Gravel Road Touring Showcase featuring Chastity Brown, Actual Wolf and Barbara Jean
Gravel Road Touring, a Minneapolis booking collective, presents a night of indie-roots music featuring rising acts Chastity Brown, Actual Wolf, and Barbara Jean. What began as an in-house booking agency for Minneapolis-based roots act The Pines in 2007 has evolved into a co-operative, artist-run touring agency known for sharing high caliber music with fans around the country. The folks at Gravel Road believe there is no substitute for live music. It is a personal and social experience that is vital to building community in this digital age. This inaugural event will showcase the force of Minneapolis’ Americana roots acts currently featured on the Gravel Road roster.
