The Mountain Goats
2026 Bell’s Beer Garden Summer Concert Series This is a 18 and over event – 17 and under admitted with a parent or guardian Hi it’s John Darnielle and this is the new Mountain Goats bio. Every time you make a record you have to have a new bio and it’s a whole thing. Sometimes you have to have conversations about who’d be a good person to write the bio and other times one of the press people does it and you vet it and it goes through a whole process, but we are eliminating the middle man this time. My other job involves writing prose and I’m regarded as decent enough at it so let’s fast forward through the prelims here. Days is the something-somethingth album by the Mountain Goats. If that last phrase has a number in it then you will know it has been edited by bad people and you should stop reading now. If it says “something somethingth” then we are still together. Like at least two other tMG albums, specifically Goths and Beat the Champ, Days gets born one day when I have a funny idea. The idea in this case was writing a followup to Goths about the 90s and calling it Grunges. I made this joke on the popular recipes blog “Bluesky” and accompanied it with a brief ad-lib called “Contemplating Pearl Jam in the Carolina Dawn” that I recorded in my back yard. But the thing about jokes is there’s often something deeper underneath them, most theories of comedy attest to this, don’t get me started. I’d written out a fake track listing for Grunges but then I wrote a poem about Layne Staley in the underworld getting rescued by Orpheus and I started thinking about the past, a popular theme among writers for many years now, and then I got both sad and smitten with wonder by how the past is a place upon which you both can & can’t enact a sort of renovation: can, by changing perspectives; can’t, because you can’t actually move any parts around or change anything. You think about this stuff as you get older, if you’re lucky enough to be getting older. We recorded the album at Sear Sound in Manhattan, still managed by the legendary Roberta Findlay, with whom I was fortunate enough to have a talk on the phone during the session; Rob Jost played bass on it; he plays in the pit on Death Becomes Her; he also plays French horn here. The group backing vocals are by Catherine Russsell, Jamie Leonhart, and Carolyn Leonhart; the layered backing vocals on “Hidden Majesty of Later Venom Albums” are by Janis Siegal of the Manhattan Transfer, who was tracking on another floor in the same building while we were at Sear. Giant honor for me to have Janis, I am a huge Manhattan Transfer fan. I called my old friend Matt Nathanson to add vocals to “Candlebox.” He knocked it straight out of the park. Mikaela Davis added harp to “Going to Fennario.” You can read about all this in the credits. Looking back on what I’ve written I see that “bio” isn’t exactly what you’d call this, as it tells you very little about me, or about Jon Wurster, the best drummer in rock and if you think I’m exaggerating then bless your heart, or about Matt Douglas, who plays guitars and horns & writes horn arrangements and plays keys besides. I played piano and guitar but mainly I’m the singer. Other biographical details are honestly insignificant to my way of thinking, who really cares, but I get that my opinions about this stuff are a little out of step with the zeitgeist. This is Days by the Mountain Goats
CHICAGO FARMER & The Fieldnotes with Myron Elkins
This is a 18+ event with standing room only| 17 under with a parent or guardian Advance tickets may also be purchased in person at the General Store by card only (no cash) The son of a small-town farming community, Cody Diekhoff logged plenty of highway and stage time under the name Chicago Farmer before settling in the city in 2003. Profoundly inspired by fellow Midwesterner John Prine, he’s a working-class folk musician to his core. His small-town roots, tilled with city streets mentality, are turning heads North and South of I-80. “I love the energy, music, and creativity of Chicago, but at the same time, the roots and hard work of my small town,” he shares. Growing up in Delavan, Illinois, with a population less than 2,000, Diekhoff’s grandparents were farmers, and their values have always provided the baseline of his songs. He writes music for “the kind of people that come to my shows. Whether in Chicago or Delavan, everyone has a story, and everyone puts in a long day and works hard the same way,” he says. “My generation may have been labeled as slackers, but I don’t know anyone who doesn’t work hard – many people I know put in 50-60 hours a week and 12-hour days. That’s what keeps me playing. I don’t like anyone to be left out; my music is for everyone in big and very small towns.” He listened to punk rock and grunge as a kid before discovering a friend’s dad playing Hank Williams, and it was a revelation. Prine and Guthrie quickly followed. The name Chicago Farmer was originally for a band, but the utilitarian life of driving alone from bar to bar, city to city – to make a direct connection to his audience and listener, took a deeper hold.
