6/7 Black Jake & The Carnies
Dubbed "The Original Kings of Crabgrass," the band plays a unique style of original bluegrass sprinkled with a little spaghetti western, punk, and Vaudeville that people love to dance and get wild to. Add in the band's essential crowd interaction activities and various hilarious carnival gimmicks and you have a surefire recipe for fun! Because of this, the group has been accused of being a "party band" because people can't help joining in the fun and dancing to the high energy show.
The Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti-based band has hours of original music to play. Since their founding in 2002, Black Jake & the Carnies have played such festivals as Wheatland Music Festival, Winter Wheat, Blissfest, Beaver Island Music Festival, Appalachian Uprising, Muddy Roots Music Festival, Hiawatha Traditional Music Festival, Thunder Bay Folk Festival, Detroit Metro Times Arts Beats & Eats, Theater Bizarre Detroit, Grand Marais Music Festival, Empire Hops Festival, Ann Arbor Top of the Park, Ypsilanti Heritage Festival, Detroit River Days, Detroit Winter Blast, Metro Times Blowout, Buttermilk Jamboree, Harbor Beach Maritime Festival, Traverse City Winter Microbrew and Music Festival, West Park Winter Social, Michigan Brewer’s Guild Summer Beer Fest, Dunesville, Buttermilk Jamboree, Tamarack Festival, and many more.
