About the Event
Come hear new music from this favorite!
Inspired by annual shows at Little Grassy Getdown, an eclipse show at the Varsity in 2024, as well as current events, The Woodbox Gang committed to recording their first album in 12 years. On June 13, 2025, they will perform songs from the new album, “Brown Cane Toad,” and beloved favorites at the Varsity in Carbondale, Illinois.
Band members are Hugh DeNeal, Alex Kirt, Dan Goett, Nate Graham and Max Senteney.
The Woodbox Gang have spent a quarter of a century creating vibrant and timeless music, combining the traditional sounds of American roots music with a raw and ragged sensibility. From the rickety stage floors of a church in downtown Makanda to the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., The Woodbox Gang has excited audiences of all kinds over the years. Recently, the band played only a handful of shows, often digging into the vault for tunes written more than 20 years earlier.
Chicago Farmer will open the show with his sharp wit and amazing storytelling in his music. Chicago Farmer has dazzled audiences back and forth across the lands, leaving tears of laughter and catharsis.
This incredible concert will take place Friday, June 13, in the Big Room at the Varsity, which now has new state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems and a new cutting-edge heating and cooling system.
Tickets are $20 in advance at Eventbrite (see link) and $25 at the venue on the night of the show when the Varsity Bar and doors open at 6.
The Varsity is downtown Carbondale at 418 S. Illinois Ave. Be sure to follow at www.facebook.com/varsitycenter for events and other news.
