MID-SUMMER MELTDOWN
FEATURING SMOKIN' BANDITS
Bringing the summer festival feel to one of the Midwest’s premier music venues, the Mid-Summer Meltdown presented by Hundredth Monkey Productions is set to shake the roof off of the Majestic Theatre showcasing four of the Midwest’s top touring bands: Smokin’ Bandits, White Iron Band, SweetGrass, and Chicken Wire Empire! The event is proudly sponsored by Pearl Street Brewery who will be conducint a special Madison release of their Smokin’ Hemp Porter as a part of the event and will also have other award winning beers on tap all night.
SMOKIN’ BANDITS
Partnering with Hundredth Monkey Productions as well as headlining the event is the Smokin’ Bandits who have been a staple on a powerful Midwest scene for nearly a decade with their original, high-energy form of music they call “Grass n’ Roll.” With a catalog of original material mixing influences ranging from The Allman Brothers Band to Leftover Salmon, Rolling Stones to Gov’t Mule, the band brings a powerhouse performance each time they take the stage sure to make you move, shake, and promising for every show to be one of different complexity and form. Forming as a string band in La Crosse, WI in 2003, the Bandits electrified in 2004 to form a sound that is uniquely theirs but reaches to music lovers of all different genres and generations.
In nearly a decade of touring the Smokin’ Bandits have shared the stage with the likes of Little Feat, Dr. John, Great American Taxi, ekoostik hookah, Jazz Mandolin Project, The Big Wu, Melvin Seals & JGB, Steve Kimock, Bill Miller and Trampled by Turtles amongst many more and each of the last six years have hosted their Bandit County Fair Music Festival featuring the best regional and national talent the Midwest has to offer. Past performers at the Bandit County Fair include Great American Taxi (featuring Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon), Willy Porter, steez, Heatbox, Natty Nation, Fat Maw Rooney, Stealin’ Strings, Roster McCabe, Shoeless Revolution, Two Many Banjos (featuring Dave Caroll of Trampled by Turtles), The Grasshoppers, White Iron Band, Nicholas Mrozinski & The Feelin’ Band, Clovis Mann as well as dozens of others who have graced the stages with their talent.

WHITE IRON BAND
The night also features outlaw country rockers White Iron Band. The White Iron Band is a high-energy renegade American roots band specializing in foot-stompin, forget-what-troubles-ya music. With energy to blow your face off and enough soul to well your eyes, the band is best taken live with friends and strangers. Their shows combine lyrical accessibility and explosive musicianship to produce a rich experience for the head, heart, and legs.
Originally formed in Ely, MN, by frontman Matt Pudas, guitarist Sammy Weyandt and keyboardist Eddie Juntunen, the White Iron Band embodies the triumphs and struggles of the everyday man. Their songs carry a tinge of the old cowboy legends canonized by the Highwaymen, with stories ranging from tales of love, pain, jail, work and whiskey. Now based in Minneapolis, the group has established a passionate and equally as rowdy fan-base throughout the Midwest and has traveled further to spread their unique mix of blues, country and Americana roots music.
After over ten years together, the band has played over a thousand shows and released five full-length, original albums. With a long road behind them, the White Iron Band has shown they are worth the wait and is on the brink of breaking into the national music scene. The White Iron Band has supported and shared the stage with such acts as David Allen Coe, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, North Mississippi Allstars, Shooter Jennings, and many more.

SWEETGRASS
SweetGrass is a Wisconsin-based bluegrass quintet uniting the traditions of American roots music with youthful creativity. Their playful temperament, energetic live performances and diverse original repertoire have earned them attention and respect beyond the Midwest’s premiere festival and club circles. Whether they’re raising a ruckus in barrooms or serenading crowds in lawn chairs, they’re making waves wherever they go – simply put, SweetGrass is the people’s band.
SweetGrass cut their teeth busking on the street corners of Madison, and in the process conjured a multigenerational bluegrass following almost instantly. In 2009 they became MBOTMA’s (Minnesota Bluegrass & Old-Time Music Association) “Race for a Place” champions, catapulting them onto the festival scene. Last summer they were runners-up at RockyGrass in Lyons, Colorado and supported Blue Highway at the Minnesota Bluegrass Festival (IBMA nominated “Event of the Year” three times). SweetGrass has also shared the stage with the Infamous Stringdusters, Bearfoot, Greensky Bluegrass, Bruce Molsky & Big Hoedown, Danny Paisley and SouthernGrass, The Gibson Brothers, Pert’ Near Sandstone, Cormeal and more.

CHICKEN WIRE EMPIRE
Milwaukee quartet Chicken Wire Empire (feat. members of Stealin’ Strings, Honest Monday, and R.A.S. Movement) will be starting the night off right at the Majestic. Influenced by Bluegrass, Folk and Roots/Americana music, Chicken Wire Empire was started as a side project in the fall of 2008. By combining acoustic experimentation and traditional bluegrass, CWE provides an upbeat and unique experience onto itself.
CWE has begun spreading their eclectic blend of Folk ’n Grass around the local Milwaukee music scene, recently recorded their first full-length demo and has quickly become a force to be reckoned with amongst the Midwest live music scene.
