Come enjoy live music in one of Wisconsin’s true gems, with great food, drinks, train-track charm, river views, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes the Trempealeau Hotel such a special place.
Bring your friends, grab a bite, settle in, and spend the evening with us.

Born along the banks of the mighty Mississippi River, High & Rising brings a fresh, groove-forward sound to the Bluegrass, Folk, and Americana scene. Describing their style as “Groovy Grass,” the band blends thoughtful songwriting, strong musicianship, and an easygoing energy that feels both rootsy and original.
Most often performing as a quartet, High & Rising features Laura Farley on upright bass and vocals, Jym Farley on acoustic guitar, Ben Rohde on percussion, and Harrison Olk on banjo. Together, they create a unique sound that stretches beyond traditional bluegrass while staying grounded in the warmth, storytelling, and spirit of acoustic music.
With memorable songs, engaging live performances, and a growing presence in the Upper Midwest music scene, High & Rising continues to connect with audiences through feel-good grooves, heartfelt lyrics, and a sound all their own.
Opening the night is Beat Bath.
Ben Rohde brings his lifelong passion for rhythm and music to the world of sound and energy healing, specializing in the profound vibrations of gongs. As an experienced percussionist and drummer, he intuitively guides others toward deep relaxation and stress relief through immersive sound experiences.
Ben plays two gongs, Tibetan singing bowls, flute and chimes. It’s a full-on sound bath setup. Laura Farley plays crystal singing bowls. It will set a real chill and calming pre-show vibe.
