Roode Concert Series: West River Junction

Join us July 29th on the library lawn for a performance from West River Junction! West River Junction mixes traditional and contemporary bluegrass into a string music atmosphere. While we have roots in bluegrass, West River Junction brings to the table–a blend of traditional and progressive bluegrass. You might hear West River playing old-timey standards one minute and progressive folk or rock-'n-roll the next.
West River Junction pulls influences from the likes of Bill Monroe, Ralph Stanley, Doc Watson, and David Grisman. But we also are impacted by music from modern rock greats like Elton John to Pink Floyd to G-n-R. With these influences, West River Junction has developed a collection of original tunes as well as reimagined rock songs in a bluegrass style.
West River Junction has played in venues all around, including: The Podunk Bluegrass Festival, St. John’s Bluegrass Festival, The International Arts & Ideas Festival, and Cafe Nine.
