The Way Down Wanderers

If Mumford & Sons, the Avett Brothers, and Punch Brothers had a wild, foot-stomping jam session under the stars, you’d get The Way Down Wanderers. This genre-bending crew blends bluegrass grit, folk soul, and indie-rock fire into something totally their own — and totally electric.
Known for their magnetic live shows, lush harmonies, and mad multi-instrumental talent, The Way Down Wanderers don’t just play music — they ignite it. Their performances pulse with energy, pulling you into a whirlwind of rhythm, heart, and sheer joy. It’s not just a concert — it’s a shared moment, a campfire singalong with 500 of your newest friends.
This is the kind of band you’ll brag about seeing before they hit the big time. Trust us — the Wanderers are going places. Be able to say you were there at the start.

The Living Room Sets
Soulfully Curated. Intentionally Intimate.
Because good music feels like home.
Some experiences hit different when we slow down. When we zoom in. When we trade the big stage for something smaller — and more real.
That’s the heart of The Living Room Sets — a new concert experience designed for connection. Limited seating. Close-up performances. Full-hearted feels.
We put a cap on tickets, pull out some couches and chairs, and bring the music right into the room with you.
Grab a drink. Pull up a chair. Let’s make this one of those nights you’ll feel forever.
