Nothing interesting has been taken from me though, just the things that everybody seems to have, social security number, credit cards, etc. Not long after I turned 25, while at the Lost Lake Lounge in Denver on tour supporting our last album Hex Dealer, I got a notification on my phone that I had successfully checked into a Comfort Inn &#38; Suites in Amherst, Massachusetts. I quickly logged into my bank account only to see a long list of charges on my credit card, as well as a couple thousand dollars missing from my checking and savings. The purchases seemed fairly mundane, a lot of hotels, huge purchases at Costco and Walmart, but one stuck out. A single thirty-five dollar purchase on the website Bandcamp. My heart dropped, and when I went into Lip Critic&#8217;s Bandcamp it confirmed what I was afraid of. Whoever stole my card had bought Lip Critic&#8217;s whole discography. It made me sick. It was as if the scammer was reaching out from some abstract place into the real world, saying &#8220;I see you.&#8221;]]></description>

Formed in Birmingham in 2011, the band features Paul Janeway (vocals), Jesse Phillips (bass), Browan Lollar (guitar), Kevin Leon (drums), Al Gamble (keyboards), Allen Branstetter (trumpet), Chad Fisher (trombone), and Amari Ansari (saxophone). Their new self-titled sixth album marks a creative renewal&#8212;melding the band&#8217;s adventurous spirit with a return to soulful, song-focused roots. Recorded at the legendary FAME Studios and produced by Eg White (Adele, Celine Dion), the record blends psych-funk grooves, gospel-tinged ballads, and cinematic rock flourishes. Tracks like &#8220;Sushi and Coca-Cola&#8221; and &#8220;Going Back&#8221; reflect both personal introspection and the band&#8217;s deepened identity after a decade of evolution. St. Paul &#38; The Broken Bones have shared stages with The Rolling Stones, Lizzo, and Black Pumas, and performed at major festivals like Coachella, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, and Bonnaroo. Even Sir Elton John took notice, inviting them to perform at his Oscar party. Blending rock &#38; roll, soul, R&#38;B, and more, the band continues to captivate audiences around the world.]]></description>

It's what keeps the best bands afloat &#8212; song after song, show after show, record after record. Mike Harmeier was still in his early 20s when he formed Mike and the Moonpies. From the start, they were the definition of a workingman's country band, cutting their teeth with five-hour sets on Austin's dancehall circuit before spreading their music to the rest of America. By the early 2020s, they'd become global ambassadors of homegrown Texas music, flying their flag everywhere from Abbey Road Studios (where they recorded 2019's Cheap Silver &#38; Solid Country Gold with help from the London Symphony Orchestra) to the Grand Ole Opry. &#160;The growth was remarkable, but all that momentum left Harmeier and his four bandmates &#8212; drummer Taylor Englert, guitarist Catlin Rutherford, bassist Omar Oyoque, and steel guitarist Zachary Moulton &#8212; looking for something new. After all, their music had decidedly changed. Why shouldn't their name do the same? &#160;Silverada marks a new chapter in the band's history. It's not just the title of the boldest release of the group's critically-acclaimed career; it's also the name of the reinvigorated band itself.]]></description>

