.357 String Band, The Big-City Honky Tonk, and 6 Day Bender at Turner Hall Ballroom
Milwaukee’s self-described “streetgrass” combo .357 String Band shreds like Megadeth covering Flatt & Scruggs, offering a potent and incredibly fun reminder that blistering bluegrass pickers were the original headbangers. Along with just being a blast, . 357 String Band’s amped-up, punk-rock take on bluegrass is doing its part to keep American roots music from being overly NPR-ized, emphasizing the rough edges and inherent wildness of classic sounds created by rough, inherently wild people. This Turner Hall gig will celebrate the release of the band’s new album Lightning From The North, the follow-up to 2008’s great Fire & Hail.
