Live at Bear Cave - Rusty Buckle

Friday February 27th

Join us at Bear Cave Brewing for an evening with Rusty Buckle, an Americana duo that celebrates great songs, songwriters, and rich harmonies through eclectic interpretations of the American roots music catalog.

Drawing on the traditions of folk, country, and bluegrass, brothers Steve and Geoff Schley tell musical stories both traditional and contemporary through a mix of guitars, mandolin, lap steel, and layered vocal harmonies. Their sound is heartfelt, timeless, and perfectly suited for a night at the Cave.

A bit of a musician’s collective, Rusty Buckle often welcomes musical friends and family to join them — bringing a fresh and unique approach to every show. You never know exactly what the night will hold, but you can count on great music and great vibes.
