Advance tickets may also be purchased in person at the General Store by card only (no cash).&#160; &#160; After dropping their anthemic single &#8220;Legendary&#8221; in 2017, the indie rock world was quickly&#160;introduced to Welshly Arms&#8217; penchant for unleashing larger-than-life alt-rock bangers and spine-tingling live performances. Their 2018 album No Place is Home has garnered over 375M total streams and provides a sensational musical journey that hits all the swaggery notes.

The sextet&#8217;s acclaimed debut LP, Stories from the Lower Leisure Class, supplies &#8220;an unmistakable, identifiable restless sound,&#8221; according to Local Spins&#8217; Ryan Boldrey. &#8220;To see this group shape their music around those stories is where things take off,&#8221; writes Derek Phillips at Glorious Noise. &#8220;It&#8217;s new, but steeped in nostalgia and references any good midwesterner will recognize.&#8221; With stage skills burnished to a fine shine as members of powerhouse Michigan bands including King Tammy, the Sinatras, and the Sleestacks &#8211; all of whose Leppotone recordings command a cult following to this day &#8211; the LLC move audiences to dance, sing along, activate, and engage. NO BAILS: NO BAILS are a goofy-footed sk8 rock 3peace from Kalamazoo, MI. From the shores of the Mighty Miss in Saint Louis to the shores of the Atlantic Ocean in New York City, from shores of Lake Huron in Port Huron to Gulf of Mexico in New Orleans, No Bails has left&#8230; impressions everywhere they&#8217;ve played, perhaps. Proudly sponsored by Epyx Joysticks, Rag'n Metal, Doan&#8217;s, and Onion Dice. This will be their first show since 2019. They&#8217;re back, and aching, and back-aching to play! KRASS KRINGLE: Krass Kringle is a world famous holiday tune-master and Christmas crooner. Hailing from the South Pole, where he was raised by Satanic penguins, Krass Kringle is beloved by no one for his offensive, foul and sacreligious seasonal favorites such as "Santa's Beard Smells Like P@#*y," "Santa Gave Me HIV," and "Merry Christmas, Mother F*&#38;@%!"(No socials for&#160;Krass Kringle.&#160;KK&#160;performs strictly in character and keeps his identity a secret for reasons.)]]></description>

The trio met through Silkroad&#8217;s Global Musician Workshop, initially bonding over their shared love of Brazilian music. The artists quickly began co-writing new music that draws on the freestyle theatrics of hip-hop and Go-go music; the effortless beauty of Brazilian&#160;forr&#243;&#160;and&#160;choro; the earthiness of American roots music, and the improvisational spontaneity of jazz. Birib&#225; Union is on a mission to embody cultural acceptance and unification through music &#8212; but always with an infectious groove to hook audiences in.

                                <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; Prince Daddy &#38; the Hyena emerged in 2014 with an affable blend of gallows humor and smartly crafted slacker punk that traffics in elements of power pop, emo, post-hardcore, and indie rock. They issued two EPs before releasing their full-length debut, 2016's&#160;I Thought You Didn't Even Like Leaving. The band grew more ambitious with subsequent efforts&#160;Cosmic Thrill Seekers (2019) and&#160;Prince Daddy &#38; the Hyena (2022), both of which were concept LPs. They returned with their fourth album,&#160;Hotwire Trip Switch, in 2026. Based out of Albany, New York, the band features Kory Gregory (vocals, guitar), Cameron Handford (guitar), Daniel Gorham (drums, vocals), and Adam Dasilva (bass). Initially comprised of Gregory, drummer Alex Ziembiec, and bass player Zakariya Houacine, the group released their debut EP, Skip Cutscenes! Blow Loud!, shortly after forming. In 2015, they inked a deal with Broken World Media and released a second EP, Adult Summers, with the full-length&#160;I Thought You Didn't Even Like Leaving arriving the following year. Ziembiec left the fold in 2017 and was replaced by new drummer Daniel Gorham, who made his studio debut on the band's sophomore long-player, 2019's Counter Intuitive Records-issued&#160;Cosmic Thrill Seekers. Citing the punk rock world-building of&#160;My Chemical Romance and&#160;Green Day as influences, the mental health-oriented LP followed a three-act narrative that mirrored the structure (and some of the themes) of The Wizard of Oz. Adam Dasilva took over bass duties ahead of the release of the group's third full-length effort. Their first outing for Pure Noise, 2022's&#160;Prince Daddy &#38; the Hyena saw the band deliver another concept LP, this time inspired by frontman Kory Gregory's near paralyzing fear of death. The album featured the singles "Curly Q" and "A Random Exercise in Impermanence (The Collector)." For their fourth album the group re-signed to Counter Intuitive and brought in Jordan Chmielowski on bass, replacing DaSilva. They also teamed up with&#160;Algernon Cadwallader's&#160;Joe Reinhart on production, who had worked on the band's full-length debut. The resulting&#160;Hotwire Trip Switch, was issued in early 2026, preceded by the tracks "Big-Box Store Heart" and "30days30days30days."]]></description>

