Brian Wicklund and Mike Cramer: ​Bluegrass Duo!

Returning to Festival Theatre, it’s the talented and fun bluegrass songwriting team of Brian Wicklund and Mike Cramer! We can’t wait to have these masterful instrumentalists and singers bring their warm, energetic talent into our space!

“Brian is widely regarded as among the top bluegrass fiddle performers and teachers in the country. As bandleader of the Minnesota-based Barley Jacks, he also showcases his formidable talents as mandolin player and songwriter. His song craft has a quality of timelessness that draws from the roots music he has spent his life playing.

Mike Cramer started his performing career playing guitar on Mississippi paddle boats as a teenager. With a degree in jazz performance and numerous flatpick guitar championships under his belt, he is among the most versatile guitarists in the midwest.

Every show is different. Every song unique. Come and watch them play.”