Every bit an instant classic as only she can masterfully create, Julie Doiron emanates a radiative force with nothing more than her guitar and her unmistakably indomitable voice. Julie Doiron is a maker of songs and a teller of stories, wielding her instruments like a craftsperson would their tools.  In her time away from the solo spotlight she has remained entwined with music, albeit in consortions with others; releasing a critically acclaimed record with members of Cancer Bats and Eamon McGrath under the name Julie and The Wrong Guys, reworking some of her previous work in Spanish for Spanish label Acuarela and returning to her otherworldly collaboration with Mount Eerie for Lost Wisdom pt 2, to name but a few. These are additions to Julie&#8217;s long and storied history of collaboration, working with luminaries like Gord Downie, Herman Dune, a split record with Okkervil River, and the unforgettable and iconic Eric&#8217;s Trip, the first Canadian band ever signed to legendary American record label Sub Pop.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[18+ Standing Room Only Show &#124;&#160;17 and under admitted with a parent or guardian Advance tickets may also be purchased in person at the General Store by card only (no cash) &#160; With the arrival of their debut EP Life and Life Only, The Heavy Heavy immediately filled a longtime void in the musical landscape, delivering a soulful breed of rock &#38; roll untouched by modern artifice. As audiences across the globe grew enchanted with their era-bending sound, the UK-based band began selling out headline shows in major cities like New York and Chicago, opening for the likes of Black Pumas and Band of Horses, and earning critical comparisons to Jefferson Airplane, The Band, The Mamas &#38; The Papas, and more&#8212;all with only a handful of songs to their name, including the AAA radio top five singles &#8220;Miles and Miles&#8221; and &#8220;Go Down River.&#8221; After spending the past two years on the road and in the studio, The Heavy Heavy now draw listeners even deeper into their dreamworld with their long-awaited debut album One Of A Kind. Written entirely by co-founders Georgie Fuller and William Turner and mostly recorded at Turner&#8217;s studio in Brighton, One Of A Kind maintains the self-contained approach of Life and Life Only&#8212;a seven-song project acclaimed by outlets like NME (who named them an essential emerging artist for 2023) and The Guardian (who noted that The Heavy Heavy &#8220;write and play music with that lick of madness that makes early Fleetwood Mac and peak Stones so thrilling&#8221;). To that end, Turner produced, engineered, and mixed every track and handled most of the LP&#8217;s lavish instrumentation (including guitar, bass, piano, organ, Mellotron, and more), with The Heavy Heavy&#8217;s live band lending their explosive energy to the album. But in a departure from the EP, One Of A Kind leans away from Laurel Canyon-esque folk-rock and fully embraces their British roots, finding a particularly crucial inspiration in the gritty and groove-heavy hedonism of the Rolling Stones&#8217; Goats Head Soup. &#8220;A lot of our EP was very bright and pretty, so we wanted to smash the door down like we do in the live show,&#8221; says Turner. &#8220;Because we were creating an entire album, there was so much more space to explore and expand,&#8221; Fuller adds. &#8220;It&#8217;s still undoubtedly that Heavy Heavy sound, but now we have all these other rooms to play around in.&#8221;]]></description>

Since 1989, the roots rockers have played thousands of shows and countless festivals including Bonnaroo, Newport Folk Festival, Telluride, Austin City Limits Festival, Merle Fest, and Philadelphia Folk Festival.&#160;They&#8217;ve opened for The Dead and have toured with Peter Rowan, Del McCoury, Los Lobos, Little Feat, Jim Lauderdale, Rusted Root, and Railroad Earth to name a few. They also toured with Ben &#38; Jerry&#8217;s co-founder Ben Cohen to help raise awareness about increased corporate spending in politics.&#160;In 1991, the band started the Finger Lakes Grassroots Festival in Trumansburg, NY. The four day festival has become an annual destination for over 15,000 music lovers every year and was started as an AIDS benefit. It continues as a benefit for arts and education. To date, the event has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars and is now one of three Grassroots Festivals; the Bi-annual Shakori Hills fest in North Carolina and Virginia Key festival in Florida. In 2016 GrassRoots Culture Camp was introduced in Trumansburg, New York as four days of music, art, dance and movement workshops, including nightly dinners and dances.]]></description>

Luther&#8217;s first national tour was the RL Burnside Ass Pocket of Whiskey tour in 1997, selling out shows in the US and Canada. &#8220;Kenny Brown hired me to tour with RL and Cedric and showed me the ropes.

Hailing from Ann Arbor, MI, Pajamas' style has been described as &#8220;exploratory rock" - a good descriptor for Pajamas&#8217; sound which contains a smorgasbord of influences from across almost the whole canon of American music tradition. This four man group is redefining the live music experience, standing on the shoulders of giants and crafting performances that are as much about the journey as the destination. The band&#8217;s rocky overall sound is nuanced, feeling almost like each song is an interesting, in-depth conversation between the band and audience. The band's four members - Nicholas Orr, Graham Low, Owen Kellenberger, and Liam Gallegos - weave together a tapestry of sound that is both intricate and expansive. Songs blend seamlessly into one another, creating a sense of flow and continuity that is all too rare in modern music. Pajamas draws influence from the likes of Pink Floyd, Phish, Chick Corea, Grateful Dead, Jaco Pastorius, David Bowie, Brian Blade, Radiohead, Victor Wooten, Allman Brothers and many others. Since 2018, Pajamas has played hundreds of shows across the Midwest and beyond. From festivals like Summer Camp and big stages like Frederik Meijer Garden Amphitheater they&#8217;ve shared the stage with nationally touring acts including Goose, Aqueous, Thornetta Davis, Karina Rykman and many others.]]></description>