Well known for bringing unrivaled energy to the stage with sing-along anthems, double-brother harmonies, and a powerful message that combined make for one of the most captivating live shows ever! Frontman Nathan Thoen's passionate conviction and &#8216;Jagger-like&#8217; dance moves even impressed billionaire and music industry icon Sir Richard Branson, quoting &#8220;I haven&#8217;t seen this type of energy since The Rolling Stones!&#8221; &#8211; and he would know, having personally signed The Rolling Stones to Virgin Records. The band began with lead singer Nathan Thoen and guitarist Spencer Chilliak after the two spontaneously met and drove 16 hours to attend Sasquatch Music Festival where they became inspired to start a band. The duo wrote their debut single &#8220;Let It Grow&#8221; during their very first writing session and as part of Bombargo&#8217;s debut EP Back on Main which would go on to be included in &#8220;The Top 10 Best Saskatchewan Albums of 2015&#8221; by SaskMusic. This further inspired them to continue writing, touring, and release their first full-length album titled We Are Bombargo. The group has since evolved into a 5-piece touring band adding Nathan&#8217;s brother Anthony Thoen on guitar, additional brothers Matt and Sammy Folkersen on keys and bass respectively, and Niall Cubbon on drums. &#160; Bombargo &#8220;VIP, In Spite Of Everything&#8221; Experience - Early Access to Venue - Acoustic performance and hang with the band. - Limited edition signed poster and VIP Laminate. - Photo with Bombargo - Early Access to Merch &#160; VIP UPGRADE INCLUDES A TICKET TO THE SHOW.]]></description>

Their 2000 sophomore album Dead Reckoning earned international acclaim and a 5-star review from Kerrang, who praised its "unrivaled depth of emotion." The band toured relentlessly, sharing stages with Hot Water Music, Cursive, Sparta, Cave In, and many others. In 2003, they released The River Bed on Lookout! Records before breaking up later that year. They reunited in 2006 and officially returned in 2009, recording their fourth album Fell &#38; Found in 2011 with producer J Robbins. AV Club praised them as "one of the best purveyors of this sound." The band continued to play shows and festivals through 2016, eventually going on an indefinite hiatus. In 2023, tragedy struck with the passing of one of their founding members, Travis Dopp, after a three-year battle with cancer. In 2026, the remaining founding members&#8212;Mike Reed, Ben Reed, and Dan Jaquint&#8212;announced shows to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their breakout record, Dead Reckoning, and honor the 30-year anniversary of the band's founding.

