Chicago based country folk and bluegrass band that performs their own original songs mixed with traditional covers.

The Blackberry Bushes are a Northwest alt-folk stringband fronted by Jes Raymond and Kendl Winter. The Bushes’ innovative acoustic pop draws from the deep roots of American traditional music to create a rich patchwork that shares threads with bands like the Avett Brothers, Dixie Chicks, The Be Good Tanyas, and Nickel Creek.Jes and Kendl are supported by carefully constructed soundscapes that feature the virtuosic fiddle of Jakob Breitbach and Michael Connolly on the upright bass.

HEYOOOH!!! Best have your best dance’n shoes on and your beer held high! Rickett Pass is built of 4 everyday bastards lookin to RIP up some tunes and have one hell of a hangover in the mornin’. We could tell you some long drawn out story of our lives but thats boring and takes away time from shoot’n whiskey and play’n tunes. So come out and party with us, and if you want our story “I’ll pull my fist outchya mouf and you can ask” smiles, see ya there. With Love, your Bluegrass Bastards.
