Episode 18-34: The Big Wu

About This Episode

A jam band with a unique style and presence, the Big Wu combines
strong, free flowing improvisation and vocal harmonies, with
finely crafted songs for all tastes. The story goes that “the
Wu,” bound for rock stardom, sold their souls for a case of Old
Style beer one thirsty night long ago. The legend and the band
live on. Still rocking their powerful, moving, and energizing
music for the fans, we were pleased to welcome them back in our
2017 show season for their 2nd appearance at the Big Blue Tent.


Black River Review plays freshwater bluegrass from the twin
sports of Duluth, MN and Superior, WI. BRR has crafted their own
sound made up of mostly original music which can be heard on
their debut album “Garbage Pickin’ (2013). Their sophomore album
“Spring Thaw” was released in 2014, and their latest release was
revealed in 2017, right at our very own Big Top performance!