That's how Pepper describes their blend of reggae, alternative rock, dub, island rhythms, and&#160;punk rock&#160;energy. It's a sound that's taken the trio from the Big Island of Hawaii &#8212; where vocalist/guitarist Kaleo&#160;Wassman, vocalist/bassist Bret Bollinger, and drummer&#160;Yesod&#160;Williams held their first band practice as teenagers in the late 1990s &#8212; to the upper reaches of Billboard's Reggae Albums chart, where 2019's&#160;Local Motion&#160;peaked at Number 1.&#160; Nearly 25&#160;years into the band's career, Pepper's three members are no longer merely artists.&#160;They're&#160;ambassadors to a thriving scene. As co-founders of their own record label, LAW Records,&#160;they've&#160;enriched the reggae community worldwide by reissuing albums by Steel Pulse and Jimmy Cliff and releasing more than 20 other artists. As road warriors,&#160;they've&#160;traveled North America with The Wailers, 311, Pennywise, and Snoop Dogg, building a diverse community of collaborators and fans by blurring the boundaries that normally exist between genres. For Pepper, each new album is an opportunity not only to pay homage to their own reggae-rock roots, but also to expand the circle of connection, camaraderie, and&#160;synergy&#160;that surrounds the band. &#160;&#160;]]></description>

On their new album The Last Balloon, the New Orleans-bred outfit channel those impulses into something celebratory yet profoundly human, exploring themes of frustration, resilience, and self-realization with equal parts raw emotionality and playful exuberance. A shapeshifting collective helmed by lead singer Tarriona &#8220;Tank&#8221; Ball and multi-instrumentalist Norman Spence II, the globally beloved group completed the LP after winning a GRAMMY for 2024&#8217;s spoken-word powerhouse The Heart, The Mind, The Soul, moving from incendiary poetry to a euphoric collision of soul and hip-hop and forward-thinking R&#38;B. As the final installment in a trilogy of albums that began with 2019&#8217;s Green Balloon (a critical triumph that earned them a GRAMMY nomination for Best New Artist), The Last Balloon ultimately solidifies Tank and the Bangas&#8217; legacy as one of modern music&#8217;s most steadfast voices of sublime exhilaration.]]></description>

The band's twelfth studio production, titled&#160;Mass Manipulation, reflects four decades committed to bettering mankind through music. Steel Pulse songs and lyrics continue to engage controversial topics of racial injustice and human rights on a global scale. Themes are as potent and relevant today as they were at the beginning of their career. Hailing from Birmingham, England, Steel Pulse emerged in 1975 with music that provokes thought toward global unification. Songs like &#8220;Chant a Psalm&#8221; have landed on Rolling Stone&#8217;s Top 200 Best Songs list of the 1980s, and the six-time Grammy nominated group won the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album for&#160;Babylon the Bandit.&#160;Lead singer and guitarist, David Hinds&#8217; creativity, human persona, and visionary views are revealed through inspiring compositions that capture the effects of the African Diaspora. As reggae revolutionaries, Steel Pulse is revered by the younger generation of artists and remains a powerhouse on stages around the globe. Through the example of&#160;Mass Manipulation, Steel Pulse demonstrates the endless&#160;possibilities that come from breaking down the walls of systemic greed and nurturing the fellowship of mankind.&#160; &#160;]]></description>

