English - Rock, Funk & Americana

Map #16 1710 East 9th St
3:30 to 4:30

ENGLISH is a five-piece powerhouse band from Des Moines, Iowa, delivering what they affectionately call “tater-tot casserole rock” – all the good stuff you love in one place.


Since forming in 2016, ENGLISH has carved out a distinctive sound that seamlessly blends rock, funk, and Americana into an eclectic, high-energy experience.


Fronted by Chris English’s dynamic vocals and anchored by a blistering horn section (Tommy Doggett on saxophone and Hans Decker on trumpet), the band creates a sound that’s both massive and surprisingly nuanced. Russ Tomlinson’s drums and Justin Goes’ bass form a tight, pocketed rhythm section that keeps audiences moving all night long.


After a brief hiatus, ENGLISH has returned to live performance with renewed energy and fresh material alongside crowd-pleasing covers
