Rucksack Revolution is the melding of two of Wisconsin's most recognized modern singer-songwriters. Adam Greuel, of the high-energy string band Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, and Sarah Vos, of the folk-inspired Dead Horses, draw from broad musical influences ranging from Leonard Cohen to Fleetwood Mac to Gillian Welch & David Rawlings to bring you a show that will be mostly focused on original material. The duo's chemistry as musical partners and dear friends is apparent as their music features tight harmonies, introspective lyricism, and soaring melodies.
Their first album Rucksack Revolution was recorded at the famed Pachyderm Studios in Cannon Falls, MN and released in 2022. The record gained the attention of fans and promoters alike and the duo soon began appearing at festivals and small theaters throughout the Midwest. The live show typically features original songs from that first album, some select originals from the Horseshoes & Hand Grenades and Dead Horses repertoires, and a number of cover songs by artists that the pair have been deeply inspired by.
In 2026, Sarah and Adam recorded their sophomore effort, Polish Flats and Watercress, which will be officially released on Friday, August 21. Featuring 10 original songs, the duo put the focus on the simplicity and beauty of “the song” and created a relatively stripped down album in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes.
