BLACK FRIDAY DOUBLE BILL WITH THE WILD SHOATS AND THE CHICKEN TRACTOR
Friday, November 28, 8pm
Gene's Beer Garden, 461 Wilson Ave, Morgantown, WV 26501
THE WILD SHOATS
Emerging from the in-between realms of Morgantown, WV, and Millheim, PA, The Wild Shoats write an alt-folk soundtrack to the strange times they find themselves in. Characterized by the plaintive sound of fiddles and mountain singing, The Wild Shoats call on their collective background of Appalachian old-time fiddling, folk songs, and the high-lonesome to reimagine the songs and sounds of their home. The Wild Shoats released their debut album, Yell In The Shoats, in early 2025. The band is comprised of brothers Gus and Huck Tritsch (Millheim, PA), Mary Linscheid (Morgantown, WV), and Alex Heflin (Morgantown, WV).
THE CHICKEN TRACTOR
The Chicken Tractor is an old time Country and Americana band based in Central Pennsylvania that plays American Rural Music. They draw their roots from old 78 rpm records, rural church music, mountain murder ballads, classic country and honky tonk, string band and old time music. They are: Jimmy James Baughman (upright bass, vocals), Nell Hanssen (guitar, trumpet, vocals), Kai Schafft (vocals, clawhammer banjo, and guitar), Gary Gyekis (drums), and assorted others, as we desire, including frequent appearances by Dr. Dave Mudgett on the pedal steel and electric guitar.
