Black River Revue

Hardworking bluegrass and Americana quartet Black River Revue just might be the region’s ultimate summer festival band. The sound is as sweet and warm as a July canoe paddle on Bear Head Lake and many shows are staged outdoors after the mercury hits 80. In 2023, the group scored billings at the Great Northern Squash Fest outside Superior, Boats and Bluegrass in Winona, Fresh Hop Fest in Two Harbors, and Klocktoberfest in Grand Rapids. Black River Revue is Adam Stariha on guitar and harmonica, lan Kvale on bass, Nate Hynum on mandolin and Tim Leutgeb on banjo.
