St. Louis, Missouri’s The Goldenrods can be best described as “Country and Midwestern”. They perform charming original material as well as regional classics from across middle America. They play two steps, waltzes and polkas; songs both happy and sad, silly and serious, often sung in harmony.

The Goldenrods are fronted by Ryan Koenig (ex Pokey LaFarge) singing and playing fiddle, octave mandolin, plectrum banjo and guitar. The band is completed with Jess Adkins (So Grand Polka Band) singing and playing accordion and guitar, as well as Kellie Everett (The Hooten Hallers) singing and playing upright bass.

“You Keep Driving Me Home” reflects on the hope, despair and partnership found in growing older. With three guitars and four vocalists, The Late Shifters weave guitar and vocal melody, soaring leads and danceable rhythms with their life experiences to reflect on the good, the hard and the lighthearted moments that are accumulated over the years.
