On this episode of Tent Show Radio, country-Rock 'n' Roll outfit Adam Greuel & the Space Burritos rock the tent with an unforgettable performance.

From a galaxy far, far away, yet oddly close by, Adam Greuel & the Space Burritos bring some type of musical mischief to stage’s here, there, and everywhere! Rooted in country, blues, bluegrass, and show music, as Levon Helm put it, you could just call it “rock n’ roll”. They specialize in having a damn good time.

Despite that fun loving attitude, the musicians that frontman Adam Greuel (Horseshoes & Hand Grenades) assembles are some of the Midwest’s finest musical minds. Performing a hearty swamp of original music, as well as select covers from some of time’s finest rock n’ rollers (Little Feat, The Band, Jerry Jeff Walker), the Space Burritos embark on a mission to get you dancing off that festy-burrito, while also potentially, quite possibly, frankly, taking your mind to…space.
