Guest Blog - Mike Kvalheim Returns
Hey Soggy Prairie Boys fans - this is Mike. You might have caught me playing with the Boys one of these past two weekends at Cows on the Concourse or the Dane County Dairy Breakfast on the Farm. When Kodey asked me (a long time back) to fill in for him while he was away on his tour of Asia, I said “Absolutely!” I wasn’t going to miss an opportunity to pick some tunes with the Boys again! If you’re a long-time fan of the SPB you know that I played guitar with the band from t
Busy Weekends/The Life of a Musician
As the weather gets warmer, we get busier. It's always this time of the year where we find ourselves getting up early, and staying out late playing Bluegrass music for the masses.

Busking on the Capitol Square
The Soggy Prairie Boys swung by the Capitol Square Saturday morning to enjoy the beautiful weather and play some tunes for the farmers and passersby.

Hope to see you down the road. -Carl #livemu
What's The Big Deal With Beer Jolais?
If you want the full story on the origin of Beer Jolais, you can visit the Beer Jolais page on our website here. That article is about where we came from, whereas this blog post is more about where we're going. Or where we're trying to go anyway. This year proves to be a very different Beer Jolais. We are going to stick to what it was founded on...Bluegrass Music and Beer...but we are adding a few things to make it an even more exciting day. It's always been my favorite day o
Welcome
Hello friends and fans. Kodey here, your friendly neighborhood Bluegrass band leader. I started this blog so you can learn a little bit more about us, and what it takes to keep this moderately successful local Bluegrass band, well, moderately successful. I hope to keep this current, and also have some columns by our other band members; Jim, Tom, Krist, and Carl. If you have questions, this is a great place to reach out. I haven't quite figured out how that works yet, but I'm
