fresh honky-tonk inspired bluegrass
Devine’s Jug Band opens
Door 7:30 P.M., Music 8:00 P.M. | Purchase advance tickets: $18.50

Nell Robinson & Red Level serve up an evening of fresh, honky-tonk-infused bluegrass and country music with some alt-folk, originals, and "just plain cool stuff" thrown in for good measure, creating a lively union of old-time spirits and contemporary sensibilities. Rollicking high energy, sweet three-part harmonies, and hot pickin' make this a very fun band to see and hear.

Backing Nell's rich, warm vocals are a group of musicians with impeccable bluegrass credentials, Red Level features Jacob Groopman (Lost Coast) on guitar, Brian Judd (who cut his teeth opening shows for Doc & Merle Watson some 30 years ago) on mandolin, Jonathan Schiele (Highway One, the David Thom Band) on banjo, and Dan Booth (49 Special, Homespun Rowdy) on bass.

Opening tonights show, Devine's Jug Band sports All-stars Meredith Axelrod (Craig Ventresco & Meredith Axelrod) on guitar, kazoo, and vocals, Mayumi Urgino (Five Dollar Suit, Toshio Hirano) on fiddle and vocals, and Pete Devine on the jug, washboard, kazoo, Cheek-O-Phone and vocals—sometimes all at once!
