American poet, songwriter and troubadour (Folk, country, western, traditional and alternative) Jason Dea West is an American troubadour who sings what he lives and lives what he sings. Wests' poignant lyrics are brilliantly blended with vintage country, folk and blues, and timely sensibilities. From epic guitar and harmonica instrumentals to humorous song as story, Jason never strays very far from the anarchic punk-folk roots of his beloved former band Barefoot Surrender and his celebrated current band Intuitive Compass.

COLE DIAMOND LIVE AT THE PLUS
FRIDAY, JUNE 6TH
208 S BARSTOW STREET
EAU CLAIRE, WI
General Admission | All Ages
$15 cover | $20 at door
Doors 8pm | Showtime 8:30pm

Mixing up an unlikely concoction of vintage rock & roll and outlaw country, Cole Diamond is, depending on when you ask, either the stage name for singer/songwriter Ryan Otte or the collective handle for Otte and his Band. For years Otte spent most weekends behind a drum kit playing with too many bands to list. The idea for Cole Diamond came about as a way for Otte to step out from behind the drums and try his hand at the front of the stage. In the years since Cole Diamond was conceived he has released two EPS, a string of singles, received airplay on 89.3 The Current, and opened for national acts such as Jenny Don't & The Spurs, Corb Lund and The Wilder Blue. Drawing on influences that range from Waylon and Willie to Brooks & Dunn, Cole Diamond delivers a modern take on a classic sound.
It is old school outlaw music of the 1980s - think Waylon Jennings or Leon Russell. I loved it.
- Ann Treacy, Mostly MN
I Challenge you to find a purer strain on Honky Tonk in the Twin Cities
- Carol Roth, Adventures in Americana
Cole Diamond is a Minneapolis treasure and his latest EP is a shining example of good writing, good taste, and down-home good vibes.
- Bill Stoneberg, The Sound 89.5 FM KQAL Winona, MN

The Driftless Revelers
The Driftless Revelers formed in the second spring of the first global pandemic of the 21st century, with one ear turned toward the shellac platters and Victrola virtuosos of the early to mid 20th century, and the other ear glued to the soundscapes of the 1960's & 1970's American freak-folk scene.
Since their debut tour in 2021, the band has billed with Grammy winning bluegrass legends like Tim O'Brien & the Gibson Brothers, toured extensively throughout the Upper Midwest performing with other amazing artists like Big Richard, Willy Tea Taylor, Davey Allen & the Midnights, and had breakout performances at several festivals and events (Sol Grass Music Festival, Mile of Music in Appleton, WI. featured in Rolling Stone Magazine).
These Eau Claire, Wisconsin based weirdos have earned a cult following of devoted fans from Minnesota to Michigan who appreciate their irreverent, highly original, and sometimes slightly psychedelic interpretation of American roots music with a Midwest twist. Their live show banter and thoroughly entertaining sets have earned them comparisons to Ween, Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show, They Might be Giants, Tenacious D, Cheech & Chong, and the Holy Modal Rounders. Their debut record, American Fork Standards (2022), was well received by their family members, and a few other people who said nice things about it. Their most recent record, Live at the Slowpoke Lounge & Cabaret (2024) captures the band's deadpan comedy and musical chops in a lounge environment that demands a proper listen in a leisure suit with a scotch & Pall Mall.
Featuring the original songwriting of Ben Nelson, Matthew R. Sayles, and Jerod Kaszynski, the Driftless Revelers will pleasure a crowd with plectral wah pedal banjo tones, the mournful wailing of resophonic steel guitars, and the up-right bass bellows of an era that can't quite be defined, but revels in the timeless ephemera of weird old-time American music.
With influences as varied and eccentric as a proper musty smelling thrift store record collection, the band grooves merrily through early roots blues and jazz music, to hillbilly and string band howlers, all the way into the not-quite folk but not-quite psychedelic realms of their own creation.
A Driftless Revelers show will lure you in with their joy--keep you dancing with their search for the cosmic groove in the confines of stringed instruments--and will send you on your way with flashbacks of the Driftless Revelry found only in the essence of the intangible reaches of notes once played-- that then fall silent.

//COMMENTS FROM CONCERT ATTENDEES
We never heard of this band before buying tickets to their Saint Paul show. They knocked us out with how talented they all are. We're definitely new fans and we're looking forward to the next show! Sharon - Saint Paul, MN
The vocals, the guitars, the keyboards, the drums--all of jaw dropping excellence. This band could be dropped into any venue--6th Street in Austin, Greenwich Village, Memphis, Chicago, St. Louis--and this would be the draw. The bar hosting them would be dealing with lines around the block. Gary - Fargo, ND
Great Show!!!! Bob - Saint Paul, MN
We LOVED the show at TAK Music Venue. We're looking forward to the next show. Kris - Moorhead, MN
This band never disappoints! Ken - Minneapolis, MN
This band blew me away. I never heard of them before buying tickets to their show in Winona. Highly recommend. They are the real deal! Mike - Winona, MN
Hands down the best concert I've seen in years! Rhonda - St. Michael, MN
Born from the ashes of various musical projects that reached their natural conclusion, Andy Hanson embarked on a solo journey. This journey begins in his home base of Eau Claire, WI, and unfolds through carefully crafted folk and Americana songs. At the heart of his music lies a deep yearning to explore the essence of life, death, and the musical avenues that can expel the shame and guilt born out of perceived social norms.
For artistic inspiration, Andy draws from a diverse range of influences, blending the timeless artistry of folk legends from the 1960s with the fresh perspectives of contemporary songwriters. His sound evokes the spirit of Bob Dylan, intertwined with the emotive storytelling of artists like Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors, Amigo the Devil, and Jeffrey Martin.
