Imagine an alternate universe in which Black Flag emerged from the honky-tonks of 1960s Bakersfield instead of the punk scene of late-’70s Los Angeles. That’s the plane of existence inhabited by Sarah Shook & the Disarmers.

Sarah Shook and the Disarmers at Big Grove
Since Big Grove Brewery opened its taproom in Iowa City, they have been booking music showcasing local and touring country, rock and roots music. That theme continues with North Carolina’s Sarah Shook and the Disarmers, who take over the taproom June 27. Shook and company are touring on ‘Sidelong,’ the band’s first full-length out on Bloodshot Records.
