Carrie Nation & the Speakeasy at J Rod’s Rock Shop

Carrie Nation & the Speakeasy is a high energy, acoustic brass n grass 5-piece from Wichita, KS. The band, whose sound has been described as “…a stagecoach in overdrive”, has brought their eclectic blend of punk, bluegrass, and dixieland to packed bars, basements, and festivals across the US since their inception in the spring of 2007.

With a lineup of great musicians, the band’s live show is never the same twice. Brothers Jarrod and Zachary Starling provide acoustic guitar and drums/washboard, along with Mark Landry (Cletus Got Shot) on standup bass to round out the rhythm section. Garrett Briggeman (The Dewayn Brothers, The Deedles) adds 5-string and tenor banjo to the mix, while Reverend Aaron Morris (The Band That Saved The World, Fuzz Nasty, SUNU, Bastard Squad, Blackout Drunks) adds a taste of New Orleans on the trumpet. Tyler Grubb holds down double solo duties, playing both mandolin and trombone. This blend of influences and musicality ensure a unique and interesting show each night. $10 BYOB
