Red Willow Band — Sturgis Reunion Show
Jul 14, 2011
South Dakota's Red Willow Band brought their unique brand of "country swing played with a silver jingle" to the Knuckle Saloon in Sturgis. The band delighted their fans with a rocking three and a half hour, two set performance. Many long-time fans remarked on the years that have passed since the band regularly played South Dakota venues from Ox Yoke Ranch in Nemo to Stockman's Bar in Sioux Falls. But, all agreed, the band's skill and enthusiasm were untarnished by the passage of time. All photos by Jeremiah M. Murphy. View more of Murphy's photos at Tumblr.
