Max & the Fellow Travelers EP Release w/ Old Pup, & Dandy Freling
Max & the Fellow Travelers EP Release w/ Old Pup, & Dandy Freling / Doors at 7pm, Music at 8pm, $10
Armed with little but a 6-string, a harp rack and a stack of songs that harken back to the wrought folk rock of yesteryear, Max Niemann packs a punch that is as heartfelt as it is biting. Roaming a sonic trail blazed by country punks and folk poets immemorial, pre-Dylan on up through Tweedy, Niemann follows in the footsteps of the American troubadour lineage, propelling it into the present with songs that are as likely to strike a chord with the modern metropolitan as they are the lonesome wanderer. With his ever-evolving band of Fellow Travelers at his side, the group provides rustic backdrops for the hard-nosed, intimate stories of human joy, suffering and striving that occupy Niemann’s songs.
Old Pup is a psych-folk band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, led by multi-instrumentalist Will Hansen. The band is known for its unique blend of psych, folk, and country music. Hansen’s sepia-toned vocals and the band’s experimental sound have garnered a local following1.
Old Pup’s music often features a mix of traditional and unconventional instruments, creating a distinctive soundscape. Their latest work includes the EP “Lion,” which showcases their conceptual and experimental approach2. The band has also collaborated with various Milwaukee musicians, adding depth and variety to their music.
Dandy Freling: A highway-kind traveler combining a touch of the high and lonesome hollers of the Appalachian hill people with the low-down, dusty grooves of the cosmic cowboys, Dandy has created a unique sonic banquet sure to satisfy the hunger of any weary passerby. A boot stompin’ finger picker with remnant hollers of the greats of our past – Don’t be afraid to stop awhile, and fill up your plate, there’s plenty to go around.
