Carrie Nation & the Speakeasy is a high-energy,
acoustic brass 'n' grass outfit based out of Wichita,
KS. The band, whose sound has been described
as a stagecoach in overdrive, has brought their
eclectic blend of punk, bluegrass, dixieland, and
circus tunes to packed bars, basements, and
festivals across the United States since 2007.
With tunes that cover just about everything from drinkin' to dyin' to livin' and lyin', CNS can fill the dance floor with their blazing bluegrass and circus tunes as quickly as they can provoke existential introspection with dark, slinky tunes reminiscent of a New Orleans funeral march. Blaring trombones melt into break-neck banjo solos, while the "junkyard" trap set and stand-up bass churn out hard-driving rhythms that carry the force of a Kansas freight train.
This unique blend of styles combined with the high energy maintained on stage, allows CNS to fit perfectly into any lineup including folk, bluegrass, punk, metal, ska, or jam. Always providing an energetic and drink 'em down atmosphere to any place they play, Carrie Nation & the Speakeasy has proven a dedication to their live shows with a solid understanding of what entertainment really means.