Formed in 2019 by a tight-knit&#160;squad of college friends, the band outfits their soulful Americana with muscular guitar grit, yet remains&#160;tuneful and melodic. They&#8217;ve carved out a singular niche for themselves in the rich songwriting tradition of&#160;their home state, as evidenced by their debut Warner Records single &#8220;5AM.&#8221; Anchored by the&#160;heart-baring songwriting and booming voice of former Marine Pecos Hurley, the band is rounded out by&#160;top-tier players and songwriters Brandon Jones (rhythm guitar), Jessie Santos (lead guitar), Kalen&#160;Davis (bass), Garrett Peltier (drums) and Hunter Cassell (guitars &#38; keys). Pecos &#38; The Rooftops have earned a devoted fan base who&#8217;ve come out to support them both online and on the road, with the band garnering over 350 million global streams and more than 101 million&#160;video views. They&#8217;re currently on a nationwide headline tour with more dates to be announced soon.&#160;&#8220;5AM&#8221; is a telling preview of what&#8217;s to come, as Pecos &#38; The Rooftops ready their major label debut&#160;LP&#8212;a bigger, bolder collection of songs set for release later this year. &#8220;At the end of the day, I just want to&#160;help people with our music, honestly,&#8221; Hurley says. Between the band&#8217;s wild road shows and their&#160;highly-anticipated upcoming full-length, Pecos &#38; the Rooftops are set to do that and much, much more. &#160;]]></description>

Arriving just months before the 30th anniversary&#160;of Hitchhike to Rhome&#8212;a powerhouse debut that played a vital part in pioneering&#160;the alt-country genre&#8212;the result is a gloriously rowdy body of work, revealing a&#160;veteran band more attuned than ever to the raw and reckless energy of truly&#160;timeless rock-and-roll. &#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[2026 Bell's Beer Garden Summer Concert Series This is a 18 and over event&#160; - 17 and under admitted with a parent or guardian Warner Music Nashville&#8217;s rising star, Redferrin, has quickly become one of country music&#8217;s most electrifying new voices. Much like the iconic Old No. 7 whiskey, crafted in Tennessee just like Redferrin, his music delivers a bold, but welcome, punch. Redferrin&#8217;s unique blend of country roots and hip-hop swagger is a fresh take on modern country, and with his new, highly anticipated, sophomore EP, Some City, Somewhere, he&#8217;s primed to make an even bigger impact.&#160;&#160; Redferrin&#8217;s debut EP, Old No. 7 (which released February 16, 2024), featured seven songs, all co-written and co-produced by the Tennessee native. Old No. 7 proved to be massively successful, boasting over 275 million global streams, spawning viral hits as &#8220;Just Like Johnny&#8221; and &#8220;Jack and Diet Coke,&#8221; both of which have earned RIAA GOLD certifications, amassing 167M and 121M global streams respectively, and landing a coveted spot on Spotify&#8217;s Viral 50 (US) chart. To top it off, fellow Tennessee native Juicy J gave &#8220;Jack and Diet Coke&#8221; a hip-hop remix that took the already hit song in a bold new direction. On the heels of his debut EP, and ahead of the new music coming on Some City, Somewhere, Redferrin took his style of music to the fans. In 2024, Redferrin SOLD OUT nearly 30 of his 44 headlining shows, played 22 festivals including the UK&#8217;s Country-2-Country, Barefoot Country Music Festival, CMA Music Fest, Tailgates and Tallboys, Cavendish Beach Music Fest, Boots in the Park, and Boots and Hearts Festival to name a few. He shared the stage with legends like Niko Moon, Billy Currington, and Russell Dickerson, and in August 2024, he took his talent overseas with a UK tour, hitting cities like Glasgow, Manchester, Bristol, and London.&#160; Named a 2024 Amazon Breakthrough Artist to Watch and part of the RIAA Class of 2024, Redferrin has already surpassed 400 million global streams, cementing his status as one of country music&#8217;s fastest-rising stars. In addition to his own songs, Redferrin&#8217;s songwriting credits can be found among other hit-making artists such as Florida Georgia Line&#8217;s &#8220;Lil Bit&#8221; featuring Nelly, &#8220;New Truck,&#8221; and Dean Brody &#38; The Reklaws&#8217; massive hit &#8220;Can&#8217;t Help Myself.&#8221; Originally from White House, Tennessee, Redferrin&#8217;s journey to country music stardom started on the national Arenacross circuit before his passion for songwriting led him to Nashville. With Some City, Somewhere on the horizon, it&#8217;s clear that Redferrin&#8217;s story is just beginning, and the best is yet to come.]]></description>

