Booze Hounds Bluegrass burst onto the Midwest scene in 2017, founded by Eric Lee Reel. What started as a tight-knit group expanded into a dynamic 5-piece lineup by 2024 with fiddler Joe Fawcett and welcomed Lucas Williams in 2025. Known for traditional bluegrass roots infused with original material and contagious energy, they’ve carved a niche as a progressive bluegrass/Americana act with broad festival appeal. While they continue to evolve, the core is clear: high-energy performances, strong musicianship, and a willingness to jam and explore beyond the standard bluegrass set.
