Morsel & Armchair Boogie (Patio) w/ Ghost Town DriftersDoors 6 PM/Show 6:45 PM
Starting in 2015 from a front porch in the college town of Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Armchair Boogie can be defined by their pickin’ skills and infectious grooves. Augie Dougherty (banjo, vocals) and Ben Majeska (guitar, vocals) began playing under the name before becoming complete with the addition of Eli Frieders (bass) and solidification of Denzel Connor (drums) as the driving rhythm section behind a bluegrass, up-tempo, jammin-funkgrass outfit.
In the spring of 2018 Armchair Boogie moved to Madison, WI and released their first album. During this time they began touring around Wisconsin, the Midwest, and across America. Their journeys on the road have led them to stages such as Blue Ox, Northwest String Summit, John Hartford Memorial Festival, Summer Camp, and Live on King Street. They’ve had the honor to share the stage with The Infamous Stringdusters, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades, The Dead South, Kitchen Dwellers, Pert Near Sandstone, Trout Steak Revival, and have jammed with many more.
With the help of a loving and dedicated following, the group was able to successfully crowdfund their album, “What Does Time Care?", which was released on October 11, 2019.
When a guitarist and a drummer are assigned dorm rooms across the hall from each other at the University of Colorado (CU), it could be considered serendipity, and in 2013, that’s exactly what happened with Scottie Bollin and Adam Haimbaugh. The duo then met fellow freshman Jack Kotarba and the three entered a casual “jamship.” From playing college parties in 2013 to the formation of Morsel in 2017, the official five-piece jam-grass band are now celebrating their self-titled debut album, released on September 24. Produced by banjoist Chris Pandolfi and released on The Infamous Stringdusters’ record label Americana Vibes, Morsel is in some great company to help lead them straight to success.
After hoping to get into the studio for a while and patiently searching for the right producer, the band joined forces with Pandolfi which was “a dream come true” for them. After spending most of November of last year laying down the record, the end result is a fun and funky 12-track album that highlights both the synergetic atmosphere of a jam band and the immense talents of five passionate individuals. Bits and pieces of bluegrass, country, rock, funk and so much more, Morsel showcases the best of a five-piece band that came to fruition in the right place and at the right time.
