects the authentic voices and music of our country. The acoustic trio of Russ Adkins (guitar, mandolin, slide & vocals), Ken Slauf (guitar, harmonica & vocals) and Tim Marin (upright bass, vocals) approach this music with deft picking and soaring 3-part harmonies.

The Rusken Bros. delve into this rich musical history with an eclectic repertoire that spans nearly 100 years of American music. From the early jug band tunes of Gus Cannon, the country blues of Big Bill Broonzy, Taj Mahal and Keb Mo’, the bluegrass of Doc Watson, Jerry Garcia & David Grisman, to new arrangements from contemporary composers like Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Jayhawks, Tom Petty and The Grateful Dead, the Rusken Bros. take you on a musical adventure that makes for a fun, entertaining evening.

Our Winter Bluegrass Series continues at 6pm on Saturday, February 22, as we welcome the Fox Crossing Stringband back to our St. Charles brewery!

Our Winter Bluegrass Series rolls on with the Miles Over Mountains Duo on Saturday, February 15th at 6pm!

ABOUT THE BAND:
Hailing from McHenry, Illinois, a small town on the outskirts of Chicago, Miles Over Mountains is a familial unit of like minded midwestern musicians. For the past 10 years, the group has been forging their own progressive acoustic sound, rooted in bluegrass, but shaped around original songs, reinterpretations of their favorite writers, and layered instrumental prowess. Known best for their live show energy and deep connection with their audience, the band brings that rare combination of music you can’t help but dance to, and emotive ballads that will have you suddenly questioning the meaning of life. “Our live offerings are meant to drive the vehicle in a sense, gas the tank as it were. But the intent is for that dynamic to shift in the same way as one's inner thoughts and emotions; Ups and downs, failures and successes, desire and fulfillment, darkness and light,” says mandolinist and founding member Sean Shiel.