But the inspiration for the song dates back to the time Roger went to Taipei, Taiwan, as a college student to teach English during the day and busk with his guitar at night for money. Today, as Clyne prepares to release his 11th studio album, he continues to transform his life experiences, inspirations, observations and his own muses into timeless music. And whether he&#8217;s wearing his Converse high tops, boots or sandals, Clyne&#8217;s blend of punk rock, americana, indie-pop and mariachi influences have made him, drummer PH Naffah, guitarist Jim Dalton and bassist Nick Scropos &#8211; collectively known as Roger Clyne &#38; The Peacemakers &#8211; one of America&#8217;s best live rock-n-roll bands. Starting with the seminal Tempe quartet, The Refreshments, Clyne and Naffah put the fun in rock &#38; roll during the 90s grunge era with a sense of humor. They also started what would become a trademark sound on all future albums by adding mariachi horns, something Clyne was influenced by while in college studying Cultural Anthropology with an ethnography study of mariachis during a three month Spanish-immersion stay with a local family in Ensenada, Mexico. The Refreshments&#8217; debut album, &#8220;Fizzy, Fuzzy, Big &#38; Buzzy,&#8221; became a cult classic. It produced the alternative radio hits &#8220;Banditos&#8221; and &#8220;Down Together&#8221; which also had significant airplay on MTV and earned The Refreshments an appearance on The Conan O&#8217;Brien Show. Clyne then penned and performed the theme song for the Mike Judge animated TV series, King of Hill. In 2017, Here&#8217;s to Life: The story of The Refreshments, was released. The feature-length documentary was a hit with fans and critics alike.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[This is a 18+ event with standing room only&#124; &#160;17 under with a parent or guardian Advance tickets may also be purchased in person at the General Store by card only (no cash) Now&#160;Would&#160;Be A&#160;Good&#160;Time, their debut album, tells vivid, visceral stories, and is funny and darkly ironic in the manner of writers like Mary Gaitskill or Otessa Moshfegh. Their music sounds familiar, but the songs are modern, youthful, singing acutely through dissociative daydreams and galling breakups, sexual fantasies and media overload, all the petty resentments and minor humiliations of being in your early twenties in the 2020s. &#160; &#160; &#8220;Cathode Ray&#8221; opens with caution, its first harmonies arriving in big, looping sighs. It&#8217;s vulnerable but a little menacing, with a wide open chorus and a spacious, airy beat anchoring everything. &#8220;Moth Song&#8221;, a song about unrequited love and &#8220;being so spun out by everything that you feel like you&#8217;re delusional and hallucinating crazy things,&#8221; forms the album&#8217;s spare centrepiece, Anita Clark&#8217;s undulating violin part drifting in and out of focus as if from a dream. &#160; &#160; Other songs aren&#8217;t as oblique, instead chronicling brutally familiar moments at the end of relationships: The tense, emotionally volatile torch song &#8220;The Actor&#8221;, says Peverelle, is about &#8220;going to your partner&#8217;s one-woman show and then getting broken up with&#8221;. &#8220;Hotel TV&#8221;, a hypnotic, late-night reverie, is about &#8220;having a sex dream about somebody else while next to your partner, and your partner being a liar,&#8221; explains Pilkington. &#160; &#160; The strongest link between the trio, aside from friendship, is music. &#8220;We all talked about loving music when we were growing up, and knowing we wanted music to be a big part of our lives,&#8221; says Pilkington. That feeling&#8212;of music as an innate calling, as opposed to hobby or folly&#8212;was justified: Folk Bitch Trio have already toured across Australia, Europe and the US, supporting bands as disparate as King Gizzard, Alex G and Julia Jacklin. They&#8217;ve signed with Jagjaguwar, a home for singular icons and iconoclasts (Bon Iver, Angel Olsen, Sharon Van Etten, UMO and others), and they&#8217;ve found their first diehard fans with dazzling harmonies and acerbic lyricism that transcend genre expectations and audience lines. &#160; &#160; These are the stakes: Learning how to live a life free of lovesickness and loser exes, when to sink into contemporary nihilism and when to have a laugh with your friends, and why being alive can feel so ephemeral and unreal.

