Alewives // Nick Elstad Trio // Simon Cropp & His Allstar Band

Alewives

Alewives is a country-rock band known to jangle, choogle, twang, drone, and maybe even jam. Born out of stewardship for rock n’ roll, the (mostly) Wisconsin-based projects draws from numerous classic forms like heartland rock, power-pop, garage, roots rock, art punk, country, and more. An equal dose of tongue-in-cheek and heart-on-sleeve, Alewives wavers between descants of self doubt and wry tales of frustration at the self-serve laundry.

Nick Elstad Trio

Simon Cropp & His Allstar Band

Simon Cropp is a flatpick guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, and country and bluegrass songwriter. His performance is equal parts dive bar bravado and fireside introspection. 

Simon’s songwriting style is plainspoken storytelling, channeling classic country themes of love, heartbreak, and the landscapes he travels through. Both as a solo act and with his band Slapdash Bluegrass, Simon has shared stage with songwriting inspirations in The Last Revel, Possessed by Paul James, Margo Cilker, Clay Street Unit, and Joseph Huber. 

Simon logs thousands of miles as a touring multi-instrumentalist, equally comfortable on pedal steel guitar, electric guitar, and bass. With a dreadnought guitar in hand, Simon’s flatpicking style blends country-inspired crosspicking with melodic sensibility to produce a sound that is as comfortable on a front porch as it is on a festival stage.
