The Roadkill Orchestra w/Abigail Rose & Dennis Layne
The Roadkill Orchestra ain’t perfect but, Damn it’s entertaining. This group of Midwestern River Billies have been described as a cross between Flat & Scruggs and Cheech & Chong and plays a brand of music that cannot be pigeonholed into to any one genre. All you can be sure of is a good time and infectious tunes that will make you smile.
