ABOUT WAY DOWN WANDERERS: Join us for a night on the Peoria Riverfront with local favorites The Way Down Wanderers! The Way Down Wanderers, an Alternative Americana band hailing from Peoria, Illinois, have carved a niche in the music scene with their unique blend of bluegrass, folk, and roots music. Formed in 2014 by founder Austin Thompson. The band quickly garnered attention for their high-energy performances and tight harmonies. The group's lineup also includes John Merikoski on drums, Sam Peters on bass, Sammy Hinrichsen on guitar, and Travis Kowalsky on banjo, fiddle, and mandolin.
ABOUT THEM COULEE BOYS: With four full-length albums and an EP behind them, including 2019's 'Die Happy' (produced by Trampled By Turtles' Dave Simonett on Lo-Hi Records) and 2021's 'Namesake' (produced by Grammy winner Brian Joseph), the band has garnered international attention and earned press in American Songwriter, Ditty TV, Folk Alley, and The Bluegrass Situation, as well as tours with Trampled By Turtles and a spot on the songwriter's Cayamo Cruise. 2025 marks the release of their 5th album 'No Fun in the Chrysalis'.
