Fox River Fallout

Fox River Fallout is a toe tapping, old-timey, American roots band from northern Illinois. Headed by frontman and guitarist Trashcan Charlie, their dirty blend of jazz, rockabilly, outlaw country, and rag grass is as much fun as it is entrancing.

FRF’s music takes you on a journey down a dusty street to a back-alley saloon. It is where outcasts go to drink bottles of rye and gamble to the twang of Lunchbox’s banjo. Everyone’s feet stomp steadily to the pulse of Riktator’s upright bass, while the waitresses float around the tables, serving spirits as elegantly and eerily as the sound of Catfish Rick ‘s mandolin. Coyotes howl in the distance as vocal harmonies call out to anyone who will listen to their energetic tales of sin.

Within just a few weeks of forming, Fox River Fallout has already created a buzz while playing at local open mics. Their energetic stage presence and driving music has made them a sought after band to perform at venues in the area. FRF brings a sound that’s so familiar and unique, that anyone can be found humming the catchy tunes from this unruly string quartet.
