Tan and Sober Gentlemen
9pm - $5 Entry

Hailing from Snow Camp, North Carolina, the Tan and Sober Gentlemen pioneer a sound they call "Celtic punk-grass." Raw and unfiltered, this style is a blend of hard-driving, danceable roots music from both sides of the pond, delivered with a punk edge and whisky-fuelled abandon. They are particularly noted for their rip-roaring live show, featuring all sorts of on-stage shenanigans, audience engagement, and above all tremendous energy. As far as folk music goes, the Tan and Sober Gentlemen are the best drinking and dancing band you'll find!
Don't miss this hot show live on the pub stage - only at Jack of the Wood.

The Misty Mountain String Band
9pm - $5 Entry
Drawing influence from old-time music, Americana,
bluegrass, and songs of labor and protest, Misty Mountain
String Band doesn’t stray far from their upbringings in
Kentucky and Virginia. Formed as a pickup group
for an old-time camp revival, MMSB has evolved into
a professional band that’s as at home playing with the
Louisville Philharmonia Orchestra as at bluegrass festivals
with Americana favorites. The group connects with fans
of folk music around the world, sharing unique string
band music written for today but informed by tradition.
MMSB has universal appeal, combining high energy
with charismatic storytelling and a warm, conversational
attitude.
