The details

About this event

Armchair Boogie is set to light up The Argo with their unique fusion of bluegrass, funk, and rock. This Madison-based quartet is known for their high-energy performances that blend jamgrass with the swagger of rock ‘n’ roll. Their shows are a mix of original tracks and reimagined covers, all delivered with tight harmonies and blistering solos.

The band features Augie Dougherty on banjo, Ben Majeska on guitars, Eli Frieders on electric bass, and Denzel Connor on drums. Their adventurous approach to music stretches the boundaries of traditional bluegrass, creating a sound that's both infectious and unexpected. The Argo's intimate setting is perfect for experiencing their dance-fueled live shows.

With a reputation as one of the most exciting acts on the circuit, Armchair Boogie promises a night of music that keeps audiences on their feet. The event also supports a good cause, with a portion of ticket sales going to local artist mental health initiatives.

From the organizer

Armchair Boogie brings a night of bluegrass, funk & rock with tight harmonies, blazing solos, and a dance-fueled show to The Argo stage. Armchair Boogie is bluegrass at full throttle, infused with the energy of a jam band and the swagger of rock ‘n’ roll. Hailing from Madison, WI, this electrifying quartet blends jamgrass, funk, and country into a sound that’s as infectious as it is unexpected. Known for their tight harmonies, blistering solos, and dance-fueled live shows, they’ve quickly become one of the most exciting acts on the circuit. The Bluegrass Situation named them a “Must-See Roots Artist at Bourbon & Beyond,” raving that their late-night set at the Earl Scruggs Music Festival was nothing short of a barn-burner. Mixing timeless originals with choice covers reimagined in their own style, Armchair Boogie delivers a fresh take on every stage they hit. With Augie Dougherty on banjo, Ben Majeska on acoustic and electric guitars, and the locked-in rhythm section of Eli Frieders (electric bass) and Denzel Connor (drums), the band stretches the boundaries of bluegrass with fiery instrumentals and deep-pocket grooves. Their adventurous approach to the music keeps audiences on their feet and coming back for more.
