At the end of February we’ll be playing an evening double-show with a band that’s among the very best in czech progressive bluegrass. We’re talking, of course, about New Aliquot with David Benda. We can’t wait!
The European Bluegrass Association is organizing the second edition of the Bluegrass Summit — a conference in Prague that also includes a showcase of selected bands from various European countries. This year, among others, Rooster Riders were chosen by the europian committee and will be performing as part of the event.
At the end of March, we’ll play in Brno at Stará Pekárna. This legendary music club with a rich program will dip into bluegrass waters and present the Roosters with two high-energy sets. Don’t forget to buy a ticket beforehand - they are cheaper that way!.
As part of the annual concert series in the South Bohemian bluegrass capital, Velešín, Rooster Riders will be there this year. Get ready for two full-featured sets of the best we’ve got. Anyone who’s ever been to a show at Zlatá Růže already knows that killer atmosphere — and we’re damn sure the rest of you will feel it this year.
How many bands on the Czech bluegrass scene play Punch Brothers tunes? We know only two — us and Vacuum Ball — and this exact duo will deliver a stacked night full of bluegrass and related genres in Polička. You don’t want to miss this!
We’re really looking forward to a double concert with the Austrian country band Pickin' Tales at the legendary Brno jazz bar U Kouřícího Králíka. This year, Pickin' Tales received the “Newcomer award" from the Austrian Country Music Federation - so there's a lot to look for. Their traditional take on American country will make a great contrast to Kohouti’s progressive bluegrass set.
We’re incredibly excited about the invitation to the Swedish festival Nääsville, where we’ll play alongside great European bands like Blue Weed and Dunderhead. You can catch us on Friday at 8 PM and on Saturday from 4 PM. We can’t wait for this new opportunity!
We’re really looking forward to heading to Kamenitá near Frýdek-Místek for the Mandolin Party festival, whose very first edition took place back in 1982. This legendary event has been a meeting point for bands with phenomenal mandolin players for decades. And since we have one of those ourselves, we obviously can’t be missing from this year’s lineup!
