The Bloody Bucket Saloon

The Grafton Country Music Festival rolls into town this weekend, and we’re kicking things off right here. Kerry Lee takes the stage Friday night from 7 PM to 10 PM, bringing the kind of gritty country and rock that feels straight out of an old cassette deck.
If your idea of a good Friday involves cold b**r, honest guitar picking, and a room full of familiar faces, pull up a stool. Stop by Grafton’s original watering hole to start your festival run the right way.
Remember, we’re strictly a true 21+ saloon.

Fry Project is ducking in for a set on Sunday, Nov. 1st, from 1 to 4 PM. If you haven't caught Roy Fry and the crew yet around the Riverbend, they bring a heavy-hitting mix of classic blues-rock and southern staples... think Stevie Ray Vaughan, Allman Brothers, Clapton, and Led Zeppelin.
Fry Project is the exact kind of raw, gritty sound that belongs in a hideout like this.

Grab a cold b**r, pull up a stool overlooking the confluence, and spend the afternoon at Grafton’s original watering hole.

Adults 21 and up only.

Hippies of the Heartland are taking the stage. They're an acoustic duo running through solid 60s and 70s rock,,, tunes from Fleetwood Mac, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, the Eagles, and the Woodstock era.

Good tunes, plain and simple.

Saturday is Halloween night. If you want to throw on that tie-dye or fringe vest you keep in the closet, nobody here is stopping you. Outlaws, hippies, or whoever walks through the swinging doors, all are welcome.

Hippies of the Heartland
Saturday, Oct. 31, from 7 to 10 PM
Adults 21 and up only
Hitch your horse ( or Harley) out front and head inside.
