Pop Wagner & Corpse Reviver

Renaissance folkie Pop Wagner’s cowboy anthems crackle with the warmth of a prairie campfire and his old time fiddle tunes set toes a-tappin’. Mikkel Beckmen, Adam Kiesling and Jillian Rae (Corpse Reviver) play music found on Harry Smith’s Anthology of American Folk Music with authentic drive and nuance. This is a show you’ll want to see!

For over 50 years Pop Wagner has traveled the globe performing at clubs, concerts, festivals, museums, libraries, schools, ranches, stockmen's gatherings, rodeos, and farm co-op meetings. He is a top-notch fiddler, singer, songwriter, storyteller, square dance caller, humorist, and trick roper. Corpse Reviver (who takes their name from a mid 19th century "hair of the dog" cocktail from New Orleans) likes to play the songs of old, but strives to put their own stamp on the music while maintaining respect for the original artists. They came together in the fall of 2010 to start a monthly Sunday afternoon residency at the 331 Club (in NE Minneapolis) and have been performing their own brand of the Anthology of American Folk Music together ever since. Adam Kiesling (banjo, guitar, all things picked & strummed, vocals), Mikkel Beckmen (washboard, stomp, assorted kitchen gadgets), & Jillian Rae (fiddle, vocals)
