Hoo Doo Soul Band - June 18
Featuring the talents of eleven of the Midwest’s most dynamic and critically acclaimed musicians, The HooDoo Soul Band started as an outlet to play funk and R&B. In January 1995, they started a weekly Sunday night gig at Oldfield’s on High. Now at their new Sunday night home, The Rumba Café, HooDoo shows no sign of slowing down. While primarily a cover band, HooDoo is known for putting their own twist on the standards and introducing audiences to unfamiliar funky gems.
Conspiracy - June 25
The Conspiracy Band has exploded from a local favorite to the best party band in its region. This talented, energetic, professional group performs throughout Ohio and has been booked in such cities as New York, Miami, Pittsburgh, and Louisville. Charismatic leader Rodney Sutton deftly leads the band from Sinatra to Earth, Wind and Fire...Aretha to Bonnie Raitt... Stevie Wonder to Sly and the Family Stone...
Red, Wanting Blue - July 2
Red Wanting Blue is the best underground independent rock band in the United States of America. Red Wanting Blue puts on an eclectic and very entertaining live show with songs that are sing-a-long solid and have some of the best lyrics this side of the Mississippi.
Reagonomics - July 9
The Midwest's best 80's dance band, The Reaganomics, are a group of musicians specializing in eighties rock. Not to be confused with a controversial economic theory, The Reaganomics are dedicated to bringing back the statement and feeling that defined music of that decade.
Fabulous Johnson Brothers - July 16
Old school vibe with new school energy, The Fabulous Johnson Brothers blend the influence of Prince, Michael Jackson, and even The Rolling Stones with the current sounds of everyone from Xtina to Arcade Fire. A cooking rhythm section and hot horn section only encourage kinetic frontman Aaron Pickering creating a personal non-stop party on stage spilling over into a frenzied audience.
Lipbone Reading & the LipBone Orchestra - July 23
Inventive singer/songwriter/ guitarist / voice-instrumentalist and former subway musician, Lipbone Redding revs up the party and creates original songs that effervesce with New Orleans swing, Memphis grooves and New York City style. Known for his ability to use his vocal to sound exactly like a trombone, it’s hard to tell the difference -- unless you witness the phenomenon live. Lipbone and his two-man orchestra make for a show greased with uncanny riffs of vocal trumpeting, booming mouth percussion, hilarious side moments and esoteric lyrics.
Granny Shot - July 30
Granny Shot has been electrifying audiences for years with their high energy performances and their wide ranging popular music set. Granny Shot will amaze you with their versatility, rapping to the Beastie Boys one minute and then playing Guns N Roses or The Killers the next.
Spikedrivers - August 6
In 2003 a new sound sprang up in the Rust Belt; a raucous, down- and-dirty sound, an intoxicating and gritty sound that pulled people in droves to dance floors across the Midwest. It was the sound of The Spikedrivers playing their unique blend of swinging, bluesy, upbeat, country-fried rock ‘n’ roll. Front man Jesse Henry’s unique and down-home song writing meets the electrified ruckus and wild precision of the backing band similar to what might have been if Woody Guthrie had led NRBQ.
4th Day Echo - August 13
If your jones’n for a rock’n jam 4th Day Echo can feed your fix. 4th Day Echo keeps the set list fresh and clean with the most current rock hits as well as a few crowd favorites from the past. On any given night you’ll hear 4th Day Echo blastin’ out anything from Buckcherry and Blink 182 to the Beastie Boys and Bush. They tear into to the Red hot Chili peppers, Rage against the Machine and Radiohead then they roll right into some gritty GNR and Rolling Stones. They even cover Kelly Clarkson and the Dixie Chicks.
Zanna-Doo - August 20
Rock, disco, 80s, Motown, funk and top 40 dance music straight from Indianapolis to your door.
Jacked Up - August 27
