“From the depths of the Spokane River, comes local folk rock band The Walleye. With gruff
voice, heavy baseline, and twangy guitar, this band will transport you to a more nitty-gritty
time”--KSPS Inland Sessions Fall 2022

a band to meet
a band to greet
Open up your heart to the smoke-fired meat”...
