"Knocks" in the News!
Back in April 2025, we had the incredible honor of joining the Marquette Symphony Orchestra for their spring concert, Festive Folk. Led by conductor Octavio Mas-Arocas and featuring brand-new pieces composed for orchestra by The Knockabouts' enchanting fiddler Barbara Rhyneer, it was an experience we’ll never forget. There’s nothing quite like hearing our songs wrapped in the sound of a full symphony—it was pure enchantment from the first note to the last. We’d love to share that magic with you, so below you’ll find two videos: the Saturday night performance on April 12, and a special concert we played for Marquette Public Schools on Monday, April 14.
The Knockabouts were featured on an episode of GoUSA TV's show American Beats. The episode showcases Marquette, the U.P., and our very own Dan Truckey!
