Zach DuBois – Album Release Show

7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 23
Tickets: $10-$15

Elkhart native Zach DuBois will release his third album, Flâneur, which he describes as “somewhere between John Denver and John Mellencamp – between singer-songwriter and roots rock.” The songs are from the last six years of his life, spent traveling the US and Europe and performing music. Country Americana trio Maybe April will also perform.

Lunchtime Live! featuring Celia Weiss

11 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 27

Hotel California

7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 29
Tickets: $25-$40 reserved seating

This Eagles tribute band has shared the stage with The Doobie Bros., Lynyrd Skynyrd, Gretchen Wilson, REO Speedwagon, and many more since they started touring in the 1980s. This concert is about more than just the music — it’s also a celebration of the memories we’ve all made while listening to The Eagles.

Here Come the Mummies: The Friction Tour

8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 30 (doors at 7 p.m.)
Tickets: $32-$42

Here Come the Mummies is an eight-piece funk-rock band that will melt your face. Some say they were cursed after deflowering a great Pharaoh’s daughter. Others claim they are reincarnated Grammy-Winning studio musicians. Either way, the mystery combined with their rocking music makes this a show you don’t want to miss. Hope for the Hollow, a hard rock band, will open the show.
