More About THEM COULEE BOYS
Born in the Northwoods of Wisconsin when Soren Staff and Beau Janke were just camp counselors swapping The Avett Brothers tunes and old country standards, Them Coulee Boys have grown into something far bigger than their humble beginnings. What started as porch-side picking turned into a full-bodied, genre-blurring force, with Jens Staff’s mandolin weaving through the mix, backed by the driving pulse of Neil Krause on bass and Stas Hable on drums.
Their sound lives somewhere between a front-porch confession and a full-throttle barn burner. One moment, the room holds its breath. The next, it’s shaking under dancing feet. It’s not a performance you just watch. It’s one you feel in your chest.
With a catalog that includes the acclaimed Die Happy, produced by Dave Simonett, and Namesake, shaped alongside Grammy-winning producer Brian Joseph, the band has carved out a national presence while staying fiercely rooted in storytelling that feels personal, unfiltered, and lived-in. They’ve shared stages with Trampled By Turtles, Los Lobos, and Old Crow Medicine Show, earning a reputation for shows that swing wildly between reflection and release.
And now, as they step into their final year of touring, dates like this aren’t just concerts. They’re moments. Finite, fleeting, and charged with everything that made the journey worth it.
It’s an honor to host them.
It’s your chance to be in the room when it all comes pouring out.
