•• JOE STAMM BAND ••
Joe Stamm has a way of making seemingly minor moments feel as expansive and full as the Illinois River that runs through his central Illinois homeland. As Joe continues building a life in that same river valley, new stories continue revealing themselves to him. In the sound of the crickets on a summer night. In the smell of bonfire smoke on a mild winter day. In the taste of a cold garage beer.
After more than a decade of writing, performing, and touring, Stamm has honed his storytelling ability to such fine detail, you’d think he was there when you were getting up to no good in your hometown. Or at your dinner table when you got the bad news. Or on your porch when you got the good news. His salt-of-the-earth writing style, coupled with a voice that urges you to feel deeply…well, that’s what honest music is all about.
“With uncommonly great songwriting, and a serious rock n’ roll attitude…Joe Stamm Band casts a wide net of appeal that captures most anyone with any sense of taste who falls within earshot.” - Trigger Coroneos for SavingCountryMusic.com
Expect a unique mix of rootsy rock and rugged country from all of Joe Stamm Band’s work — a sound they’ve coined Black Dirt Country Rock. This genre-bending sound flexes even further in the band’s newest full-length album Little Crosses. Produced by Al Torrence, a member of Charles Wesley Godwin’s right-hand band The Allegheny High, Little Crosses brings together the best parts of Midwest and Appalachian music.
Josh Meloy says Little Crosses is “like watching a movie.” Read Connolly, of Zach Bryan’s touring retinue, simply states, “This is American music.”
With gold-record know-how, Torrence “applaud[s] JSB endlessly for taking risks, and letting the songs steer them in the direction where the music takes them.”
But no matter what artistic turn they take, JSB has stayed true to what their dedicated fans have come to love from them: distinct imagery, high energy, big builds, and a voice that cuts straight through.
Joe Stamm Band is rounded out by longtime members, Bruce Moser on bass, Dave Glover on guitar (and occasional keys), and Tim Kramp on drums, all born, raised and still residing in central Illinois (except for most of the time…when they’re in a Ford Transit van).
•• DUKE OURSLER ••
Duke Oursler is a country musician singer/songwriter from Macomb, Illinois. He was born the son of an oil pumper on the Great Plains of Southwest, Kansas. Duke grew up in the windswept prairies of Finney County hunting pheasants, prairie chickens, rattlesnakes, and jackrabbits along the dry bottom of the Arkansas river.
His thoughtful, honest and direct lyrics speak to the experiences, virtue and aspirations of a midwestern life. His unique brand of American country music speaks to the hard working blue-collar life and often a critiques the notion of the “American Dream” by contrasting the economic and cultural tropes against unifying and spiritual stories of love, loss and family found on in rural America.
With honesty, authenticity and whit, Duke and his band The American Dream deliver an energetic live performance belting stories of the America’s Heartland. Their live performance is professional, seasoned and a thoughtful mix of his original country rock music as well as a few select covers. Duke has been writing and playing his original music for the past two decades and has shared the stage with many regional and national acts such as Aaron Watson, Kin Faux, Joe Stamm, Miles Nielsen and The Rusted Hearts, Chicago Farmer, Them Coulee Boys, Blane Howard and others.
