Please join us in welcoming the Way Down Wanderers to the stage of the newly restored Scottish Rite Theatre!

Often referred to by fans as one of the hardest-working, hardest-touring bands on the circuit today, this 5-piece Illinois-based act not only proves that classification with their jam-packed tour schedule but also on stage every night, with youthful exuberance and a lively stage show, as reliable as it is infectious.

High energy percussion, mandolin, guitar, bass, banjo, and fiddle weave seamlessly together to create an experience for fans that has sold out shows across the UK and the United States.

Critics and tastemakers alike have awarded the young artists an impressive number of accolades ranging from official showcases at AmericanaFest (2018) and International Bluegrass Music Association (2016) to Whitstable UK Session of the Year (2017), a BBC Scotland Session (2017) as well as Finalist, International Songwriting Competition (2015 & 2016), Chicago's Best Emerging Artist, Deli Magazine (2014) and Songpickr's Best Songs Spotify Playlist (2016) among others.

The young men are no strangers to the festival circuit either, having played major National and Regional Festivals such as Merlefest, Summer Camp, Red Wing Roots Music Festival, and Saskatchewan Jazz Fest all across the United States, Canada, and the UK. The band has also graced the stage of coveted venues such as Bluegrass Underground (TN), The Fox Theater (CO), Park West (IL), The Vogue (IN), The Station Inn (TN), The Gramercy Theater (NYC), and countless others.

You don't want to miss this high-energy evening of live music!