                                <description><![CDATA[2026 Bell's Beer Garden Summer Concert Series This is a 18 and over event&#160; - 17 and under admitted with a parent or guardian saturdays at your place - I'd Rather Be In Michigan!w/ Harrison Gordon, Worry Club, Liquid Mike, Kerosene Heights, &#160;FinalBossFight!, &#160;no problemo! &#38; Satsuma There&#8217;s something kinda magical about naming your band saturdays at your place. Right off the bat, it calls to mind images of collapsing onto a friend&#8217;s couch at the end of a long week, and the kind of nights that turn into stories you&#8217;ll tell for years to come. For the band from Kalamazoo, Michigan, it&#8217;s more than just a name; it&#8217;s what&#8217;s held them together through college and the strange process of becoming an adult. Whether unpacking tour burn out or the shame of outgrowing your past, they&#8217;re constantly rejecting irony in favor of something much bolder: sincerity. On their upcoming second full-length, these things happen (out September 12), saturdays at your place take everything that made their early material resonate&#8212;twinkly guitars, heart-on-sleeve songwriting, a distinctly Midwestern ache&#8212;and stretch it into something even more resonant. It&#8217;s a record about growing up without growing cold, and it&#8217;s also a testament to where they&#8217;re from, both literally and musically. Formed by three friends who met at Western Michigan University, the band&#8212;Esden Stafne (vocals/bass), Gabe Wood (vocals/drums), and Mitch Gulish (guitar)&#8212;have always used music as a way to map the wretched trajectory of growing up. But on these things happen, they&#8217;ve stopped asking for directions and started finding their own way through the chaos. The result is a heartfelt, emotionally chaotic and self-aware glimpse at adulthood in all its many complexities. A lot of inspiration for the record came from Paul Thomas Anderson&#8217;s 1999 film, Magnolia.&#160; Channeling the gut-punch angst of bands like Modern Baseball and Hot Mulligan, lead single &#8220;waste away&#8221; is a standout moment about both wishing you were dead AND remembering how much fun life can be, too. Elsewhere, &#8220;what am I supposed to do?&#8221; finds the band reflecting on individuality and people-pleasing; and &#8220;I&#8217;d rather be in michigan&#8221; is an attempt to capture the struggle of finding stability amidst a nonstop tour cycle. Then there&#8217;s the gut-wrenching closing track, &#8220;i give in.&#8221; A cinematic portrayal of codependency and trauma, it wraps the album in a sort of quiet comfort, one that comes to terms with the shared weight of what we all carry in our day-to-day lives. &#8220;I wanted to write that song for a long time,&#8221; Gabe says. &#8220;I&#8217;ve never felt like I was the right person to offer any sort of unique perspective on that kind of situation, I really didn&#8217;t want to get it wrong. But being open and honest about it is actually what I needed to finally let go and forgive and move on.&#8221; The hype for saturdays at your place first kicked off with their 2023 EP, always cloudy, and has since blossomed into a steadily-building wave of momentum. &#8220;tarot cards&#8221; instantly had fans on&#160;the hook with its undeniable melody and quirky pronunciation, but the entire record has since gone on to cement their place as one of the most exciting modern emo bands around. And while always cloudy was a strong introduction, these things happen marks a decidedly more introspective future for saturdays at your place; it&#8217;s also the first music they&#8217;ve released since 2023.&#160; &#160; &#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[2026 Bell's Beer Garden Summer Concert Series This is a 18 and over event&#160; - 17 and under admitted with a parent or guardian There are few contemporary bands who can do musical reinvention quite as consistently as Black Country, New Road. From their Mercury Music Prize-nominated debut For the First Time, which touched upon everything from jazz to post-rock via klezmer music, to the art-rock meets chamber pop follow up Ants&#160;From&#160;Up There (both top 5 charting albums). Then when singer Isaac Wood amicably left shortly after, they wrote&#160;an entire set&#160;of new songs to tour which ended up on Live at Bush Hall, an&#160;album The Guardian claimed was a &#8220;magical resurgence&#8221; in a triumphant five-star review. Now, on studio album three, the&#160;band&#160;are once again building from the ground up in yet another miraculous musical transformation. &#8220;Bush Hall was a really fun project to find our feet in,&#8221; says Charlie Wayne. &#8220;But we toured it to&#160;death&#160;and we were done with those songs. This album is a new statement of intent for us as a six-piece.&#8221; The band have now settled into a new shape in which vocal duties &#8211; and most of the songwriting &#8211; is split between Tyler Hyde, Georgia Ellery, and May Kershaw. &#8220;It created a real through line for the album, having three girls singing," says Ellery. "It's definitely very different to Ants&#160;From&#160;Up There, because of the female perspective - and the music we've made also compliments that."&#160; &#160;]]></description>

Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, a city rich in character and music history, this six-piece performance powerhouse carves their own path with an independent mentality. Front man Roads, explores feelings more than sounds, seeing where the emotional travel can take him, while valuing being comfortable and honest. &#160; There is a sense of seeing where the music can go on their 2024 new album. As an everyman-band making music to overcome life&#8217;s obstacles, the &#8220;goals&#8221; that Tropidelic made when starting the band have all been surpassed. Roads says of the band&#8217;s future, &#8220;I&#8217;m nose to the grindstone. It&#8217;s going great and I am going to keep going.&#8221; &#160; The past year has included a first pitch at a Cleveland Guardians game followed by a live performance for the entire stadium; an adopted highway in their hometown; producing two of their own festivals (Sunny Days and Everwild Music Festival); tens of millions of streams of Tropidelic&#8217;s music; appearances at major US festivals such as Beach Life and Tortuga; tours with The Dirty Heads, Lupe Fiasco, 311, and Michael Franti; and their first performance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[This is a 18+ event with standing room only &#124; Advance tickets may also be purchased in person at the General Store by card only (no cash) After 23 years as a recording artist, singer-songwriter Chris Knight remains boldly empowered to make music that always delivers the unflinching truth. In fact, the man raised in Slaughters, Kentucky uses a simple, direct barometer to regularly check his muse: &#8220;If I can&#8217;t believe myself, I won&#8217;t sing the song.&#8221; That brutally honest, no-frills philosophy fits his Americana-fueled, backwoods-grown merger of folk, country, and rock. It&#8217;s been at the backbone of nine studio albums, beginning with 1998&#8217;s acclaimed self-titled debut and traveling through scorchers such as the one-two punch of 2001&#8217;s A Pretty Good Guy and 2003&#8217;s The Jealous Kind, two demo-styled discs (2007&#8217;s The Trailer Tapes and 2009&#8217;s Trailer II), and the recent, electric guitar-fortified opus, 2019&#8217;s Almost Daylight. &#160; Because Knight&#8217;s music has always sat outside of the mainstream, onstage is where he makes his fans one show at a time. It is exactly where his searing tales of rural characters, fringe survivors, and tumultuous small-town existence find a captivated audience. A few edgy, raw gems that immediately come to mind are &#8220;It Ain&#8217;t Easy Being Me,&#8221; &#8220;Carla Came Home,&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;m William Callahan,&#8221; and &#8220;Everybody&#8217;s Lonely Now,&#8221; the latter two from Almost Daylight.&#160; What Knight writes about is what he knows. He was raised in mining country, so it&#8217;s no surprise that he would earn a degree in agriculture from Western Kentucky University and then work as a mine reclamation inspector and then miner&#8217;s consultant. But eventually his passion for writing songs and playing guitar, both inspired by his musical hero, the late John Prine, led him to chronicle his surroundings in words and music.&#160;]]></description>

