Their current five-piece lineup adds original drummer Craig Swafford, guitarist Chad Wiggins, keyboardist/vocalist Lynn Batalden, and bassist Anthony Del Fiacco, pushing the band into a wider, more expansive psych-rock sound. With releases like Out Behind the Void, Spells of Broken Worlds, and In the Resistance, Tall Grass Captains bring melodic rock, lyrical depth, and trippy guitar-driven energy to the stage.

Their sound mixes jangly indie rock, Americana, power pop, and barroom rock-and-roll, with songs that feel catchy, scrappy, and instantly familiar. Their Garden Variety EP leans into bright melodies, vocal harmonies, and guitar-driven hooks, while earlier releases like Garbled Transmissions from a Plague Year show the band’s more homegrown, pandemic-era songwriting side. Falling Stars brings a melodic, harmony-rich set made for fans of smart songs, good hooks, and unpretentious Chicago rock.

Their sound pulls from the Stones, The Who, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, Trouser Press-era rock nerd energy, and classic barroom guitar music, all packed into a loud, hooky, no-frills live set. With releases like Cut Me In' in it's place - available on Soundcloud The Dry Look brings smart power-pop grit, punchy songs, and the kind of raw club energy that fits perfectly in a room like Montrose.
