Bio/press linksBio:Carrie Nation & the Speakeasy is a high energy, acoustic brass n grass 5-piece from Wichita, KS. The band, whose sound has been described as a stagecoach in overdrive, has been bringing their eclectic blend of punk, bluegrass, and Dixieland to packed bars, basements, and festivals across the US since their inception in the spring of 2007. CNS has played 200+ shows each year for the past 3 years in 40 states, and has built a following with their energetic live show and ability to fit on the bill with acts ranging from bluegrass to rockabilly; punk to ska. Breakneck mandolin solos melt into blaring trombone and trumpet lines, while the standup bass and feed bucket trap set churn out driving rhythms that carry the force of a Kansas freight train. Always providing a high energy, drink'em down atmosphere to any place they play, CNS has proven a dedication to their live shows with a solid understanding of what entertainment really means.
