Pretend Friend is a nationally touring progressive bluegrass and folk band based in Wichita, Kansas. Focused on creating original music, Pretend Friend melds captivating lyrics and soulful melodies into timeless songs. The blending of traditional familiarity with improvised jams, driving bluegrass, vocal harmonies, and anthemic choruses only begins to encompass the soundscape created by the genre-bending acoustic group.
Joe Wais (The MilBillies) and Jordan Kroeger (Chicken Wire Empire) take turns calling and singing a wide array of songs from old time bluegrass standards to 'grassy' covers of contemporary hits.
