LOCK INN 3.19.19: An Evening Justin Vernon + Sean Carey
2019-03-19 15:00 - 2019-03-20 12:00 (America/Chicago) | The Oxbow Hotel, 516 Galloway St., Eau Claire, WI, 54703, United States
The Oxbow Hotel and The Lakely are thrilled to announce two new dates in the on-going series of events dubbed “Lock Inns,” which are meant to bring fans closer to the music and give them a chance to experience a very exclusive, intimate performance by some of their favorite artists. For these two dates, Justin Vernon and Bon Iver bandmate Sean Carey will be coming to the stage!
So join us on a couple of seemingly typical weeknights – one March 19th, and one April 16th – for a unique and exclusive overnight experience of food, music, camaraderie, and more. These two events offer fans of Justin Vernon and Sean Carey a rare opportunity to enjoy an evening curated entirely by their musical, culinary, and cultural sensibilities from beginning to end. And did we mention the possibility of special guests?!
Upon check-in, throughout the property and bar you’ll hear a playlist filled with songs selected by Vernon and Carey. Then, during a relaxing and very special six-course dinner crafted in collaboration with Chef Nathan Berg, Vernon and Carey will perform live on the stage in The Lakely. Later, there’s a good chance that they’ll be joined throughout the night by other yet-to-be-named musical guests from their stable of friends and creative collaborators.
Only 30 packages will be sold for each date, making each Lock Inn available to only a select few. Other package highlights include a limited-edition event poster, morning yoga in The Gallery, brunch from a prix fixe menu, and the opportunity to be a part of an incredibly special experience.

2019-03-15 20:00 - 22:00 | The Oxbow Hotel, 516 Galloway St., Eau Claire, WI, 54703, United States
Allison de Groot and Tatiana Hargreaves, two women on the forefront of American traditional music, join forces in this powerful new duo. Their reverence for the people and music that has come before them provides a platform on which they build their own musical vocabulary.

With banjo, fiddle, and voice, Allison (Molsky’s Mountain Drifters) and Tatiana (Laurie Lewis) seek out unusual repertoire that catches their ear and inspires them to explore the boundaries of the tune. Their debut album showcases a strong new voice that is both reflective and dynamic.
Allison has toured all over the world with various groups, performing at venues such as Trafalgar Square in London, Newport Folk Festival and other major festivals across the US and Canada. She combines love and passion for old-time music, technical skill and a creative approach to the banjo. Allison has immersed herself in American roots music through festivals such as the Appalachian String Band Festival in West Virginia, making pilgrimages to musical communities in North Carolina and participating in the acoustic music scene in Boston, MA. For more information about Allison, visit www.allisondegroot.com.
Since releasing her first solo album “Started Out To Ramble” in 2009, Tatiana has toured and performed with musicians such as Dave Rawlings, Gillian Welch, and Michael Daves. From being the second woman to place first at the Clifftop Appalachian Fiddle Contest, to her bluegrass fiddling on Laurie Lewis’ GRAMMY-nominated album The Hazel And Alice Sessions, Hargreaves shows a musical fluency that flows between old time and bluegrass worlds with ease.

Lakely Loves: Far North Spirits
2019-02-27 18:00 - 21:00
Join us as we welcome Far North Spirits from Hallock, MN. Far North is one of the many craft distilleries that have come to fruition in the Upper Midwest over the past decade, but they have one big attribute that sets them apart from the bunch: they grow all their own grains right at the farm surrounding the distillery! Only 25 miles from the Canadian border in the Red River valley of northern Minnesota, they maintain 1,000 acres of rich soil where they grow all of the organic wheat, rye and corn, which they then turn into a wide variety of sublime spirits that have a definitive terrior that only a rare few distilleries in the US are able to achieve.
For this dinner, we will be joined by Cheri Reese who, with her husband Michael Swanson, owns and operates Far North Spirits. She will lead our guests through a tasting of many of the distillery’s incredible creations, while also giving a presentation to show off their amazing slice of Earth and the work they perform on it. Meanwhile, Chef Nathan Berg will be crafting a six-course dinner of dishes with the sole intent of highlighting the flavors of their ethereal spirits. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn about one of the most ambitious distilleries in the country, while also enjoying a paired prix-fixe dinner to boot!
Dinner starts at 6:00pm. Bar will open at 5:00pm.
$60 PER PERSON // PLEASE CALL OR TEXT 715.559.8553 FOR RESERVATIONS
Sorry, but we cannot accommodate significant dietary restrictions for this event.
