Backyard Dischord

Happy Birthday to Dr Dennis Baker!

Chris, Bobby, Dennis, and guest drummer Pete Engelhart, The Unknown Suspects, playing original Americana music for a nice cause with some great bands. BD will be back in April.

Booking is open for a limited amount of dates this winter and next summer, including private parties and Unknown Suspects.

Chris, Den, and I are going to the open mike at Pyramid tonight at 6:00. Always a fun time and great pizza. Come on out!

What a nice night. Our third time at Two Rivers and it was a blast!

Our schedule pretty much ended with a fun private gig on the 29th. Dave is finishing up with his other bands. Dennis has been very busy with his new grandson. Bobby and Chris have been playing acoustic gigs, filling in here and there. The Unknown Suspects play Two Rivers Bluegrass Festival on the 19th, and then who knows. We generally take football season off, practice new songs during the winter, and come back in the spring. We’ll see how it goes! We will probably do a private party here and there if anyone has a need. Thank you to all that support live music, and in our case original music. Bobby ( Mugsy)

Well yeah. Three years in a row. We do have fun with our Illinois cousins!

This year at Two Rivers Bluegrass Festival
12314 Harrison Rd, Durand, IL 61024
Friday, Sept 19th -Unknown Suspects, 6:00pm - 6:40pm

We welcome back a crowd favorite! They did a great job last year and we look forward to seeing them again.

Unknown Suspects, Singer/songwriter Bobby Frantell and banjo picker Chris Falkner hail from Fort Atkinson and Ixonia Wisconsin. Bobby has led numerous blues and rock bands since he was 14 years old, but always leaned toward bluegrass and folk music in his spare time. Chris loves all things bluegrass and old country, but isn’t afraid of picking something new. Together they make up the Unknown Suspects and strive to secure a guest picker to mix things up. You never know who or IF it will be. They have a unique sound and enjoy crossing blues, rock, country and bluegrass lines.

Had to scale down but still had loads of fun. JDRf did great!
