Adam Greuel\, of the high-energy string band Horseshoes & Hand Grenades\, and Sarah Vos\, of the folk-inspired Dead Horses\, draw from broad musical influences ranging from Leonard Cohen to Fleetwood Mac to Gillian Welch & David Rawlings to bring you a show that will be mostly focused on original material. The duo’s chemistry as musical partners and dear friends is apparent as their music features tight harmonies\, introspective lyricism\, and soaring melodies. \nTheir first album Rucksack Revolution was recorded at the famed Pachyderm Studios in Cannon Falls\, MN and released in 2022. The record gained the attention of fans and promoters alike and the duo soon began appearing at festivals and small theaters throughout the Midwest. The live show typically features original songs from that first album\, some select originals from the Horseshoes & Hand Grenades and Dead Horses repertoires\, and a number of cover songs by artists that the pair have been deeply inspired by. \nIn 2026\, Sarah and Adam recorded their sophomore effort\, Polish Flats and Watercress\, and the album is officially released on Friday\, August 21. Featuring 10 original songs\, the duo put the focus on the simplicity and beauty of “the song” and created a relatively stripped down album in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes. The write up that’s included in the physical copy of the album helps to paint the picture of the process: \nWhen you’re a youngster\, you occasionally hear from the older and wiser about the way time seems to speed up with age. You don’t really comprehend that phenomenon until it hits you personally right square in the feels. The seasons almost bounce from one to another\, your dog seems to get older quicker than you expected\, and you find yourself flustered from not having quite enough hours in the day. Despite a yearning to make this album together\, life seemed to keep getting in the way. Our friendship of over 15 years has developed into one that continually finds new growth among the key tenants of love\, understanding\, and flexibility. So we put our hearts and heads together and mused on ways to make it happen\, ultimately coming to the conclusion that we should take a stab at recording in our homes. Sarah recorded at her place in Milwaukee\, a beautiful nearly 100 year old “Polish Flat”. That style of home was popularized by Polish immigrants in the late 19th century and it’s the kind of place where you wish you could talk to the walls. Adam recorded in his cabin home\, affectionately titled “Gnarnia”\, in the hill country of Wisconsin\, nestled between two watercress-riddled spring creeks. That water starts at the springs by the cabin and rolls its way into the Kickapoo\, then the Wisconsin\, and finally the Mighty Mississippi\, all the way through the American expanse to New Orleans. So in the same way that there’s a couple dear friends coming together to make this album\, perhaps there’s also a couple of spaces doing the same. And then there’s you! We hope that you might take these songs into your space and that they become part of you too. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n The only authorized source for online ticket sales is thrasheroperahouse.com – any other website\, secondary or tertiary ticket agency\, or ticket broker is not a verified ticketing agent.

The Minnesota-born guitarist\, songwriter\, and interpreter of traditional music has released 19 albums over two decades and has been known to perform up to 275 shows a year. Parr is a folk troubadour in the truest sense: taking to the road between shows\, writing and rewriting songs as he plays\, fueled by a belief that music is eternal and cannot be claimed or adequately explained. The bluesman poet pulls closely from the sights and sounds around him\, his lyrical craftsmanship built by his influences. The sounds from his working-class upbringing—including Folkways legends such as Lead Belly and Woody Guthrie—imbue Parr’s music with stylistic echoes of blues and folk icons of decades past. Parr sees himself merely as a continuer of a folk tradition: “I feel like I stand on a lot of big shoulders\,” he said in an interview. “I hope that I’ve brought a little bit of myself to the music.”With a discography simultaneously transcendental in nature and grounded in roots music\, Charlie Parr is the humble master of the 21st century folk tradition. Parr started recording in Duluth in 2002\, where he lives today. Life in the port town on Lake Superior has a way of bleeding into his work the same way his childhood in Austin\, Minnesota does. Parr self-released his debut album\, Criminals and Sinners\, and did the same for his sophomore album 1922 (2002). With growing popularity abroad\, Parr signed with Red House Records in 2015\, where he recorded break-out albums Stumpjumper (2015) and Dog (2017). Parr’s music has an overwhelming sense of being present and mindful\, and his sound is timeless.Parr’s mastery of his craft is only more apparent when contextualized within the history of folk tradition of which Parr has dedicated his practice The land and lives around and intersecting with Parr have always influenced him\, from the hills and valleys of Hollandale\, Minnesota to the Depression-era stories from his father. Parr strives to listen to everything: “I don’t see that I’d ever be capable of creating anything if it weren’t for these inspirations and influences\, books and music as well as the weather and random interactions with strangers and animals. So\, the well never runs dry as long as my eyes and ears are open\,” Parr said in a 2020 interview. Before he was even 10 years old Parr was rummaging through his father’s record collection—sometimes drawing dinosaurs on the vinyl sleeves—and listening to country\, folk\, and blues legends\, many of whom are staples in the Folkways catalog. When Parr sings and plays his resonator or 12-string\, you can hear influences like Mance Lipscomb\, Charley Patton\, Spinder John Koerner\, Rev. Gary Davis\, and Dock Boggs. This is especially true in his playing\, when\, after a diagnosis of focal dystonia\, Parr turned to greats like Davis\, Doc Watson\, and Booker White for two-finger picking inspiration. Gifted a 1965 Gibson B-45 12-string by his father\, Parr has never had a formal lesson and learned by to listening records and watching musicians he admired.Parr’s first album with Smithsonian Folkways\, Last of Better Days Head (2021)\, foregrounded his lyrical craftsmanship and sophisticated bluesman confidence\, with spare production highlighting Parr’s mastery of guitar and elevating his poetry. Last of Better Days Ahead is a portrait of how Parr saw the world in that moment\, reflecting on time and memories that have past while holding an enduring desire to be present. In his 2024 release\, Little Sun\, Parr weaves together stories celebrating music\, community\, and communing with nature. Putting forth an ambitious and raw album that exemplifies the best of Parr’s sound: a blend of the blues and folk traditions he continues to carry with him and the steadfast originality of a poet. \n \n \n \n \n \n The only authorized source for online ticket sales is thrasheroperahouse.com – any other website\, secondary or tertiary ticket agency\, or ticket broker is not a verified ticketing agent.
