Ben Majeska

Ben Majeska, guitarist for Madison’s eclectic, electrifying bluegrass-based quartet Armchair Boogie, often extends the group’s jam-friendly nature to Majeska Monday, his long-running series at the Up North Pub, by coordinating a one-time-only ensemble. That’s the case with this month’s installment, featuring Majeska joined by Scotty Lochner and Maxaphone (both of People Brothers Band), Josh Guy (of the Astronomers), Belinda Akale (Wisconsin Singers), and Dan Budziszewski (who also plays with Majeska in Wonderfunk). Anything could happen.

Majeska Monday is the brainchild of Armchair Boogie's guitarist 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.
