Them Coulee Boys mark their annual return to The Hotel on the heels of the release of their 5th album “No Fun in the Chrysalis”. Recorded in Eau Claire with Grammy winner Brian Joseph, new singles “I Am Not Sad” and “Up Close” are receiving critical praise, and build on the growing repertoire of “hits” to watch for at the Boys’ live shows. With an expanding catalogue expect a “no repeats” two nights of fun at one of the spots where their story begins. They will be joined by La Crosse’s Knee-High July on Friday night and Winona’s Texas Toast on Saturday night.
SATURDAY THEME: X-MAS
About Texas Toast
The five dudes from Winona formed at the hight of the pandemic. As there were few chances to play in front of live audiences, they used this masked period to hone their skills and fine-tune their sound. Once they could, Toast immediatly hit all their favorite venues, and began recording a set of highly entertaining singles. Described as ‘psychadelic’ by local and not-so-local pundits, Texas Toast is sure to set the scene for their friends and fellow Blue-Grassers TCB.
