“Hailing from the Twin Cities, Broken Heartland String Band has brought an amalgamation of country, bluegrass, and Americana to the Upper Midwest since 2015. The band brings energy and soul with a wide range of covers and originals blended from the diverse musical backgrounds of the band’s members. Gordon Bratt accompanies his olive oil voice and giddy charm with bustling guitar chops. Courtney Buck pairs her smoky voice with fiery fiddle solos. Rounding out the low end on bass is Chris Barthol. These three are out to provide a good time with wholesome, partner-swaying, knee-slapping, hootin’ and hollerin’ tunes.”
