Nurse Julie are an instrumental chamber ensemble from the sprawl between Chicago and Milwaukee that subscribe to the ethics of punk rock, with a sound that lies somewhere within the realm of post-rock.Average Joey is a full time traveling songwriter and musician, living perpetually on the road sharing his mix of storytelling folk songs, mischievous country tunes, danceable string band music, and punk rock banjo. When joined by the Rabble Rousers, Average Joey is able to bring these songs to life backed by fiddle, jazz guitar, and Tuba. Roaming Bear is a name that is synonymous with fun and adventure to his small cult of loyal followers; the “Roaming Bear Militia.” Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago and Milwaukee, Bear was inspired by the riff-heavy midwest emo bands that shaped the Chicago music scene, but also the lyrically comedic acoustic folk punk ballads of Milwaukee sweethearts the Violent Femmes.
