We're excited to have Billy and The Kid playing our stage this summer! They recently played inside our taproom and the place was rocking!
You don't want to miss this show!
Combined Billy and Frank have been entertaining folks professionally for over 58 years! Billy played in blues bands in Chicago and Kalamazoo and Frank played in a Honkey Tonk-Bluegrass band called The Harvestmen (2 CD’s) and a Reggae-Ska band called Frank-o and The Americans (1 CD), both writing and playing original music.
They came together at Zac’s Open Mic at The Workshop back in March of ’23 and started playing as Billy and The Kid in the summer of ’23. They play things that are tricky and fun to play (for us, cuz if it blows our minds, we know everyone else should enjoy it as well) but also things that interplay well between the Mando and Guitar voicing. Maybe an acoustic jam grass blues w/some bluegrass and jazz-folk influence (and sometimes Reggae). Their material lies within Jerry Garcia and David Grisman, Doc Watson, Billy Strings, Grateful Dead and Trampled by Turtles to name a few. They also write their own material and play those along with some ripping Blues and their takes on tunes that you may never hear the way they have arranged them, and the way they play and sing them!
