"Alternative Americana Night"
Join us for the 13th annual "Stringband Fever" with a killer night of music and mayhem! Featuring the legendary Lester T. Raww's Graveside Quartet and birthday girl, Samm Bones
LESTER T. RAWW'S THE GRAVESIDE QUARTET (SF)
Lester T. Raww and his Pine Box Boy cohorts have created a new band, a side project, and a new sound to celebrate their fascination with things morbid. While the themes are similar, The Graveside Quartet picks up where "Tales From The Emancipated Head" left off, leaving the Pine Box Boys free to continue hootin' and hollerin' their way through Lester's murder ballads. The Graveside Quartet steers clear of the country vibe, dubiously replacing the banjo with an accordion, the Martin guitar for the ukulele, and adding a horn
section. Think New Orleans jazz meets Tin Pan Alley meets the Pine Box Boys. It's gonna be killer!

SAMM BONES (Anchorage, AK)
Samm Bones hit the road for the first time at age 18. She spent years traveling. Adventuring off to journeys far and wide. Her music sings tales of ragged travel. With rasp in her strong voice and unique style of music. Samm is the definition of a strong female role and a DIY individual. She is also the author of her novel, Heavy Metal Meditation. Telling her story of her homeless youth, hoping freight trains, living hard. To her own self discovery. Taking a journey through the mountains of Alaska and to the desert of Peru. Finding music, and how music saved her life.
