Pat Ferguson & the Sundown Sound

“Americana music” encompasses elements of country, roots rock, folk, bluegrass and blues, and the four bands showcased at Americana Fest perfectly represent the state of the genre in Wisconsin. Two of ’em are from Madison (note, previously scheduled Madison trio Gin Mill Hollow will be unable to make the new date): WheelHouse is one of the city’s hardest-working groups in any genre, playing more than 200 shows per year and radiating goodness wherever they go; and Pat Ferguson recently shared stages with Railroad Earth and Phil Lesh and is building a national reputation. High & Rising, meanwhile, hails from River Falls and calls its rollicking brand of music “groovy grass.” Bands like these are sure to keep you warm on a cold Wisconsin night.
