ARMCHAIR BOOGIE
\n\nJamgrass\, newgrass\, funkgrass\, whatever you want to call iit&mdash\; Armchair Boogie is rapidly becoming one of the country&rsquo\;s hottest acts. With an unbounded sound\, this Wisconsin-based quartet is known for their powerful harmonies\, timeless originals\, and choice covers\, along with unforgettable live performances. Listed as a &ldquo\;Must-See Roots Artists at Bourbon &\; Beyond'\;'\; by The Bluegrass Situation who wrote\, &ldquo\;We recently caught this jammy Wisconsin outfit at Earl Scruggs Music Festival\, where they burnt down their late-night set.&rdquo\;
\nArmchair Boogie is Augie Dougherty on banjo with Ben Majeska acoustic &\; electric guitars backed by tight\, driving rhythms of Eli Frieders on electric bass and Denzel Connor on drums. This unconventional lineup enhances their lightning-fast bluegrass\, allowing them to freely venture into the realms of funk or country. A band on the verge\, Armchair Boogie is excited to independently release their 4th studio recording\, Hard Times &\; Deadlines\, on March 15.
Composing these songs around the beginning of the pandemic\, Majeska and Dougherty&mdash\;who sing lead on the respective songs they wrote&mdash\;were experiencing the stresses of entering their late 20s.
\n\nMajeska says &ldquo\;Life comes with highs and lows\, and Hard Times &\; Deadlines captures the fleet of emotions that come with it. From broken hearts and fond memories. To broad horizons and the inevitable end of this human journey.&rdquo\;
\n\n"\;Hard Times &\; Deadlines is a pretty literal explanation of what I felt life was turning into\,&rdquo\; Dougherty says. "\;The fluffy part of college and party life was beginning to fade away and it seemed like it was time to put my head down and work. "\;Once the tunes were drafted\, they were brought to the whole band for collaboration. "\;This is where the tune truly becomes a Boogie song. Everyone adds their touch of creative input and we'\;re able to polish it up collectively pretty quickly\,&rdquo\; explains Dougherty.
