Evenings Upstairs Series presents The Wheelhouse Rousters

The Wheelhouse Rousters draw not only their moniker and musical style from the river and its industry, but also their ebb and flow of energy. From the river bottoms of West Kentucky, to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, and as far away as South Korea, the Rousters distill their experiences into songs and sounds firmly planted in American roots music. The band features Eddie Coffey, Logan Oakley, Nathan Lynn, Josh Coffey, and Jake Siener.

Having performed with various artists upon notable boats, like the Delta Queen, Queen of the Mississippi, America, River Barge Explorer, Belle of Louisville, American Jazz, and the Spirit of Peoria, the members of the Wheelhouse Rousters have also opened for such acts as S. G. Goodman, Pokey LaFarge and the South City Three, Shooter Jennings, The Legendary Shack Shakers, Billy Strings, Josh Williams, Michael Cleveland and Flamekeeper, the Grasscals, Ricky Scaggs and Kentucky Thunder and more. Over the years they have toured performing at numerous festivals along the way including Terrapin Hill Harvest Festival, Lowertown Arts and Music Festival, John Hartford Memorial Festival, Bourbon and Beyond, Telluride Bluegrass Fest, AMERICANAFEST, and Homeplace Pickin’ Party, among others.

All programs are free & open to the public
