Doors 7pm | Music 8pm

-The Outside Voices (Kent, OH)-
“The Outside Voices are a five-piece American rock band from Northeast Ohio. Rooted in Kent, OH – a town known for harboring the early playing careers of Joe Walsh, Dan Auerbach, and Patrick Sweany – The Outside Voices stay true to the area’s rustbelt rock reputation through a catalog of cleverly-crafted songs and charismatic live performances.”

-Horace Greene (Oshkosh. WI) –
“Horace Greene is a driven, passionate and charismatic band from Oshkosh, WI. Their sound is remarkably diverse and forward-thinking, blurring the lines between various genres. Their songs fall somewhere in between the melodies and grooves of 60s soul and the groundbreaking expressive energy of blues and alternative music.”

-Cullah (Milwaukee, WI) –
“Cullah has been releasing his music, every year, in albums since 2006. He releases these albums every April 27th in reverence of the date of his own creation. Each album is an exploration into different styles and techniques — an autobiographical journey of musical expression.”
