80 Proof Alice, Live at TrudyFest 5

Hailing from Hays, Kansas, 80 Proof Alice is a high-energy trio that artfully fuses various musical influences to create their unique bluegrass sound. They have been making waves across the state, appearing on numerous Midwest festival lineups. The group features Tyson Lesage, whose dynamic flatpicking brings a spirited energy to their performances, and the 2022 Kansas State Banjo Champion, Jason Riegel, whose melodic banjo riffs add depth and texture to their music. Completing the ensemble is Aimee Riegel, whose steady bass lines provide a solid foundation, enriched by her soulful vocals and harmonious melodies that resonate with emotion.


In March 2024, the trio busted onto the scene with the release of their debut self-titled EP, showcasing their exceptional talent and musical versatility. They followed this with a full live album in December 2024, capturing the raw energy of their performances. Looking ahead, 80 Proof Alice has exciting plans to launch a full studio album in 2025, promising even more captivating tunes for their growing fanbase.
