Reinventing Yesterday & If He Dies He Dies w/ Sissy Boys, Snakeout and Mouthful of Locusts
18+ Standing Room Only Show 17 and under admitted with a parent or guardian Reinventing Yesterday hails from Kalamazoo bringing energy along with aggression to the stage. The band played a major role in the local Michigan Metalcore scene playing hundreds of shows through out the Midwest. Their diverse style included a mix of catchy fast paced metal riffs, brutal breakdowns, and hardcore two step making them a perfect fit for any line up in the scene. From 2005 through 2009 you could have found them playing a house party or a professional venue with national acts such as The Black Dahlia Murder, Unearth, Suicide Silence, and many others. The band will be sharing the stage with long time friends If He Dies He Dies and local heat seekers Snakeout and Mouthful of Locusts. The band hopes to see the familiar faces of the thriving Kalamazoo music scene from what they once knew and also make some new friends and fans. If He Dies, He Dies are a metal group from Muskegon, MI. Their latest release is a single titled “JUDAS,” which dropped in April. One year before the release of JUDAS, the 4 bandmates walked back into the practice space for the first time in over a decade. It wasn’t about rebuilding—it was about reunion. A whole 13 years passed before the band reunited on stage last November for a sold-out reunion show in Grand Rapids. Years before they were a hard-touring crew, zipping all over the US performing with acts like Mastodon, La Dispute and The Black Dahlia Murder. Things fell apart for the group and they disbanded in 2010. Fast forward to today and the band is older, wiser and better than ever
Geordie Greep (of black midi) with NNAMDÏ
18+ Standing Room Only Show / 17 and under admitted with a parent or guardian Is The New Sound a tonic for these times? Let’s ask Geordie Greep. “Music can be so much more than learning to play the same as everybody else. It can be anything you want. With recording The New Sound, it was the first time I have had no one to answer to. Being in a band (black midi), we often have this ‘we can do everything’ feeling, but you are also kind of limited in that approach, and sometimes it’s good to do something else, to let go of things.” Geordie’s debut solo album boasts a brand of high quality, all-embracing alternative pop fun not heard in a very long time, walking the line between the ridiculous and brilliant with a teflon-coated aplomb. How the record came about is a thing to marvel at. Over thirty session musicians were involved in its making, on two continents. Greep says, “Half of the tracks were done in Brazil, with local musicians pulled together at the last minute. They’d never heard anything I’d done before, they were just interested in the demos I’d made. The tracking was all done in one, maybe two days.” The spirit of Greep’s increasingly febrile and furtive soliloquies simultaneously calls to mind both Frank Zappa and Frank Sinatra, with a healthy dash of Scott Walker sprinkled throughout. The instrumental title track is a jazz-funk workout that could double as a soundtrack for a TV series or the intro music for a Broadway musical. Brass, wah-wah pedal and bass stabs, choruses and polyrhythms, all fizz and tumble around the place creating a sense of excitement and expectation. Tracks often oscillate from whispers to shouts, and start and end on a bang. The stories themselves act as a shopping list of the Active Male Imagination. A series of vignettes, where Geordie Greep plays the role of emcee and conductor. The characters we hear from are engaged in wild fantasies and situations in which they inevitably falter. “The main theme of the record is desperation; someone who is kidding themselves that they have everything under control, but they don’t.” Here Greep gives color to a set of imaginings which include cannibalism, being boiled alive, and a woman giving birth to a goat. Street life is all around The New Sound: the listener is thrown into a world of cafes, bars, rented rooms, cabarets and strange museums. Here we see our heroes carry out a series of naughty assignments, military cosplay or socio-economic triumphs. The lines between parody and sermon are often blurred. The urbane romantic fantasy of single ‘Holy Holy’ tells the story of an imaginary liaison in a nightclub, soundtracked by ’noughties indie chords and bravura Latin big band arrangements – including a three-piano attack.
Will Wood Slouching Towards Bethlehem! Tour w/ Shayfer James
This is a 18+ event with standing room only Generally associated with hallucinations and dead rats, singer-songwriter and pianist Will Wood has been described as something of a recluse, quote “because I told my publicist to.” Wood’s dramatic songwriting is characterized by a sense of humor that whiplashes between too dry to detect and aggressively absurd, as well as a combination of both intensely emotional and surrealist lyricism, and his solo performances follow suit. His work has only increased in popularity since beginning a hiatus after the release of his “musical suicide note” In Case I Make It, and the Slouching Towards Bethlehem tour is his first time playing live in two years. Will Wood lives in New Jersey, likes to read, and has three pet rats, named “Snooter Man,” “Mister Bubbles,” and “Bastard.”
