Add a healthy dash of punk rock and old-timey music, and you have Ypsilanti, MI based Black Jake & the Carnies. Dubbed "The Original Kings of Crabgrass," the band plays a unique style of original bluegrass sprinkled with a little spaghetti western, punk, and Vaudeville that people love to dance and get wild to. Add in the band's essential crowd interaction activities and various hilarious carnival gimmicks and you have a surefire recipe for fun! The group has been accused of being a "party band" because people can't help joining in the fun and dancing to the high energy show. Since their founding in 2002, Black Jake & the Carnies have played such festivals as Wheatland Music Festival, Winter Wheat, Blissfest, Beaver Island Music Festival, Appalachian Uprising, Muddy Roots Music Festival, Hiawatha Traditional Music Festival, Thunder Bay Folk Festival, Detroit Metro Times Arts Beats & Eats, Theater Bizarre Detroit, Grand Marais Music Festival, Empire Hops Festival, Ann Arbor Top of the Park, Ypsilanti Heritage Festival, Detroit River Days, Detroit Winter Blast, Metro Times Blowout, Harbor Beach Maritime Festival, Traverse City Winter Microbrew and Music Festival, West Park Winter Social, Michigan Brewers Guild Summer Beer Fest, and many more. From Chicago to Nashville to Brussels, Black Jake and the Carnies have shared the stage with such notable artists as the Carolina Chocolate Drops, Eddie Money, Tommy Ramone, Left Lane Cruiser, Slim Cessna Auto Club, the Ragbirds, Don Julin, Greensky Bluegrass, The Accidentals, Third Coast Kings, and countless others.These men create sounds that make Tod Browning’s Freaks look positively conventional. The glorious dichotomy is that the tunes are catchy enough to be disconcertingly accessible. You are, indeed, one of us. About Dreadful Sideshow: Lowering entertainment standards since 2012, behold Buttons and Ku clowning around with classic sideshow vignettes as Dreadful Sideshow. You've been warned!
