Joe Stamm Band w/ Dave Shepherd

Doors 7PM | Show 8PM21+$20 ADV | $25 DOS Joe Stamm has a way of making seemingly minor moments feel as expansive and full as the Illinois River that runs through his central Illinois homeland. As Joe continues building a life in that same river valley, new stories continue revealing themselves to him. In the sound of the crickets on a summer night. In the smell of bonfire smoke on a mild winter day. In the taste of a cold garage beer.After more than a decade of writing, performing, and touring, Stamm has honed his storytelling ability to such fine detail, youd think he was there when you were getting up to no good in your hometown. Or at your dinner table when you got the bad news. Or on your porch when you got the good news. His salt-of-the-earth writing style, coupled with a voice that urges you to feel deeplywell, thats what honest music is all about.Dave ShepherdA PA guy through and through, Dave Shepherd is a country and bluegrass songwriter and musician from the rust belt of southwest Pennsylvania. After a decade living in Philadelphia touring the east coast, mid-atlantic, and southeast with various bluegrass, country, and jazz groups, Dave has resettled back home in the Golden Triangle, the Paris of Appalachia Pittsburgh PA. You can hear the rust in his songs. Not plain alt-country Dave has credentials in real deal country and bluegrass scenes but Rust Country, classic songs with a grungy edge built on the rusty frame of that good old country, bluegrass and western swing. Original music that feels like home and the skills to get a room two-stepping all night long, Dave puts on a raw and well oiled musical show in any formation solo acoustic, trio, bluegrass ensemble, to a full country outfit with fiddle and steel.
