SUMMARY:Them Coulee Boys
DESCRIPTION:Boy oh boy does the Ore Dock Brewing Co. have a treat for you – Them Coulee Boys live on stage! Them Coulee Boys craft a brand of Americana that blends folk\, punk\, bluegrass\, and rock & roll. They sing their conversational songs in 4 part harmony\, often with a banjo stomp and rhythm section punch that drives the audience onto the dance floor and into community. Their trusty van has propelled them thousands of miles across the country and into the hearts of strangers\, who tend to leave each show as family. It’s music that creates community through the shared experience of joy and giving a shit.\nhttps://www.themcouleeboys.com/\n\nSpecial opening performance from former Marquette denizen Matthew R. Sayles\, who now resides in Eau Claire\, WI. (same as Them Coulee Boys!) Sayles has toured nationally and internationally\, and has had the honor of performing with country\, bluegrass\, and western swing legends like Merle Haggard\, Dwight Yoakam\, Asleep at the Wheel\, Larry Sparks\, Doyle Lawson\, the Duhks\, Uncle Earl\, Hot Club of Cowtown\, members of Bob Dylan’s “Rolling Thunder Review” and a long list of other highly talented regional and national roots music performers. https://www.philvillerecords.com/matthew-r-sayles-press-kit
