Egg Harbor, Wis. (January 16, 2026) – The popular “Buckets Band,” a Door County supergroup, has announced its expanded 2026 season, longer than ever before and now featuring a third songwriter. The band will take the stage August 4-12 at Woodwalk Gallery in Egg Harbor for “Buckets of Rain” (the songs of Bob Dylan), “Buckets of Prine” (the songs of John Prine), and “Buckets of Brandi” (the songs of Brandi Carlile).
The 2026 Buckets season will feature ten total performances at Woodwalk, three each for Dylan, Prine, and Carlile, including multiple matinees. The band will also present one performance of “Best of Buckets,” featuring selections from all three writers. Memphis multi-instrumentalist Eric Lewis, California-based string player Chris Irwin, local singer/songwriters Katie Dahl and Jeanne Kuhns, and bassist-percussionists Rich Higdon and Craig McClelland will all return to the Buckets band to perform in these tributes to America’s best songwriters.
With its pitch-perfect harmonies and varied orchestrations, “Buckets” has become one of the peninsula’s most popular concert traditions. After performing Dylan’s songs to full houses for fifteen years, the group decided in 2024 to start covering Prine’s songs, given the group’s unanimous enthusiasm for his work. Most of those shows sold out in 2024 and 2025, so this year they decided to add a show of songs by Brandi Carlile, a multi-Grammy-winner whose work is beloved by several in the band.
Tickets are now on sale at www.woodwalkgallery.com/events. Buckets of Rain (songs of Bob Dylan) will take place August 4 at 7 p.m., August 7 at 3 p.m., and August 10 at 7 p.m. Buckets of Prine (songs of John Prine) will take place August 5 at 7 p.m., August 9 at 7 p.m., and August 12 at 3 p.m. Buckets of Brandi (songs of Brandi Carlile) will take place August 6 at 7 p.m., August 9 at 3 p.m., and August 11 at 7 p.m. And “Best of Buckets” will take place August 11 at 3 p.m.
