Buffalo Gospel w/ Johanna Rose

Johanna Rose opens for Buffalo Gospel

At the heart of great music is a story, and for that matter, a storyteller. The story of Ryan Necci & The Buffalo Gospel begins with Ryan’s introduction to music through his father’s record collection. Country music mixed with John Prine and Townes Van Zandt was the soundtrack to his growing up in a small, lower middle class farm town in Wisconsin. The songs of love and loss and unfulfilled dreams seeped into him as a child and later as a songwriter, helping form his distinct Country/Americana style.

Nick Gamer & The Midnight Angels

Oregon’s Nick Gamer writes dark, cinematic Americana songs that sound equally at home in the western cosmos of Lucinda Williams and The Byrd’s Sweetheart of the Rodeo. A former guitarist for Japanese Breakfast and frontman of Le Rev, Gamer has traded indie pop hooks for the high lonesome wail of the pedal steel. His songs are a paean to the ashes of youth and the grim smile of moving on, conjuring the times feelings of isolation and dark nostalgic yearning without ever addressing the headlines directly. Gamer is currently touring his debut solo album, Suburban Cowboy, where honky tonks, midnight angels, truck stops and bourbon loom large. It’s the kind of nod to Gram and Emmylou you wished you heard more of while digging its heels firmly in the present.

Alison Self

Alison plays honky tonk on the guitar and currently lives in Portland OR after a two year stint in Austin, after a 10 year stint in VA. With a peppering of Denver and Nashville somewhere in there.....

The Big Howdy

It's been awhile folks, so a big hey, hi, howdy is in order! We're back at it with what was once Living Room MKE but is now Highway Kind - same place and good tunes.

The Big Howdy lineup features music from:

Hurd & Galante, sentient balladeers with tales of wayward dealings and wandering dreams, with far to go and forever to get there

Johanna Rose, a road worn multi-instrumentalist of stand-up bass, guitar and mystic soul.

The Sapsuckers writers and performers of original country/Americana songs that blend humor, heartache, and honky-tonk.With an eclectic style that ranges from hillbilly roots to Nashville pop, the songwriting team of Nikki Grossman and Joe Hart has developed a lively, contemporary take on country music.

Doors at 5PM and show at 6PM.
Bring yer liquid friends and tell yer pals, and don't forget your doll hairs to support our artists!

See you there pards : )
