Starting out as a 3 piece guitar, banjo, and bass trio in 2014, this ragtag group of pickers quickly sparked interest and has since added the bright sounds of fiddle and dobro to the mix. Blending bluegrass, roots, folk, and original songwriting, Woodland Remedy puts out a sound that's fresh and original with a foot stomping feel. Soaring harmonies backed by wood-splintering picking, they have been busy blazing a trail through the Midwest music scene. With a debut album released and a second on the way in early 2017, Woodland Remedy is looking forward to an amazing future. The crew is from the woods and music is the remedy.

Admission ONLY $5
