Announcing the Lineup for Bluegrass at the Village 2023! (Picture attached is the Stillhouse Junkies.)
Bluegrass at the Village will be happening Sunday, August 13th at Ozaukee County Pioneer Village in Saukville, and showcases several local bands and a national traveling band who take the stage on the platform of the newly restored Cedarburg Train Station.
This year, the Ozaukee County Historical Society is excited to bring several new bands to the lineup this year. The Piper Road String Band is doing a 50th Anniversary Tour and will be starting us off. They have been a festival favorite for decades and are masters of the bluegrass tradition. Stillhouse Junkies from Durango Colorado will be this year’s featured band. All three band members trade lead vocals, songwriting, and arranging duties. Stillhouse Junkies “paint with a rich tonal palette that pays homage to their musical heroes while forging a unique artistic path.” Their songs run the gamut of human emotion, experience and their disenchantment with the pace of modern living, The Stillhouse Junkies blend genres of blues, bluegrass and swing to provide a sound uniquely of their own. Always popular and back by demand, Pickin’ Up Speed will perform their favorite traditional tunes. Fox Crossing String Band from Chicago will take the stage next. This all-female group is known for their beautiful harmonies and entertaining stage presence. Their debut album, “Box of Memories”, blends original songwriter tracks with popular cover hits in a bluegrass style. All the bands form a nice variety of energy and sounds.
As usual, the event includes a wide variety of food, desserts and beverages including a craft beers and wines. Our village of 24 historic buildings dating back to the mid-1800s will be open for touring. We also will be holding a fundraising raffle of items provided by local area businesses. Admission $12 Adults & $10 Seniors/Students in advance (online at https://www.ochs.co.ozaukee.wi.us/eventsfor2023) or $15 at the gate.
