Circus Mutt Live at Triskelion
Oct 5 @ 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm
Triskelion Brewing Company

Originally formed in 2010, in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville NC, Circus Mutt draws from a spectrum of musical influences including rock and roll, jazz, and bluegrass.

The band cut their teeth on the road, touring literally non-stop from 2011-2016. Breweries, festivals, bars and thousands of miles of highway have been the proving ground for this group of blue-collar musicians.

Behind the songwriting of Dan Falkenstein, Circus Mutt has woven a unique blend of American sounds on their first studio album “Old Dogs & New Tricks.” Live Mutt performances vary from solo/duo shows, to full-blown, 6-piece band extravaganzas.
