∆Dance Alert - All seating will be removed from the tent
A jam band with a unique style and presence, the Big Wu
combines strong, free flowing improvisation and vocal
harmonies, with finely crafted songs for all tastes. The story
goes that “the Wu”, bound for rock stardom, sold their souls for
a case of Old Style beer one thirsty night long ago. The legend
and the band live on. Still rocking their powerful, moving,
and energizing original music for the fans, we’re pleased to
welcome them back for their 2nd appearance at the tent..
Black River Revue plays freshwater bluegrass from the twin
ports of Duluth, MN and Superior, WI. BRR has crafted their
own sound made up of mostly original music which can
be heard on their debut album Garbage Pickin’ (2013). Their
sophomore album Spring Thaw was released in 2014; their
latest release will be revealed at this performance!
