Roots, Rock & Deep Blues Festival presents: Black-eyed Snakes with guests Wain McFarlane's Dreadlock Cowboy, & Placaters at Hook and Ladder Theater

“Look to a place where Low, The Fall, and Willie Dixon all have something to say to one another. Then dance fool.” That’s how Spin Magazine’s Andrew Beaujon rolled up the Black-eyed Snakes, a genre-bending electric blues band from Duluth, MN fronted by LOW’s and Retribution Gospel Choir’s Alan Sparhawk. Cascading, entrancing beats push thick, raunchy, sometimes-psychedelic guitars into the soul like a lost love or a knife in the back. “The jagged-toothed edge of the guitar alone could saw through every fiber of your emotional restraint,” ~ Melissa Maerz

The Original Dreadlock Cowboy. Wain is a seasoned musician and leader of Ipso Facto, a Minneapolis based Reggae- Punk band. The true bender of all genres, that takes from classic rock, country, classic pop and gathers a new musical perspective with his incredible unconventional orchestration. The Cowboy features his music with top musicians around the world. Listen and enjoy this ever evolving experience of the legend, Wain McFarlane : Dreadlock Cowboy.
