Them Coulee Boys - Eau Claire, WI
April 18th 2024 - Indianapolis
Soren Staff and Beau Janke - co-founders of folk/rock/Americana outfit Them Coulee Boys - met as camp counselors in northern Wisconsin in 2011. Their weekend workshopping of Avett Brothers and classic country tunes led to original songs and adding Soren’s brother Jens on mandolin. As the years grew, the band turned into a more rollicking outfit, adding Neil Krause on electric bass and Stas Hable on drums. The band’s name is a nod to the glacial melt-carved river valleys they call home, known by early French fur trappers as coulees. Known for wild swings of emotion during sets, it is not unusual to see fans in tears and minutes later dancing with abandon. The honesty and ability to talk and sing about the feelings and emotions that shape them has endeared them to a growing group of fans and friends.
“Them Coulee Boys have played our festival and our concert series and we just can’t get enough. Their blend of creative musical arrangements with soul stirring lyrics is unmatched! Dancing, Laughing and Crying are all part of a great set with Them Coulee Boys.”
