The Mayflies have been pushing the outer limits of jam rock and bluegrass in the greater Midwest region and Colorado since 2001. In concert, The Mayflies are known for their inexhaustible energy; whipping their fans into a sweat-drenched, blissful frenzy. The instrumental interplay between the quartet is something to behold.
Cedar Rapid's Harmonic Order will groove you first www.myspace.com/harmonicorder
The last show was so much fun, let's do it again.
Equipped with a ’rode hard and put away wet,’ whiskey-soaked rasp and a deep bag of keyboard chops that echoes some of the greats of country, rhythm & blues and gut-bucket rock, David Zollo brings to The Big Night the kind of savvy, trans-genre synthesis you might expect from a grizzled road warrior twenty or more years his senior.
More Thanksgiving cheer with our Brazilian friends.

Hot Buttered Rum, one of the hardest-working and fastest-rising acts in acoustic rock, began in the San Francisco Bay Area with five uniquely talented singer-songwriter/instrumentalists setting out to create a new Northern California sound. The Bay Area claims credit for producing dozens of bands, from Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, and Old and In the Way, to the Mother Hips, Green Day, Metallica, and beyond. From this fertile ground sprang Hot Buttered Rum’s own infectious blend of American styles—folk, rock, jazz, and newgrass—all informed by the landscape of their home.
One of the best in the industry, it's Iowa City reggae from Public Propertiiiiiiiiiiii.
Hell yeah!!!!!!!

New Beat Society was formed in August of 2005 as a three piece group with Ben Soltau on bass, Justin LeDuc on drums, and Chris LoRang on saxophone. After picking up trumpet player Brett Messenger and vocalist Kathy Ruestow late in 2005, the band started getting strong recognition in Iowa City. NBS has most recently added its sixth member of the group, guitarist Nik Gruber.
FUNKMA$TER is a multi-instrumentalist. With the use of drums, bass, keyboards, guitar, vocals, and a looping device called an Electrix Repeater, he is able to single-handedly create a sound that will make you think you're listening to an entire band. His stage set-up allows him to create a full sound without having to rely on any drum machines or pre-recorded samples.
His live performances consist of original music, original arrangements of cover tunes, and folkloric afro-cuban rhythms and chants.
Don't know what we're doing yet, but probably something along the lines of six bands for six bucks, some free food and beer, and partying our heinies off.
So far we have Dead Larry, David Zollo, Mooseknuckle, The Bottom's Heavy, Johnny On Point and Backdrop as part of the party.
An absolutely amazing voice:
JC Brooks is determined to become the next in the long line of classic Chicago Soul singers. Sam Cooke, Curtis Mayfield, Syl Johnson - JC has learned from them all, and he's got no illusions about what it takes to become a classic. Armed with The Uptown Sound, one of the most ferocious bands to ever crawl up out of the windy city, JC's live shows are all-out assaults on the audience employing everything from raw punk to heart-drenched R&B. Guaranteed to make you dance by any means necessary. JC Brooks is the new sound of Chicago.
Nothing cooler than a Natty Nation show!
This show was absolutely huge last year so you might want to get tickets in advance
We are Secondhand Smoke, and we are dedicated to keeping the Sublime legacy alive by performing the songs live, and recreating the Sublime show experience. We AREN'T a business. We can't compete with Badfish (sadly, neither can Bud or Eric.). We don't want to try to BE Sublime. We are just a bunch of musicians that like to play a Sublime show once in a while. We play every song, no matter how difficult or obscure. We get a little wasted sometimes. We drive around in a smelly van. SEE OUR SHOW!
Secondhand Smoke is a trio, like Sublime. With every passing show, the sound becomes more and more like Sublime. You simply need to check out a show to get a taste! Flawlessly ripping out all of the best tunes, no matter how obscure.
Plus we just added a super cool Chicago ska band to open this one - www.myspace.com/jynxdmusic
