The Caleb Klauder Country Band represents the best of the northwest music scene. Caleb has been touring nationally and internationally for over 15 years and has been involved with some of the region's most iconic bands, such as Calobo and The Foghorn Stringband.
The Caleb Klauder Country Band will be on stage in Winnemucca on Friday, Oct. 17 at the Martin Hotel.
With this iteration of his band, the songmaster is leading with vocals, guitar, and a mandolin. Caleb hosts some of the northwest's best singers and players creating a honky-tonk band that stands out as a totem in the country music scene.
The band performs Caleb's praised original songs right alongside classics from George Jones, The Louvin Brothers and Dolly Parton, all at once sounding timeless, fresh, and alive. There is a drive to his music that makes it unique and captivating.
This is country music made for people who want to have fun and who want to dance, harkening back to the old dance hall days when people of all walks of life came together to simply dance, socialize, and enjoy live music.
Band members include Jesse Emerson on upright bass, Ned Folkerth on drums, Reeb Willms on vocals and guitar, Russ Blake on pedal steel and electric guitar, and Sam Weiss on fiddle, all of whom contribute to the vibrant northwest music scene in various other bands.
Raised on Orcas Island, Wash., and now living in Portland, Ore., Caleb is a true north-westerner, yet his maternal family roots lay in east Tennessee.
His mother, originally from Knoxville, moved her family out west when Caleb was only a year old. These deep family roots contribute to Caleb's music, tapping into old memories to bring you the strong singing and spirited attitude that give his music an edge that is both cutting and sweet.
The "Western Country" album, released a couple of years ago, taps into Klauder's passion for old-timey music.
This event is presented by Great Basin Arts and Entertainment, a local all volunteer grass-roots nonprofit, organized to bring world class performances to our community. Tickets are available at Global Coffee, Nature's Corner and The Martin Hotel or online via the Martin Hotel website: www.themartinhotel.com. For more information visit www.gbae.org.[[In-content Ad]]
