   About A Night in the Box

Take a banjo, a fiddle, the guitar, drums and some damn fine hats, and you've got the Minneapolis-based A Night in the Box. The image is easily described, but it is slightly more difficult to characterize their sound.

Started in 2006 by three high school friends, Alex Dalton (drums, vocals), Clayton Hagen (lead vocals, guitar) and Travis Hetman (banjo, vocals, guitar, harmonica), A Night in the Box released their debut album "The Hustle, The Prayer, The Thief" in 2006 on Afternoon Records. Their Americana-infused soul and bluegrass with the intensity of hardcore punk aesthetic has since won over fans and critics worldwide.

Their sophomore effort "Write a Letter" is rounded out with fourth member Kailyn Spencer (violin), adding her own diverse musical background to the already complex melting pot of creative influences that Box fans love. Adding a mixture of accessible pop hooks with their quintessential gritty sound will reach out to tried and true fans and new fans alike.

Hello!!

If you're around on Thursday, December 10th, we are playing a show at Mario's Keller Bar. I don't know if you've been there, but it's a very cool place. It's a comfortable space, the room sounds great and they have a stellar beer selection.

Also, we will be playing ALL NIGHT! We'll play some funky, bluesy, and soulful music. We'll project live video onto a 9 ft screen. We'll play some older material that hasn't been heard in awhile, as well as some brand new songs that've never been heard. All bets are off!! We'd love it if you'd come down and listen/party with us!

Here are the details:




Hope to see ya there!!!

Peace,
Elliot

Just to let you know, LOUDRAY is still holding church on Thursdays.

We've been holding it down there for 10 months and as our 1 year anniversary of this residency approaches we are stepping up the revival.  For the past 8 months we've been joined by some of the finest musicians in town (Martin Devaney, Ric Lee, Glenn Hanson, Dave Babb, Jake Hyer, Kurt Froelich, Meg Ashling, Zach Gusa, Eric Larson, Jen Markey, Mother Banjo, Eliza Blue, Pete Bauer, just to name a few) but for the next 2 months, it's just going to be the classic LOUDRAY duo of Jon Stowell and Colin Anderson.  We will be digging deep into the back catalog of songs and bringing some new light through these old windows.

We have been doing these shows in the classic "unamplified" style as of late and look to continue that trend.

So, stop in for some fellowship and true acoustic music, and wash away the week with sweet, redeeming booze.

$2.75 select taps from 5-7pm!!!  Plenty of parking!!

Come on, isn't it time to slum it at the Dub!!
