Them Coulee Boys Final Tour @ Fitzgeralds Nightclub

FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB PRESENTS:THEM COULEE BOYS seen HERE $30 General Admission // $40/seat reserved tablesSoren Staff and Beau Janke - co-founders of folk/rock/Americana outfit Them Coulee Boys - met as camp counselors in northern Wisconsin in 2011. Their weekend workshopping of Avett Brothers and classic country tunes led to original songs and adding Sorens brother Jens on mandolin. As the years grew, the band turned into a more rollicking outfit, adding Neil Krause on electric bass and Stas Hable on drums. The bands name is a nod to the glacial melt-carved river valleys they call home, known by early French fur trappers as coulees. Known for wild swings of emotion during sets, it is not unusual to see fans in tears and minutes later dancing with abandon. The honesty and ability to talk and sing about the feelings and emotions that shape them has endeared them to a growing group of fans and friends.With four full-length albums and an EP behind them, including 2019s Die Happy (produced byTrampled By Turtles Dave Simonett on Lo-Hi Records) and 2021s Namesake (produced by Grammy winner Brian Joseph), the band has garnered international attention and earned press in American Songwriter, Ditty TV, Folk Alley, and The Bluegrass Situation, as well as tours with Trampled By Turtles, Los Lobos, Old Crow Medicine Show and a spot on the songwriters Cayamo Cruise.2021s Namesake found the band following a new trajectory, combining their signature take on folk-grass and Americana with comfort on electric instruments and playing rock and roll. The record lives and breathes. Its both intimate and bombastic. Its the sweet aunt who makes delicious pies and the wiley uncle whos not afraid to hit a bit of the bottle. At the bottom is the acceptance that comes with family and old friends; none of us are perfect, but theres enough love out there to make up for it.In 2020, they were named Milwaukee Journal Sentinels Band to Watch. In 2021, they won Bluegrass/Americana Band of the Year b
