Arkansauce with Derek Dames Ohl Duo are coming to Velvet Elk Lounge on June 1st . Doors open at 7:00 PM, and the show kicks off at 8:00 PM, all for $20 (fees included).

Arkansauce calls forth melodies of the Ozark Mountains' rolling hills and raging rivers with their distinct blend of newgrass. This progressive string quartet features Tom Andersen on bass, guitarist Zac Archuleta, Ethan Bush on mandolin, and Adams Collins on banjo. Their music features improvisational string leads matched with complex melodies, intriguing rhythms, and deep thumping bass grooves. Each member sings lead and harmony parts as well as contributes to the lyrics, which offer authentic, intelligent songwriting with hard-hitting hooks.
Derek Dames Ohl is like warm butter on hot bread with blustering conduct. As a modern-day herald, Derek keeps his roots close with a six-string on his back, ping-ponging across the United States, sharing songs at every bar or dive that dares. His sounds eclipse and perfect everything from Country, Blues, and Honky-Tonk. His pride lies in keeping the American roots music tradition alive, with punchy guitar playing that'll surely leave listeners stomping the floorboards. Derek has been compared to artists like John Prine and Guy Clark with his quirky one moment, and woeful the next, songwriting style.
