HOWDY FOLKS!

News

THE IRONWEED BLUEGRASS BAND AND THE SWAMPWEED CAJUN BAND are ready for Spring!   We have lots of great shows coming your way as you can see on our calendar…and more to come! 
Ironweed will be whoopin and hollerin’ as they head down the road to some great gigs! From Jimmy Martin to Hazel Dickens, you can [...]

  • Welcome, friends!

      IRONWEED (veronia noveboracensis) is a wildflower that blooms late in the summer. It has a small purple flower at the top, and a strong, iron-like stem. It’s a wild, tough flower but many argue it as a weed with a deep root and hard to get rid of. It’s real pretty and you’ll find it all over Boone County and beyond. Oh, and did we mention..the cows just won’t go near it.

      IRONWEED (pickum singum excellentis) is a BLUEGRASS BAND from Columbia, Missouri formed in 1994. Some folks around here say there are strong similarities between the band and the wildflower. The IRONWEED BLUEGRASS BAND has developed a long, strong suit of hard-drivin' traditional and non-traditional bluegrass tunes. And when the folks want to dance, they can play some nice waltzes and two-steps, too. Their pickin' is awfully good -- and some will tell you that the singing is even better. This is a band to see, hear, and enjoy -- live!
