Bio:


The Warbuckles are a St. Louis based string band fusing the sounds of Americana, bluegrass, folk, country, and old-time music. They released their first self-titled LP in 2012 (self-produced) and played many shows around the city for several years thereafter. After original bassist Brian Bennett relocated from St. Louis, the band laid dormant until 2015. That year, they re-formed with new members banjoist Tom Souders and bassist Andy Rueter. The current lineup is as follows:


Mitch Hill - Mandolin and Vocals
Pat O'Driscoll - Guitar and Vocals
Phil James - Percussion and Vocals
Tom Souders - Banjo and Vocals
Andy Rueter - Upright Bass and Vocals


Press:

"Of the up-and-comers, folk/bluegrass quartet the Warbuckles shows the most promise. The gospel strains of "These Chains Are Long" comes through in the group harmonies, and the punky fervor of rough guitar strums gives the song some spit and fire." - River Front Times

Wednesday, October 4th brings a free show thanks to Urban Chestnut
They welcome Ryan Koenig as celebrates his Record Release with Tortuga and The Other Years (Louisville, KY) at Off Broadway. Visit HERE for all of the event details.

Ryan Koenig is releasing his new solo record "Two Different Worlds" on Big Muddy Records. The day of the show is also Ryan's 32nd birthday. Recently Christian Schaffer wrote an RFT A-Z article on his latest album. You can stream his previous solo release on Spotify. Visit HERE to stream Tortuga and also HERE for The Other Years on Bandcamp. Posted below is a biography of each artist also.

Ryan Koenig Biography:

Skilled multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter, Ryan Koenig spends much of his time touring with a variety of internationally recognized musical acts. He is a proud native of Saint Louis, MO, but his career as a professional musician has brought him coast to coast in the continental United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. 

Ryan has recorded and performed on harmonica, guitar, guit-jo, banjo, dobro, fiddle, mandolin, washboard, bass, bones, and jug--just to name a few. His ability to change instruments at a moment's notice thrills audiences wherever he goes. In addition to his skill as an instrumentalist, Ryan sings in a highly distinctive tenor voice, and is a prolific songwriter. 

His adventures as a traveling musician began on guitar and vocals for spirited St. Louis rock 'n' roll trio, The Vultures. In 2006, he co-founded an original blues group, Rum Drum Ramblers, with long-time creative conspirators Mat Wilson and Joey Glynn. Ryan joined Americana and roots act Pokey LaFarge in 2008, a project which has taken him from divey bar rooms to festival stages to theater venues all over the globe.   

When not on the road, Ryan spends his time writing and performing hillbilly-inspired country tunes as Lonesome Cowboy Ryan. He also collaborates with partner Kellie Everett in an old timey radio cowboy duo, Southwest Watson Sweethearts. But this only scratches the surface! He appears in the studio and on stage in St. Louis with The Loot Rock Gang (blues/soul), Tortuga (gothic spaghett-western), Jack Grelle (honky tonk/country), and Sidney Street Shakers (hot trad jazz), just to name a few.     

Tortuga Biography:

Tortuga is a music project, featuring songs written by Mike Leahy (7 Shot Screamers) and backed by an amazing group of St.Louis musicians via the Big Muddy Records roster.

The Other Years Biography:

The Other Years are a duet born from a sister frienship, two friendly vines headed up the same vine. Theirvoices combine in many forms, embarking on a journey of songwriting influenced by the old time tradition.

The Great Grandfathers @ Plush on 9/22 feature! #STL #MUSIC

Allow me to introduce to you eight members with one collective passion for music and they go by the name of The Great Grandfathers. They will be sharing the stage with Jimmy Griffin and also The Defeated County this Saturday at Plush. HERE is the official event on facebook.

The Pop-Rock, Soul-Dance extravaganza that is "Saint Anthony's Fire" is their first effort. The Riverfront Times had the following to say about them this past June,"Saint Anthony's Fire is the band's first release, and it sounds like the fruitful labor of plenty of both bedroom songwriting sessions and meticulous studio tinkering." This is just an excerpt of the review by Christian Schaeffer. But you get the idea that they put a lot of thought and time getting it just right. With a heritage, yet modern sound, they have created a truly unique album with an addictive title track. HERE is a link to their EPK is you feel so inclined to check it out. Without further ado here is a song by the group.

Post 53 feat. 8uz *Exclusive*, Sinfinis & Spiral-Shaped Mind @ Crack Fox 8/28

This Saturday night at the Crack Fox, 8uz, Sinfinis & Spiral-Shaped Mind will be there and plan to alter your idea of what live music performance is. So, get ready to open your mind for a unique experience. HERE is the facebook event. 8uz's unique live performances stem from their usage of live drums. Unlike most electronic groups, their foundation comes from their musicianship instead of a computer and according to the RFT, they sound “like nothing else in St. Louis. Visit there website to download their earlier albums for free to prepare you for their upcoming release Valiance, available Fall 2011 (through their Withered Records label). In conclusion, we have an exclusive track by 8uz for you, courtesy of the artist and Marquee Media. So, thanks for sending us this! In addition, we have featured Sinfinis before and also Spiral-Shaped Mind, so I did some thinking and found a track that will work to represent these artists also. By the way, Sinfinis is striving for fan #777, once they reach the number they are releasing a new track for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!

Riverfront Times Showcase Samplers 1 & 2 + Blind Eyes live @ KDHX:

The Riverfront Times Showcase is tomorrow in downtown St. Louis and it is just $5.00 to go, the A-Z music blog has compiled a preview of some of the artists that will be performing. So, I thought it would be beneficial to share their playlist with you also. The event takes place from 2pm to 2am. Click the highlighted link for a detailed synopsis on each act and where to get there music. Support the artist in any way you can, the artists submitted these tracks to them for sampling purposes, so go to one of their shows and or purchase their music when it is possible to do so. Also, if you plan to attend, here is a handy guide to the event right HERE. So, here it is, part one and part two of the sampler, courtesy of the RFT:

I think it is nice to see them using Sound Cloud, another local site that has been using it for quite awhile now is KDHX, they crank out new tracks every day. You see, every day that any artist stops by their studio, they have a video feature of them and they record it. They upload those tracks to Sound Cloud too. Normally, this is for free downloads, but I think sometimes it is good to feature stuff like this too. It is just good for the scene. Since the above tracks are from RFT artists, I figured why not share something from KDHX too, so low and behold the other day's session was with the Blind Eyes. They are on the RFT Showcase for 2011 too, so it just works, enjoy streaming all of this mostly local talent from this post. Without further ado, here are the Blind Eyes live on KDHX from June 2nd:
