A professional ensemble of seasoned musicians poised to transform any occasion into an unforgettable experience. Our 3-6 part band boasts a dynamic lineup of incredibly talented singers, each a maestro in their own right, tailoring each performance with the smooth melodies of Jazz, the soulful resonance of Blues, the infectious rhythm of Funk, or the emotive storytelling of R&B.

Kicking things off, Tlalók jumps in solo with a short, fast, and loud set of punk covers and originals (yeah, it’s happening). Then PAX (Andrew Stoiber & Ron Terrel’s project) bring a tight 30 minutes of gritty, riff-heavy rock. Que So What keeps it raw with their signature mix of melodic punk and attitude, before Smooth Talkers — Peter Lindsey’s newest band — close out the night with some high-energy tunes and fresh-off-the-ground energy (only their second show!).

Lola Blu is a rising country singer-songwriter from Rockford, Illinois, known for her striking, raspy voice and magnetic stage presence. Blending country and southern rock with inspiration from Miranda Lambert, Whiskey Myers, and 49 Winchester, she delivers songs that dive into love, heartbreak, self-discovery—and the frequent party anthem.

Backed by her powerhouse band—Matt Zito (lead guitar), Tate Medina (rhythm guitar), Logan Taylor (bass), and Will Lewis (drums)—Lola Blu brings a true rock ‘n’ roll energy to every performance. She’s shared the stage with artists like Terri Clark, Trey Lewis, Tanner Usrey, Mackenzie Carpenter, & more, captivating audiences with her raw emotion and dynamic range.

Lola has earned major recognition, including multiple Josie Music Award nominations and being named 2024 Breakthrough Artist of the Year by the Midwest Country Music Organization. Her singles “Better Believe” and “3” (played on 60+ stations) paved the way for her debut EP, Good Ole Days, released summer 2024, along with her most recent singles, “Neon Night” & “Redneck Rock n’ Roll”  which are both summer country anthems.

With shows all over the Midwest and new music on the way, Lola Blu is just getting started.

With a mix of soul, pop, R&B, and much more, we like to let loose and share some raw originals & reimagined covers.

Idlehaze, the boundary-pushing virtuosos of sound dropped their latest EP, "Sandbox," promising a sonic adventure that defies convention. With a fusion of folk, alternative rock, blues and rap, this EP is set to reshape the musical landscape when it releases in October, taking listeners on a 23-mintue voyage through uncharted territory. 

If you want background dinner music, this acoustic duo is not for you. The heart of the band Twang Dragons, Lisa and Tommy engage audiences with their own take on everything from country to classic rock. As well as fun tunes from their 4 albums of originals. Lisa channels Janis Joplin and Loretta Lynn equally, with a powerhouse voice that almost makes a P.A. system redundant. In addition to playing all the major Wisconsin festivals, they’ve toured England several times and have also played in Isle of Man, Amsterdam and Rome, Italy. You can hear their full band music on all the major streaming services and AMI jukeboxes.

Roaming a sonic trail blazed by country punks and folk poets immemorial, pre-Dylan on up through Tweedy and Lenderman, Max Niemann packs a punch that’s as heartfelt as it is biting. Following in the footsteps of the American troubadour lineage, he beckons it into the present with songs that are as likely to strike a chord with the modern metropolitan as they are the lonesome wanderer. With his ever-evolving band of Fellow Travelers at his side, the group provides rustic and rollicking backdrops for the hard-nosed yet intimate stories of joy, suffering and striving that occupy Niemann’s songs.

Over the last few years, much of Niemann’s focus has been dedicated to fronting the rowdy rock ‘n’ roll band, Diet Lite, whose sharp wit and electrically energetic live sets have garnered the band a dedicated following across the Midwest and beyond. As he begins to ramble out in a new direction, Niemann’s performances tap into much of the same passion, opting however for lush Americana over rambunctious rock. Well, for the most part, that is. 

Max & The Fellow Travelers’ debut release, “The Fellow Travelers,” is out now and available to stream wherever you listen.

Lost Pyramids are an improvisational, psychedelic jam band. They aim to keep it fresh on stage with dynamic grooves and spacey jams.
