​Dragon Wagon

Dragon Wagon
Whether you like Irish-Amercan fiddle, southern pluckin' banjo, or Appalachian mandolin, Dragon Wagon has the Americana medicine to cure whatever may ail you. As one of Michigan's finest modern-roots musical performers, Dragon Wagon starts every show dancing, ends every show drinkin', and expects a bit of hollering between the two.
The Dragon Wagon crew features Detroit-award nominated virtuoso Troy Radikin on Mandolin and Vocals, the classical and awe-inspiring Megan Sicheneder on Violin and Vocals, the endless instruments and mind-shattering versatility of Rich Delcamp on Banjo/Guitar and Vocals. The amazing style of Guitarist Tyler Aukerman, and of course, no stage party is complete without our amazingly talented rhythm section featuring Michael Tobias Designs and Bartolini endorsed artist Matthew Meyers on 6 string bass, and the University of Toledo Jazz Department's own Travis Aukerman, a master percussionist. Together, Dragon Wagon has re-envisioned what American roots are, and they execute everything from 100% traditional bluegrass to jazz-inspired dance-worthy original masterpieces. All their music thrives on a live audience, and each performance grows into a unique and energetic experience.
Since their formation in 2008, this Ann Arbor group has entertained audiences of all ages with a blast of pure energy, eclectic humor, and storytelling inclinations which make their shows so much more than music. Alongside their expert performances of original material, re-imagined traditionals, and a host of crowd favorites from every musical generation, Dragon Wagon infuses their music with the soul of the audience to ensure that every crowd at every venue gets perfectly catered, dragonfire-roasted entertainment.
This outfit entertains everyone with ears from the largest festivals in the Midwest to the one-horse barrooms in the cold Michigan North... and beyond. The one thing all audiences agree on: once you hop on the wagon, you'll never forget the ride.
