Cousin Curtiss brings a high-energy duo to Crystal Saloon in Junea, blending roots rock, blues, and Americana with the uplift of Mumford & Sons colliding with the drive of AC/DC. Cousin Curtiss unleashes rapid acoustic guitar, searing harmonica, and a thunderous kick drum, while Harrison B delivers atmospheric, gritty guitar tones inspired by David Gilmour and Gary Clark Jr., building a huge sound from just two players. The performance is raw, soulful, and relentless, with blues pushed to breakneck bluegrass tempos and rock steeped in a deep Americana groove. They do not just perform, they spark the songs to life and keep the momentum surging.