                                <description><![CDATA[2026 Bell's Beer Garden Summer Concert Series This is an 18 and over event&#160; - 17 and under admitted with a parent or guardian &#160; Joe Hertler &#38; The Rainbow Seekers will make a sprightly young groove doctor out of anyone. With spectacular energy pulsating from every member of the band, the Rainbow Seekers could illuminate the very chambers of Heaven. Lead singer Joe Hertler splashes through lyrical puddles of golden rain, leaving his audience wearing flowery crowns and bubbling smiles. A ride on the Rainbow will take you across the mountains of Motown, through the fjords of folk, over the archipelagos of Americana, and-at last-into a funky firth, where only the fiercest of friendships can be found. The Rainbow Seekers began their historic quest 8 years ago, revolving around the pure, unadulterated songwriting of their fearless leader, Joe Hertler. Ryan Hoger was the first among the Seekers to find this lonely songsmith and recognize the twinkling magic in his beard. The young boy gave up all his earthly possessions (besides his guitar, of course) and became the first disciple of the Rainbow. With this, the core of the Rainbow was thereby established, and it didn&#8217;t take long for the Rainbow Seekers to continue their expansion. Multi-instrumentalist and notable auxiliary percussion maestro Micah Bracken journeyed from the bowels of Atlantis when he heard tell of the Rainbow, and the earth trembled as saxophonist and all-around badass Aaron Stinson descended from Olympus on a golden rainbow of his own. Then came thunder from the depths of space, and as it picked up the bass, a soft exhale escaped the lips of every princess within a hundred moons, &#8220;Bambis,&#8221; they cooed. All the while, on the other ends of the earth, a young boy was hard at work, honing and sharpening his sticks for the day that the Rainbow would come his way, and when it landed at his door, Ryan McMahon climbed aboard. &#160; VIP MERCH tickets include: - entry&#160; - signed poster]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[18+ Standing Room Only Show &#124; 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) Working with guitars, drum machine, sampler, self-built electronics, and all manner of percussion, BASIC, the trio of Chris Forsyth, Mikel Patrick Avery, and Douglas McCombs, synthesize the vast influences and distinct histories of each member, producing a boundary-less, rhythm-forward amalgam of art rock, trance jazz, collective improvisation, and humming electronics on their new eponymous full-length, out June 12, 2026 on No Quarter. Philadelphia&#8217;s Chris Forsyth, known for his lyrical guitar compositions and mercurial improvisations as leader of the Solar Motel Band, founded BASIC in 2022 naming the project in homage to the 1984 Robert Quine/Fred Maher album &#8220;Basic,&#8221; yes, but also to indicate a desire to get down to fundamentals rhythmically and musically. Shortly thereafter, fellow Philly denizen Mikel Patrick Avery, whose subtle and propulsive drumming has provided the pulse for Natural Information Society, Marshall Allen&#8217;s Ghost Horizons, and Rob Mazurek&#8217;s Exploding Star Orchestra (amongst other projects), joined, bringing his unique combination of programed beats and acoustic percussion &#8211; a single drum with a metallic bell affixed and a variety of hand percussion run through a self-devised barrage of electronic processors and tonal filters (many controlled in real-time with touch pads) &#8211; to BASIC. Chicago stalwart Douglas McCombs came on board in late 2024 to tour their debut record &#8220;This Is BASIC,&#8221; thereby solidifying the lineup and expanding the group&#8217;s sound. As often heard in his work with Tortoise and Brokeback, McCombs&#8217; playing in BASIC combines a mastery of musical negative space with memorable lines on Fender Bass VI, a six-string instrument with a distinctive twang tuned an octave below a standard guitar, allowing McCombs to function as both bassist and guitarist. After 35+ live gigs touring the first record and the March 2025 release of their merch table- and Bandcamp-only three-song EP &#8220;Dream City,&#8221; &#8220;Basic&#8221; was tracked by Nick Broste in a mere two days in September 2025 at Electrical Audio, the legendary Chicago studio built and operated for many years by the late Steve Albini, with minimal overdubs and a final mix conducted over three days in January at Uniform Recording in Philly with engineer/mixer Jeff Zeigler. As a result of their newfound tour chemistry, it all came together quickly and with minimal pre-production. As Forsyth puts it: &#8220;I&#8217;d say we invented 60% of this record on the spot at Electrical&#8230; This record is exciting for me because I really didn&#8217;t know what it was until we were finished with it.&#8221;]]></description>

Open them and you still might befooled. The Insiders present the premier Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers experience.With 6 veteran musicians and decades of combined stage and touring experience, TheInsiders are genuinely running down the dream. It all starts with frontman Max Lockwood. &#8220;I grew up listening to Tom Petty. My momwould play the Greatest Hits record while she worked out. I&#8217;d sit at the top of the stairsand listen to those songs&#8212;it was my most requested CD as a young kid.&#8221; In high school,Lockwood&#8217;s band Big Dudee Roo started covering Petty songs at their frequent showsin West Michigan. &#8220;Tom Petty was part of the great American landscape to me&#8212;alegend by the time I was musically conscious. We got a great crowd reaction with Pettytunes, and people frequently commented that I sounded a lot like him.&#8221; 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 abenefit concert. After a sold-out show that raised thousands for a local domesticviolence shelter The Insiders decided they wouldn&#8217;t back down. &#8220;We try to honor whatMr. Petty and the Heartbreakers have done for rock and roll each night. We&#8217;re fans ofthe music first and foremost. These songs are woven into the fabric of the Americanidentity.&#8221; They&#8217;ve found no shortage of demand, selling out shows everywhere they go.Local Spins&#8217; John Sinkevics had this to say: &#8220;The Insiders set the bar at a new level forTom Petty tributes.&#8221; The Insiders are based in Grand Rapids, Michigan and currently tour the Midwest andbeyond. They are available for public and private functions.]]></description>

