ALIVE AFTER FIVE: STOMP YOUR FEET TO POLECAT'S INFECTIOUS 'STOMPGRASS'

This week’s Alive After Five headliner: Polecat
Go Listen Boise local opener: Blaze & Kelly

ABOUT POLECAT

Formed in Bellingham, Washington, in March 2010, Polecat has quickly established itself in the Northwest, with two records and over 200 shows in two years. Their unique instrumentation is comprised of Karl Olson (drums), Jeremy Elliott (electric guitar and vocals), Aaron Guest (vocals and 12 string guitar), Cayley Schmid (fiddle), and Richard Reeves (upright bass). This enables them to seamlessly blend genres, including bluegrass, country, celtic, rock, and world music into their sound. “The core audience of Polecat is, well, everybody. There is a sense of mass appeal attached to Polecat for its unique take on bluegrass, as well as an acknowledged respect for their honest approach to their genre.” (H. Nightbert, What’s Up! Magazine, June 2010).

Aside from their self-titled E.P. and full length album ‘Fire on the Hill’, one of the best aspects of Polecat is their live show. Their music celebrates life, love, and good times, and it reflects on the faces of the players and their audience. Polecat has shared the stage with several nationally acclaimed acts, including The Infamous Stringdusters, The Hackensaw Boys, The Moondoogies, and Trampled by Turtles.

ALIVE AFTER FIVE: BLUEGRASS WITH THE RANDOM CANYON GROWLERS!

This week’s Alive After Five headliner: Random Canyon Growlers
Go Listen Boise local opener: Sunnyvale Stringband

ABOUT THE RANDOM CANYON GROWLERS

Hard drivin’ traditional bluegrass from Jackson Hole!

Random Canyon Growlers hail from Jackson Hole, Wyo., but trace their origins to Randolph, Vt. Centered on the songwriting and picking talents of childhood friends David McMeekin and Jamie Drysdale, the band serves up fiery, pop-inflected bluegrass that do-si-dos the line where custom meets contemporary innovation. On their debut album, …Dickey Ain’t Got All Day, the Growlers explore a variety of grassy terrain, from old-school back-porch pickin’ to jazzy instrumental newgrass to Avett Brothers-styled punk-grass.

As a songwriting tandem, McMeekin and Drysdale complement each other well. Guitarist and vocalist Drysdale is definitively informed by pop, especially on cuts such as album opener “With You Beside Me,” the brooding “Blood Whistle” and Vermont-homage “Keep Your License Plates Green.” Meanwhile, banjoist and vocalist McMeekin grounds the band in its bluegrass roots. Tunes such as “Don’t Ask That Question,” the rousing “Afraid to Go Home” and classic rambler “Alaska Basin” exhibit a clear reverence for the giants of the genre.Seven Days
