Bio
Jake and Kris met in the Twin Cities while playing for the
outlaw country band The Reverb Country Dusters. After Kris
moved to Madison, he was no longer able to play with the
group, but he and Jake continued to get together to play and
write original Americana music. Though both approach song
writing differently, the collaborations between the two result
in a blend of American roots music that defies musical genres
and breaks the mold of the standard singer/songwriter formula.
Playing acoustic instruments as well as electric bass and
piano allows the duo to draw on several different influences
and provide a full bodied sound in the live setting. Ranging
from folk/country/bluegrass to old timey jazz and American
standards, American Feedbag are able to nourish the masses
hungry for fresh original music while providing melodies and
lyrics adding to the great American song book.
American Feedbag have played a variety of venues throughout
Minnesota and Wisconsin and plan to continue spreading their
music to further regions of the country.
