Ben Majeska

Bluegrass fans already know the score on this Majeska Monday concert, which brings together a couple generations of Wisconsin players. For the uninitiated: Bassist Mark Hembree’s resume includes a stint in Bill Monroe’s band and co-founding the Nashville Bluegrass Band; guitarist Art Stevenson has led High Water for three decades, and is a co-host of Back to the Country on WORT-FM; and Dale Reichert plays banjo with Stevenson in High Water. The younger generation is represented ably by Armchair Boogie guitarist Ben Majeska, and Chicken Wire Empire fiddle-bower Ernest Brusubardis IV.

Majeska Monday is the brainchild of Armchair Boogie's Ben Majeska - a collaborative monthly residency at the Up North Bar in Madison, WI. Generally taking place the first Monday of every month, Majeska brings together often one-time-only band collaborations that range from funk to bluegrass to rock, or showcases actual bands that he has the privilege of sharing the show with. One way or another, you're going to like what you hear
