Black Barrel and the Bad Men at Palmer Alehouse
August 9, 2025 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm AKDT
This is a FREE all ages show. Attendees 21 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Anchorage-based Black Barrel & The Bad Men blend gritty Americana with soul-stirring blues and rock ‘n’ roll swagger. With a sound that channels outlaw country roots, gospel-tinged harmonies, and whiskey-soaked grit, this band delivers raw, high-octane performances that leave crowds breathless.
Their latest album, Ronald (2024), and breakout 2023 release Barrel Season showcase a fearless range — from hard-driving anthems like “Dyin’ Tryin’” to haunting ballads like “Brand New Love.” These aren’t just songs; they’re stories carved from backwoods heartbreak and backroom resilience.
Whether it’s a dive bar or festival stage, Black Barrel & The Bad Men don’t just play music — they bring it to life. Get ready for a night of soulful stomping, outlaw grooves, and the kind of sweat-soaked energy that only comes from a band born of the wild north.