The Insiders performing the music of The Traveling Wilburys & More
This is a 18+ event with standing room only| 17 under with a parent or guardian Close your eyes and you won’t know the difference. Open them and you still might be fooled. The Insiders present the premier Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers experience. With 6 veteran musicians and decades of combined stage and touring experience, The Insiders are genuinely running down the dream. It all starts with frontman Max Lockwood. “I grew up listening to Tom Petty. My mom would play the Greatest Hits record while she worked out. I’d sit at the top of the stairs and listen to those songs—it was my most requested CD as a young kid.” In high school, Lockwood’s band Big Dudee Roo started covering Petty songs at their frequent shows in West Michigan. “Tom Petty was part of the great American landscape to me—a legend by the time I was musically conscious. We got a great crowd reaction with Petty tunes, and people frequently commented that I sounded a lot like him.” Nothing has changed with time. After the passing of Tom Petty in October of 2017, Lockwood organized the band by pulling together some of his favorite musicians for a benefit concert. After a sold-out show that raised thousands for a local domestic violence shelter The Insiders decided they wouldn’t back down. “We try to honor what Mr. Petty and the Heartbreakers have done for rock and roll each night. We’re fans of the music first and foremost. These songs are woven into the fabric of the American identity.” They’ve found no shortage of demand, selling out shows everywhere they go. Local Spins’ John Sinkevics had this to say: “The Insiders set the bar at a new level for Tom Petty tributes.” The Insiders are based in Grand Rapids, Michigan and currently tour the Midwest and beyond. They are available for public and private functions.
Kitchen Dwellers w/ Sicard Hollow

This time ultimately traces a trajectory of self-realization, acceptance, and accountability. Kitchen Dwellers embark on a similar odyssey over the course of their fourth full-length offering, Seven Devils. The Montana quartet — Shawn Swain [Mandolin], Torrin Daniels [Banjo], Joe Funk [Upright Bass], and Max Davies [Acoustic Guitar] — thread together an immersive and inimitable conceptual arc inspired by Dante’s Inferno and set to a soundtrack of folk-infused bluegrass spiked with psychedelic vision and rock energy. Continuing their own journey as brothers, they deliver their most ambitious and anthemic body of work yet. “These tunes deal with the human experience, and Torrin initially drew a parallel between the music and Dante,” Max states. “We explored the connection by correlating each song with a sin. Some of these connections are only apparent if you dive deep into the lyrics. Our goal is to essentially take the listener through our own interpretation of the Inferno story.” “We didn’t go into the studio with the intent of making a concept album,” recalls Torrin. “I was driving around listening to everything, and I noticed these parallels. To dive deeper, we’re discussing topics like mental health, the human condition, and what we go through on the road. In life and music, everything is recurring and universal. I was reading Dante at the time, and it naturally fit.” It proved to be a logical next step as well… Thus far, Kitchen Dwellers have engaged and enraptured listeners with albums such as Ghost In The Bottle [2017], Muir Maid [2019], Live from the Wilma [2021], and Wise River [2022]. Of the latter, Holler. praised how “Kitchen Dwellers have preserved their sense of youthful experimentation,” and Relix proclaimed, “The songs on the new record build on this range, while also reflecting on the group’s Bozeman, Montana home.” Between tallying millions of streams, the band ignited hallowed venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre and graced the bills of Telluride Bluegrass, Northwest String Summit, WinterWonderGrass, and beyond.

PRETORIA WSG. GET TUFF, THE DOOZERS
This is a 18 and over event with standing room only event. 17 and under admitted with a parent or guardian Pretoria (Grand Rapids) Pretoria is a five-piece indie-rock band from Grand Rapids, Michigan that’s known for their guitar-driven sound, three-guitar harmonies, and catchy hooks. The band’s style incorporates elements of post-punk, retro rock, and power pop, and some say their music is both smart and energetic. Get Tuff (Lansing) Bio – drama-pop for the devil in you. When the going got rough, Get Tuff was born out of necessity. RB Roe, a touring musician for the better half of a decade, traded their guitar for GarageBand demos while on the road. Inspired by the glitchy witchcraft of POPPY and Hayley Williams’ multimedia therapy, Get Tuff is a respite, an outlet, and a backbone drenched in pop production. According to Roe themselves, Get Tuff exists as “a reminder that there is strength in vulnerability and there is an innate humor in the depths of despair that, as a person with mental illness, can come from things that others may deem small and benign.” The Doozers (Detroit) The Doozers are a high energy indie/new wave band hailing from the suburbs consisting of four members: Sean Donnelly (Vocals, Guitar), Parker Grissom (Guitar), Melanie Kelley (Bass), and Kyle Garland (Drums). Wherever the Doozers are, the dancing follows. The Doozers’ sound is influenced by bands like Cage the Elephant, The Districts, Hippo Campus, and Catfish and the Bottlemen. Their performances are known for their energy, dancing, and stage diving. https://www.facebook.com/TheDoozersBand/
