The Smokeboss Militia Live at Double Roads
When it comes to electrifying live performances, The Smokeboss Militia brings something entirely unique to the stage. Led by Andy “Smokeboss” Mensing, this ensemble is more than just a band—it’s a celebration of music, culture, and the joy of live entertainment. Now, Double Roads patrons have a chance to experience this energy firsthand. Here’s everything you need to know about The Smokeboss Militia and why their upcoming set is a can’t-miss event for music fans.
Who is The Smokeboss Militia?
The Smokeboss Militia is the latest brainchild of Andy “Smokeboss” Mensing, a seasoned performer with roots in Underground Punk. Mensing is best known as a guitarist for Rat City Riot, though his career spans decades and dozens of collaborations with deeply talented musicians from all over the world.
With his new record, Rise Again, The Smokeboss Militia takes listeners on a genre-blending adventure that redefines the boundaries of modern music. This anthology-style album features some of Mensing’s best work, curated over the years and polished with the contributions of an eclectic mix of musicians. From Rock and Blues to Punk, Soul, and even Irish influences, The Smokeboss Militia serves up a little something for everyone.
For Mensing, genre is simply a guideline—not a limitation. A Smokeboss set is a masterclass in musical diversity, featuring popular covers, original tracks, and hidden gems that connect with audiences on every level.
The Smokeboss Global Legacy
Don’t mistake The Smokeboss Militia for a local treasure alone. Mensing’s talents have taken him far beyond Double Roads. With three successful European tours under his belt, Mensing and his collaborators have built an international fanbase that embraces their creative approach to music. A fourth European tour is already in the works, further cementing their status as global performers.
But even as the band prepares for its next big international adventure, Mensing prioritizes connecting with his local community. His performances are equal parts gratitude for a supportive home base and a reminder that great music often starts in intimate, energetic venues like Double Roads.
