Jamgrass, newgrass, funkgrass, whatever you want to call it — Armchair Boogie is rapidly becoming one of the country’s hottest acts. With an unbounded sound, this Wisconsin-based quartet is known for its powerful harmonies, timeless originals, and choice covers, along with unforgettable live performances. Listed as a “Must-See Roots Artists at Bourbon & Beyond'' by The Bluegrass Situation, who wrote, “We recently caught this jammy Wisconsin outfit at EarlScruggs Music Festival, where they burnt down their late-night set.

Armchair Boogie is Augie Dougherty on banjo with Ben Majeska on acoustic & electric guitars, backed by tight, driving rhythms of Eli Frieders on electric bass and Denzel Connor on drums.

This unconventional lineup enhances their lightning-fast bluegrass, allowing them to freely venture into the realms of funk or country. A band on the verge, Armchair Boogie is excited to independently release their 4th studio recording, Hard Times & Deadlines, on March 15. Composing these songs around the beginning of the pandemic, Majeska and Dougherty—who sing lead on the respective songs they wrote—were experiencing the stresses of entering their late 20s.

Majeska says, “Life comes with highs and lows, and Hard Times & Deadlines captures the fleet of emotions that come with it. From broken hearts and fond memories. To broad horizons and the inevitable end of this human journey.”

"Hard Times & Deadlines is a pretty literal explanation of what I felt life was turning into,” Dougherty says. "The fluffy part of college and party life was beginning to fade away, and it seemed like it was time to put my head down and work. "Once the tunes were drafted, they were brought to the whole band for collaboration. "This is where the tune truly becomes a Boogie song. Everyone adds their touch of creative input, and we're able to polish it up collectively pretty quickly,” explains Dougherty.
