Escape w/ Clusterpluck LIVE at The Lincoln Theatre in Belleville, IL

Attendees are advised to arrive early, as Clusterpluck - widely recognized as one of the premier bluegrass bands in the country - will begin the evening with a one-hour set. Originating from Southern Illinois, Clusterpluck recently marked their 15th anniversary with an acclaimed performance at the Old Rock House in St. Louis, MO. The group employs an impressive array of stringed instruments, percussion, and four-part harmonies to deliver a dynamic blend of bluegrass, country, and jam genres.

After Clusterpluck’s set, anticipation will build as Escape prepares for their appearance. Escape is a seven-member ensemble known for versatile musical arrangements incorporating bass, drums, guitar, mandolin, and violin. The group is distinguished by its compelling mix of acoustic / electric progressive rock, featuring intricate solos, rich harmonies, and vocals ranging from melodic to robust.

In Fall 2024, Escape reunited for their first live performance in over a decade, performing to a near-capacity audience at Eckert's Cider Shed. This year, they will continue this new tradition with an exclusive engagement at the historic Lincoln Theatre in downtown Belleville, IL, showcasing exceptional production values, sound quality, and lighting regarded as among the best in the region.
