Carrie Nation & the Speakeasy
(past pick) This Kansas band has a somewhat improbable moniker (there’s no Carrie in the band, which is named after the legendary prohibitionist) and M.O. (mixing punk, bluegrass and Dixieland ... what?). It all makes more sense when you hear their music, though, which really does manage to blend old-timey sounds with a speedy punk-edged approach. They’ll visit Madison on tour behind this summer’s album release, Gnosis.
