bluegrass

The Driftless Revelers is an American Americana, bluegrass, and old-time roots trio based in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, formed in 2021 by guitarist/vocalist Matt Sayles (founder of Philville Records), banjoist Ben Nelson, and bassist Jerod Kaszynski. Named the WAMI Bluegrass/Americana Band of the Year, the group blends vintage 1920s hillbilly blues, old-time fiddle traditions, and theatrical freak-folk humor on albums including American Fork Standards (2022) and Live at the Slowpoke Lounge & Cabaret (2024).
