Boiled In Lead play a special trio performance at the Hotel, bringing a more relaxed version of their signature sound blending Irish, American and world music traditions with a modern twist.
“…the prime purveyor of a style of Celtic music infused with punk-rock attitude, developing over the years with a hard-driving swirl that combined Irish folk with heavy rock and elements of styles from all over the world. …one of the best bands Minnesota’s ever produced. …even without amplification, BoiledIn Lead can summon up furious punk-folk energy.” - The Onion A&E
Todd Menton (vocals, guitar, mandolin, bodhran, whistle) joined BiL soon after their 1st LP, and was the lead singer on the classic albums From the Ladle to the Grave and Orb. After a hiatus, he rejoined the band in 2005. He’s currently an instructor at the Center For Irish Music in St. Paul.
Drew Miller (bass guitar) founded the band in 1983. He anchors the low end with a hint of distortion, and sometimes plays solid-body dulcimer. Recently he formed Kinda Fonda Wanda, a high-energy roots-rockabilly outfit inspired by Wanda Jackson. He has been profiled in Bass Player Magazine. and runs a record store in White Bear Lake Minnesota.
Haley Olson‘s (fiddle, vocals) love of traditional music has led her to learn an ever-increasing range of musical styles. She has performed on Lake Superior, in the Smokey Mountains, and other places nationally and internationally.
We are really excited to host them here for their first time in Trempealeau. BIL has been performing for 40 years. So, if you haven't already seen them, it would be a good time to start. And if you have already experienced them, you know you better find your way here. Call 608 534 6898 for rooms. We're asking for a $6 minimum contribution per adult listener. Peace!
