The Bare Hambones is a roots-rock band that has been performing in the Chicagoland area and throughout the Midwest since 2012.  Fronted by charismatic piano-playing lead singer Tim Larsen, the band’s live show is a high energy 50/50 mix of covers and originals.  Their originals can be found anywhere you stream music.  The covers they play range from 50’s Rock and Roll to Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Country to Tom Petty, The Grateful Dead and up to Chris Stapleton’s Blues-based Alt Country of the present day.  They cover a wide spectrum of some of the best songs ever released.  The energy of their shows begins with the force that is Brad Riverdahl’s drumming and is held together with the foundation of the band, the creative and true bass player Tony Kubicek.  Adding to that rhythm and energy is Mike Brown (“Ladies and Gentlemen, Michael Brown!”) who frequently stomps around on stage while strumming his acoustic guitar.  And to top off the music, Chad Hill's vast experience with rockabilly and rock music is a perfect fit for the Roots Rock sound of The Bare Hambones. 

Prepare yourself to cheer and tap your feet if The Hambones are coming to your town.  There will be songs about desire, love, loss, frustration and most of all, whiskey.  Keep an eye on who is singing because they have a few tricks up their sleeves.  An evening out with The Bare Hambones is always entertaining.
