There will be a full bar available. This show is free for members. A $5 donation is suggested for non-members. This event is a fundraiser for the Conservation Club. Camping is available for members and memberships will be available for purchase that evening. Hope to see you!Flash in a Pan is not your grandpap’s string band. The Iowa City-based quartet has been playing across the Midwest since 2012. Founded by guitarist Blake Daly, the current line-up also consists of banjo player Alex Flesher, mandolinist Max Lipnick, and bassist Michael Bray. Flash in a Pan has cultivated a unique tonality in folk and bluegrass music. Noted for their shining vocal harmonies, vibrant stage energy, and modern sensibility in composition, Flash in a Pan has become a darling to festival stages, theaters, and bar rooms alike. While respecting the tradition of bluegrass, they do not restrain themselves from exploring elements outside of traditional bluegrass. Their musical style offers a blend that is all at once familiar and refreshingly unexpected.
In the last six years, Flash in a Pan has shared a stage with bluegrass royalty like The Travelin’ McCourys and Sam Bush, as well as rising acts and regional favorites like Chicago Farmer, Them Coulee Boys, The Lil Smokies, Miles Over Mountains, Old Salt Union, Pert Near Sandstone, The Kitchen Dwellers, and Horseshoes & Handgrenades.
Flash in a Pan has released two studio albums, Off The Rails (2017) and Folklore (2018) (available on Spotify). Currently, the band is developing new studio releases for 2023.
