CRYSTAL FALLS – The Make-Believe Spurs bring sounds of alternative folk and Americana music to the Crystal Theatre in downtown Crystal Falls. The concert takes place at 7 p.m. (CDT) Saturday at the theatre located at 304 Superior Ave.

Based in Marquette, the trio draws inspiration from artists like Chris Stapleton, the Grateful Dead, John Prine, Tyler Childers, and Natihaniel Rateliff. Their versatile sound ranges from intimate harmonies to electric performances that tempt audiences to get up and dance.

Playing nearly 200 shows a year, the group has performed at a variety of Upper Peninsula venues including Northern Michigan University and the Hiawatha Music Co-Op in Marquette and Bay College in Escanaba. They’ve also performed at Cedar Point, the Black Squirrel Bluegrass and Americana Festival.

Guitarist/vocalist Brian Wallen is a second place winner of the International Blues Challenge and Molly Wallen is a classically trained vocalist with a background in opera. Drummer/vocalist Mavis Farr honed her craft in West African drums and percussion at Oakland University.
