About This Episode
A jam band with a unique style and
presence, the Big Wu combines strong, free flowing improvisation
and vocal harmonies, with finely crafted songs for all tastes. The
story goes that “the Wu,” bound for rock stardom, sold their souls
for a case of Old Style beer one thirsty night long ago. The legend
and the band live on. Still rocking their powerful, moving, and
energizing music for the fans, we were pleased to welcome them back
in our 2017 show season for their 2nd appearance at the Big Blue
Tent.
Black River Review plays freshwater
bluegrass from the twin sports of Duluth, MN and Superior, WI. BRR
has crafted their own sound made up of mostly original music which
can be heard on their debut album “Garbage Pickin’ (2013). Their
sophomore album “Spring Thaw” was released in 2014, and their
latest release was revealed in 2017, right at our very own Big Top
performance!
