The Seattle-based band Great American Trainwreck will be performing a Saturday matinee at the next Concerts in the Woods.

Blending southern rock, bluegrass, and classic country, the band consists of Stephanie Ward, vocals and acoustic guitar; Chuck Dunklin, electric tenor guitar and mandolin; Judd Wasserman, vocals and electric guitar; Andy Basinger, keys; Dan Rogers, electric and upright bass; and Dave Bush, drums.

The members all share a passion for rootsy Americana and more traditional genres.

“Our songs take a more progressive approach to those classics and incorporate some of our favorite aspects of them like solo improvisation, heavy harmonies and thoughtful lyrics,” Ward said in an email to The Leader.

Their lyric-driven songs are combined with riffs and harmonies that help to define their more progressive take on the traditional.

“Ultimately though, our sound is defined by each band member’s contributions, their influences, and the chemistry we share,” Ward added, saying the connections they’ve made as a band has helped to refine their sound into something unique.

They are excited to be performing live again and to be surrounded by the Concerts in the Woods atmosphere once more, she said.

“[Concerts in the Woods] is a unique experience because of the intimate setting and the warm audience reception,” she explained. “It is always a treat to play for a listening audience who really seems to appreciate the music. Having some time during and after the show to talk to attendees, too, is something we love about this concert series.”

Taking place at 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 7, the outdoor concert will be located on the grass at the Laurel B. Johnson Community Center. Attendees can pack a snack, bring lawn chairs or picnic blankets, and dance the afternoon away.

Admission is by donation. All ages are welcome. Complimentary cookies, coffee, and conversation will be provided during an intermission.
