SUPERMULE (San Francisco)
This super group of superbly (or is that super fly?) talented musicians play a bluegrass meets funk inflected mix…with catchy originals and great covers from artists as diverse as Bill Withers and Bill Monroe. The San Francisco Chronicle calls them “much more than a great bluegrass outfit” and the California Bluegrass Association (CBA) praises their “tasty blend of fresh, rootsy ingredients. Liberal amounts of jazz, bluegrass, classical, and rock are used in varying proportions.” Their debut album, Northern White Clouds, has a “groovy country sound,” according to the East Bay Express. With traditional roots and revolutionary zeal, Supermule makes music that keeps on kicking!

HENHOUSE PROWLERS (Chicago)
*Tonight’s show marks the return of Chicago’s award winning bluegrass band to San Francisco!*
Their sound is new traditional, noting that much of their material is original, yet it touches on classic bluegrass themes such as love, loss, work, regret and death. The Prowlers’ fresh, descriptive songs have been featured in the PBS series "The Ride of Our Lives," and have won them the 2010 RockyGrass Bluegrass Festival Band Competition and finalists at the 2010 Telluride Bluegrass Band Competition.

IMMIGRANT UNION (Melbourne Australia)
*featuring Brent DeBoer, drummer from The Dandy Warhols*
Immigrant Union’s sound is a lush hybrid of folk and country, mixed with dream pop and psychedelic undertones. It’s like Spiritualized being baptized in a river of Creedence Clearwater. Their music is classic story telling with songs reminiscent of Neil Young and Bob Dylan.