Rent Money now sees him pushing forward yet again in what can be safely declared his finest collection to date, both as an heartfelt expression of personal experience and as no-nonsense social commentary. With its twanging guitars, plucky rhythms, and undeniably captivating melodies, the album soars and swings, its joyous refrains belying the inescapable undercurrent of constant worry and angst that permeates these troubled times. As always, the Illinois native deftly traverses the genre boundaries, seamlessly integrating the myriad strains of 20th-century American music with a freewheeling command of earnest songcraft, inspired performance, and subversive creativity. Rent Money stands tall as an indisputable high-water mark for Pokey LaFarge &#8211; a defining collection from a one-of-a-kind artist of rare ingenuity and uncommon candor, now as ever, determinedly crafting a sure-footed brand of deeply human music all his own.&#160; &#8220;People are always going to tell you what they think you should play,&#8221; says Pokey LaFarge, &#8220;what you should sing about, how you should sound, how you should look, how you should act. And I&#8217;ve always just been like, nah. Nope. I&#8217;ve just completely gone my own way, and hopefully I&#8217;ve been honest and authentic in the process. &#8220;I&#8217;m just trying to make music that AI can&#8217;t replicate. Things are so homogenized right now. That&#8217;s what I&#8217;m really, really, really resistant to, especially when it comes to music. I&#8217;m not going to do it. I&#8217;m not going to conform.&#8221;]]></description>

Gaelic Storm, a multi-national, Celtic juggernaut grows stronger with each live performance, and after two decades and over 2000 shows, they are a true force to be reckoned with. The band attributes their continued success to their fanatic audience, and it&#8217;s a well-diversified crowd for sure &#8211; attracting fans of every genre with their rich storytelling, energetic instrumentals, devotion to Celtic traditions and passion for their stagecraft. They are as loyal to their fans as the fans are to them, as frontman Patrick Murphy states, &#8220;The fans are the ones that have given us this life. We&#8217;re here for them.&#8221; Gaelic Storm takes a true blue-collar, hard-nose approach to touring, consistently traveling the US and internationally forging a unique path in the Celtic music world. &#8220;You have to see us live. We are the true working-man&#8217;s&#8217; band,&#8221; says longtime member Ryan Lacey. &#8220;We still, and most likely always will, tour most of the year, and that&#8217;s how we constantly hone our craft.&#8221; This dedication to their live show dates all the way back to the mid-1990s, when Gaelic Storm kicked off its&#8217; career as a pub band in Santa Monica, California. One which performance led to their discovery that ultimately found the band appearing in the blockbuster film, Titanic (where they performed &#8220;Irish Party in Third Class&#8221;). This laid the groundwork for a career that would eventually find them topping the Billboard World Chart six times, making appearances at mainstream music festivals, and regularly headlining the largest Irish Festivals across the country, all while gaining a reputation as a genre-bending Irish rock band whose songs mix Celtic traditions with something uniquely creative. Recent years have seen the addition of Natalya Kay on fiddle and Parker Hastings on guitar, who both bring their own energy, musicianship and spirit to Gaelic Storm.]]></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>

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>

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>

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>

It's a sound rooted in pop hooks, alt-rock guitars, and the sharp songwriting of frontman Brian Vander Ark. A sound that's taken the band from the golden days of late-'90s modern rock &#8212; when The Verve Pipe enjoyed multi-platinum success with hits like "Photograph,&#8221; &#8220;Never Let You Down&#8221; and the #1 single "The Freshmen" &#8212; to the rule-breaking creativity of the 2010s and beyond, an era that's found the band reinventing itself with each release. With a reputation for spectacular live performances, The&#160;Verve Pipe continue to create new music as an independent band, maintaining their commitment to forward-thinking rock &#38; roll with each new release.]]></description>
