•• GREAT CAESAR'S GOAT ••
Original Americana with exceptional songwriting, a superior rhythm section, and amazing licks on a pair of beat up Gretsch’s is what you will hear from Great Caesar’s Goat. The band has years of professional experience behind them, its members sharing stages with the likes of Gary Clark Jr, Little Big Town, Rascal Flatts, and Little Feat just to name a few. They bring a polished, edgy and professional show to every stage… Big or Small.
The “Goats” have deep roots in the Texas Hill Country. Founded by two songwriters, Chris Patterson and Spencer Braly, the pair both spent their time in the bars and music clubs of Austin working on their craft. The pair became fast friends when they ran into each other in a bar in Ames, IA. Within weeks the two began writing and Great Caesar’s Goat was born. They sought out the best rhythm section central Iowa had to offer and soon drummer Todd Cumming and bassist Greg Bruna were recruited to join the duo and round out the band.
The band describes its music as Americana Rock and Roll from the Heartland… A strong mix of rock and roll and country with a focus on storytelling. Patterson and Braly work hard to craft their songs and deliver visual images through their music.
Great Caesar’s Goat and/or its members have played in venues and festivals across the country including the Bluebird Café in Nashville, TN; the Continental Club in Austin, TX, IOTA in Arlington, VA; The Rock and Roll Hotel in Washington, DC; The Goldfinch Room in CY Stephens in Ames, IA; Davey’s Uptown Rambler in Kansas City , MO; Nissan Pavillion in Bristow, VA; SXSW in Austin, TX; DC 101 Music Festival in Washington, DC; Americana Music Festival in Dewey Beach, DE; 80/35 Festival in Des Moines, IA; and Hinterland in St. Charles, IA.
Great Caesar’s Goat comes to play… Their setlist varies with each show but consists mostly of originals which the band can choose from over 100 Patterson and Braly penned tunes along with an occasional cover that has been “Goatified”.
“Shit-Kickin’ Americana. These boys come to play.” - Raleigh Independent
“Compared favorably to Drive By Truckers, Steve Earle, and Johnny Cash… And not without good reason.” - Ontap Magazine
•• JOEL SIRES TRIO ••
There is a chance Joel Sires (songs/guitar), Jacob Lampman (guitar) and Sam Stover (Upright Bass) are playing in your town tonight. These road dogs have been bringing their ragged but right sound to music enthusiasts in listening rooms and living rooms all over the midwest since 2023 and show little sign of slowing. You'll find them diving into folk, american roots, jazz and comedy on a darkened stage or quiet corner almost any night of the week.
