Description

The Roe Family Singers are a Good-Time, Old-Time Hillbilly band from the tiny community of Kirkwood Hollow, MN. Led by wife & husband Kim Roe (Best Female Vocalist, City Pages/Village Voice) and Quillan Roe (Accident Clearinghouse), the band marries old-time sounds from barn-dances, fiddle pulls, and county fairs with the rock & roll passion of youth.

Featuring banjo, autoharp, guitar, and Appalachian clogging, the band and family of fans have been regularly filling Minneapolis’ 331 Club every Monday night since 2005. They've shared the stage with Doc Watson, Ralph Stanley, Mike Seeger, Del McCoury, the Grascals, and Jim Kweskin & Geoff Muldaur. In 2011 the band was awarded the prestigious McKnight Fellowship for Performing Musicians; they won the title of “World's Best Jug Band” twice, in 2010 & 2012 at the annual Battle of the Jug Bands; and, in 2012, won the Minnesota Duet Contest at the MN State Fair.

The Roe Family Singers mix original music and contemporary takes on old-time, traditional, and gospel tunes into one roiling & rollicking river of fresh yet familiar American music. Every performance raises a ruckus.

Black River Revue

Banjo, mandolin, guitar and a big northern acoustic sound mark the “freshwater bluegrass” of Black River Revue. The group has released three full-length albums, toured the nation and claimed space on independent music charts since forming nearly 10 years ago. Currently a four-piece, led by singer-songwriter Adam Stariha and featuring Tim Leutgeb, Ian Kvale and Nate Hynum, Black River Revue delivers tight, insightful, original string songs and takes an occasional side trip over an unexpected cover. It’s rocking, rollicking, all-Americana music that holds up like a run of rapids through a tight bend below the falls.
