Deadheads in St. Louis know Jake’s Leg. The band has been providing music for the scene for 49 years, playing thousands of shows to generations of like-minded fans who just want to keep on dancing. Maybe you’ve heard them in some dumpy little bar like the old Twenty North or at Busch Stadium: they’ve played’em all and continue to do so regularly. And the band keeps growing.

10-year or longer stints with Jake’s Leg, which is a remarkably

It’s not The Grateful Dead and it’s not supposed to be. While they draw mainly on the repertoire of America’s favorite psychedelic blues-rock jug band, Jake’s Leg naturally bring their own sensibilities to each part. The introspective singer-songwriter, the jazz stylings of an improvising soloist, rock-solid dance grooves, mind-bending jams: all are in play at their shows. The music can take you anywhere you want to go. And with their long-term unity and very capable musicianship, Jake’s Leg makes it a great-sounding trip.

Funky Butt Brass Band
2025-06-20 20:00 - 23:00 | Atomic, 4140 Manchester Ave, St. Louis, MO, 62110, United States
St. Louis is famous for its rich musical legacy, one steeped in jazz, blues, soul, funk, gospel, hip-hop, and rock n roll. And representing the best of all of those traditions is St. Louis most popular band: the sensational Funky Butt Brass Band.
Since coming together in 2008, the Funky Butt Brass Band have put on over 100 thrill-ride live shows every year that have expanded the limits of brass-band jambitiousness, defined by horn-heated instrumental lightning, polyrhythmic boogie-down sonics, dynamic vocals, crowd-tickling covers, and, true to their name, tuchus-taxing fun.
The Funky Butt horns are trumpeter Adam Hucke, the master of multiphonics; trombonist Aaron Chandler, the sultan of slide; sousaphones Cody Henry, the baron of the bottom; and saxophonist Charlie Cerpa, the emperor of embouchure. Together, these brass kickers, master soloists all, turn a Funky Butt show into a parade of pipes, a volley of valves, a battalion of bells.
Rollin Ron Sikes, the prince of the pocket, the master of the march, providing full drumkit wallop behind the band, and on guitar, Jim Peters, the, champion of chank, the hammering-on, pulling-off, picking phenom with the seal-smooth movement around the strings and the guitar tone that rings like the bells of St. Louis Cathedral.
There simply is no band like the Funky Butt Brass Band. They dont just play the party; they are the party. So what will the next Funky Butt adventure be like? One things for sure: It will be a danceathon dive into the musical melting pot of your dreams. And what will that Funky Butt odyssey do for your funky butt? It will free you up to get down.
Lets get Funky.

Hard Bop Messengers Interpret the Grateful Dead Friday, May 23 at the Old Rock House
2025-05-23 20:00 - 22:30 | MO
The Hard Bop Messengers is a proven force in the St Louis Jazz scene. Regularly sold-out shows showcasing their original compositions, as well as thematic deep-dives exploring other genres, have galvanized their unique brand. Their Jazz Interpretations of Grateful Dead shows are musical cross-pollinations, bringing new listeners to Jazz, while delivering Grateful Dead to a new audience in a unique format. “Presenting the music in this piano-based sextet format showcases the compositions,” says John Covelli, arranger and leader of the band. “While there is no guitar-jamming Jerry Garcia character, it’s been widely appealing to Grateful Dead fans, as well as jazz listeners who are introduced to a new blended style of music.” Mission accomplished.
The sextet’s saxophonist Austin Cebulski, is currently finishing his Doctorate in Jazz from Univ. of Northern Colorado while teaching at Univ. of Wisconsin. His pivotal high-school-aged discovery of the Dead established his appreciation of Americana as well as ensemble interaction and improvisation. “Performing this music with the Hard Bop Messengers has reignited my appreciation for the deep level of musical communion that the Dead achieved as an ensemble.” Patrick McLelland (piano) joined Gent Treadley, Vince Welnick’s post-Grateful Dead group, in 2006 and played shows with Charles Neville & Garth Hudson, before settling into a residency at 55 Bar in Greenwich Village. “Patrick is our quarterback,” says Covelli. “He’s an encyclopedia of Grateful Dead live performances and keeps me honest on our approach.” Upright bassist Chris Meschede and drummer Drew Weiss were familiar with the Grateful Dead music; however, they admit to a previous lack of understanding of the culture. “It has been fun discovering what this music is about and why so many people dig it, while putting a jazz spin on it,” says Weiss. Meschede says that his new level of appreciation came with this most recent live performance captured in this album.
“The group on stage and the audience are all part of the same collaboration.” “Jazz Interpretations of Grateful Dead” was co-created by Covelli and vocalist Matt Krieg. “For me, there’s a level of depth to the musicality and the songwriting that I never appreciated as a casual listener or fan,” Krieg says. In his vocal style you will hear a natural, uncontrived passion. The 13 songs from this live show at Old Rock House in St Louis capture the raw energy of a live Jazz performance in combination with a Grateful Dead tribute experience. Early in the 1st set, “New Minglewood Blues” shakes the place loose, followed by a NOLA-esque “They Love Each Other”. Their interpretations of “Me And My Uncle” and “Just A Little Light” bring the swing, while “Ripple” settles into the crowd, singing along at the end. “Althea” is a 2nd-set standout in how it underlines the band’s approach of presenting the music uniquely. In the first of two encores, “New Speedway Boogie” Krieg cajoles the crowd into agreement that “one way or another, this darkness has got to give”.
Special Ticket Offer: Buy four or more advance tickets and receive a free download of an 8-sampler of the new Hard Bip album, which will be released on June 20th.

Henhouse Prowlers @ The Atomic
2025-03-01 20:00 - 23:00 | Atomic, 4140 Manchester Ave, St. Louis, MO, 62110, United States
Henhouse Prowlers:
Founded two decades ago with the simple desire to play original and powerful bluegrass, this Chicago-bred quartet now finds themselves at the intersection of performance, diplomacy, and education.
Onstage, the group’s enthralling performances give audiences a sense of how much they love what they do. On record – including their latest offering, 2023’s Lead and Iron, released via Dark Shadow Recording – the band explores their collective life experiences through songwriting and intricate instrumentation. While bluegrass is the undeniable foundation of the Prowlers’ music, the band bends and squeezes the traditional form into a keenly developed sound all their own.
Working with the U.S. State Department and under their own nonprofit, Bluegrass Ambassadors, the Prowlers have toured over 25 countries across the globe. The group’s experiences with people and musicians across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East have shaped the band’s worldview and broadened the group’s direction towards bridging cultural gaps with music, educational programs, and workshops. Using traditional American music as a foundation, connecting folk music, customs, and history the world over, the Prowlers incorporate international elements into their already robust repertoire of unique traditional American music.
Whether playing live or presenting seminars, wherever they are, the Henhouse Prowlers find and spread the commonality we share as human beings through the universal language of music.