With collaborations featuring original Coral Reefers Peter Mayer and Jim Mayer, Jammy Buffet&#160;is quickly making waves in the Gulf &#38; Western world, bringing fresh musicianship and modern&#160;jam sensibilities to Buffett&#8217;s storied catalog.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[2026 Bell's Beer Garden Summer Concert Series This is a 18 and over event&#160; - 17 and under admitted with a parent or guardian There are Mountain Goats albums that emerge from historical deep dives, vividly rendered autobiography, liturgical exploration, and modern anthropological study. Through This Fire Across From Peter Balkan came from a dream. In May 2023, John Darnielle took to his phone in the middle of the night to document a title from somewhere in his subconscious. Because this is the Mountain Goats&#8212;a band known for avoiding the easy route, always challenging themselves to push a step beyond&#8212;Darnielle not only decided to complete this mysterious project but also to deliver it as a full-on musical that stands as the most conceptually detailed and musically elaborate project in the band&#8217;s ever-expanding catalog. &#8220;I loved musicals when I was a kid,&#8221; Darnielle explains, &#8220;but I hadn&#8217;t really indulged in them that much until the last 7 years or so. And then we did Jenny From Thebes, which I called a &#8216;fake musical&#8217; a lot... But this one actually is going for it.&#8221; Produced by the Mountain Goats&#8217; multi-instrumentalist Matt Douglas, who also co-wrote several songs, the record is embracing, inviting, and overflowing with melody and orchestration that extends far beyond the boundaries of their past work. &#8220;My approach is more arrangement-based,&#8221; Douglas says of his role. &#8220;I&#8217;m trying to sculpt the shape of the songs with the layering of instruments that are suiting the song best&#8230; I am sometimes a bit of a maximalist with that stuff. Sometimes more is more!&#8221;&#160; Working at Dreamland Recording Studios in Hudson, New York, the Mountain Goats have crafted a record that matches the emotional vulnerability of their previous career peaks while filling up a larger space than ever. This may be like a bleak story to tell, a common thread of Mountain Goats concept albums.&#160;]]></description>

This current classic line-up has remained intact since the mid-1980s, continuing to regularly tour and release new music through to now.&#160; Theirs is an improbable history &#8211; a surprising and influential embrace of folk and country music with occasional forays into the art world. They have always worked collaboratively and collectively with all work credited to the band, never to individuals. Their mind-boggling output consistently blurs the lines between high art and low and has included exhibitions in the UK and US, a deranged pirate musical recorded and staged with Kathy Acker, an art performance with Vito Acconci, and several books including the unique art catalog/unfinished novel&#160;Mekons&#160;United.&#160; &#160;"Revenge of the&#160;mekons", a documentary about the band received nationwide release in 2015 on Music Box Films.&#160; The&#160;mekons&#160;continue to make bold, unpredictable music while staying true to the punk ethos. Their mind-boggling output consistently blurs the lines between high art and low and they remain one of the truly great live bands.&#160;&#160; The band released their latest album "Horror" on Fire Records in early 2025.&#160; A dub album of Horror remixed by Grammy nominee Tony Maimone (Pere Ubu) will be released on Fire Records in the summer of 2026.&#160;]]></description>

Dogs In A Pile, an eclectic quintet, has emerged as the heir apparent to the town&#8217;s rich musical legacy. Merging funk, jazz, and rock and roll with psychedelia, the band presents a completely original vibe built on kaleidoscopic soundscapes eerily reminiscent of the days of yesteryear. The Dogs employ a unified approach to performance and songwriting, crafting aural mosaics through adept instrumentation and humble precocity. As avid storytellers, they draw inspiration from personal experiences, balancing life&#8217;s foibles with ever-present youthful sanguinity. Dogs formed when Jersey Shore native and guitar gun-slinger Jimmy Law began playing with family friend Joe Babick (drums) at a young age. Lightning struck when they were introduced to Berklee School of Music student and bass player Sam Lucid, who immediately suggested fellow Berklee student and keyboard player Jeremy Kaplan. The addition of Berklee student Brian Murray (guitar) in 2019 made for the quintessential final piece in the Dogs&#8217; puzzle. A string of sold-out local shows drove the development of a massive Northeast fan base, affectionately known as the Dog Pound. As the band has traversed new territory, their astronomical rise has continued nationwide. Armed with an evolving catalog of material and cultivation of an identity unique to Dogs In A Pile, the quintet is laying down a musical and communal foundation most often associated with the scene's most beloved acts. &#160;]]></description>