Horseshoes and Hand Grenades
18+ Standing Room Only Show | 17 and under admitted with a parent or guardian Advance tickets may also be purchased in person at the General Store by card only (no cash) After fifteen years, eight albums, innumerable sold out shows, and countless libations, Americana mavericks Horseshoes & Hand Grenades appropriately consider themselves a “family” on a wild, wonderful, and often whacky roller coaster. The bond between the quintet— Adam Greuel [guitar, vocals], David C. Lynch [harmonica, accordion, vocals], Collin Mettelka [fiddle, vocals], Russell Pedersen [banjo, vocals], and Samual Odin [bass, vocals]— fuels their creativity and chemistry on stage and in the studio. To celebrate fifteen years of making music together, the band released their 8th studio album “Living Room” in January of 2026. Their very first album was recorded in the living room of their college house in Stevens Point. They used a Peavey mixing board that gave them splinters and an old Boss digital recorder. They pieced together equipment, hung some quilts on the windows, and did what came naturally in the Nut House—had a good time. For their new album, they decided to go back into the living room and record at Adam’s house in the hill country of Wisconsin. The record again features tracks written by each member, and that good ol’ fun loving energy that fans have come to know and love! That’s been the case since these five musicians first met in Stevens Point, WI at college, joined forces, and hit the road harder post-graduation in roughly 2013. They have ignited stages alongside everyone from Billy Strings, Greensky Bluegrass, Trampled By Turtles, The Infamous Stringdusters, and Railroad Earth, to Merle Haggard and Marty Stuart in addition to appearances at festivals and venues such as Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Delfest, High Sierra Music Festival, Blue Ox Music Festival, Red Rocks Amphitheater and Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. Their eight albums— Pigtails & Coffin Nails [2011], Another Round [2012], This Old Town [2013], Middle Western [2015], The Ode (2018), Miles in Blue (2020), For Old Time’s Sake (2022), and Living Room (2026) take the listener through a wide range of musical and emotional landscapes, something surely provoked by the five different members all sharing songwriting duties. Their most recent album, “Living Room” is a 13-track album that celebrates their nearly 15 years together as a band, while nodding to the musical roots that have laid the foundation of the band. Greuel says, “Man, we just love making music together. It’s always a fulfilling and interesting process watching one another come up with the parts that make up our sound. We really do our best to honor one another’s musical curiosities, and it feels like that’s what makes us sound uniquely “us”. It’s also just a joy to be able to be yourself, and that’s been something we’ve always tried to keep at the forefront of this band.”
mekons
This is an 18+ seated event | 17 and under admitted with a parent or guardian Advance tickets may also be purchased in person at the General Store by card only (no cash) Sonic adventurers, punk rock fundamentalists, exuberant luddites, willing outcasts. “The mekons are the most revolutionary group in the history of rock ‘n’ roll” – wrote rock critic Lester BangsThe genre-defying mekons formed in Leeds, England in 1977. Born from the emerging British punk scene, they progressed from art students with no musical skills to the prolific, raucous progeny of Hank Williams. This current classic line-up has remained intact since the mid-1980s, continuing to regularly tour and release new music through to now. Theirs is an improbable history – a surprising and influential embrace of folk and country music with occasional forays into the art world. They have always worked collaboratively and collectively with all work credited to the band, never to individuals. Their mind-boggling output consistently blurs the lines between high art and low and has included exhibitions in the UK and US, a deranged pirate musical recorded and staged with Kathy Acker, an art performance with Vito Acconci, and several books including the unique art catalog/unfinished novel Mekons United. “Revenge of the mekons”, a documentary about the band received nationwide release in 2015 on Music Box Films. The mekons continue to make bold, unpredictable music while staying true to the punk ethos. Their mind-boggling output consistently blurs the lines between high art and low and they remain one of the truly great live bands. The band released their latest album “Horror” on Fire Records in early 2025. A dub album of Horror remixed by Grammy nominee Tony Maimone (Pere Ubu) will be released on Fire Records in the summer of 2026.
