SUMMARY:Killer Whale w/ Charlie Millard Band
DESCRIPTION:CHARLIE MILLARD BAND (9:20PM – 11:20PM) \nFrom Northern Michigan\, featuring percussionist Will Harris\, Jercat Millard on guitars\, and Charlie on the keys/organ/Rhodes bass\, their Live performances have audiences raving about their refreshing Rock n Roll sound described as “small movies for the ears”. Their studio debut album ‘Pilot Boy’ was released in 2025 and their tour continues across the states and internationally. Come fly with the Charlie Millard Band. *Cinematic Rocknroll Originals\, like small movies for the ears! \nKILLER WHALE (11:30PM – 2:30AM) \nKiller Whale is an indie-soul and psychedelic rock band led by singer and songwriter Thomas Johnson\, originally from Baton Rouge\, Louisiana. The project is known for its laid-back\, “psychedelic pontoon soul” sound that blends influences from New Orleans funk\, San Francisco surf rock\, and 60s/70s folk. At the heart of mostly every song is a simple folk song\, but what varies greatly is the manner in which the artist chooses to present it. Johnson has been working on new material that explores the possibilities of his vision. His efforts to find unique and novel ways to present his writing have yielded refreshing results. One thing is clear from these recordings..Johnson has absolutely no interest in being a simple\, strumming balladeer. \nIn his new project Killer Whale\, Johnson is widening the sonic footprint of his sound. In the process\, he has taken a keen interest in recording methods and electronic instruments not commonly associated with folk music. Although guitar and vocals remain the heart of his songs\, Johnson’s new material incorporates digital and analog drum machines\, synthesizers and densely layered vocal effects.” \n$15 (ADVANCE TICKETS) / $20 at The Door Night of the Show

SUMMARY:Zoo Band
DESCRIPTION:There’s a certain kind of electricity that doesn’t come from wires and screens\, but from roaring musicians locked onto the same pulse\, bending time until the groove feels like it shakes the earth and could stretch forever. That’s Zoo Band.\nRooted in the Bay Area and built for the moment\, Zoo is a soul-drenched\, jam-powered collective where tight musicianship meets wild improvisation.  Larry “Zoo” commands keys and vocals with a storyteller’s instinct.  On guitar\, Jordan (of Too Pretty for Radio) threads and shreds.  Manny layers rich keyboard textures that form badass sonic landscapes.  Andy’s bass doesn’t just hold it down\, it’s Funky.  Jeff Dukes drives it all from the drums bangin’ precision fire beats.  Mike’s saxophone is pure soul energy.\nTogether\, they build from deep funk to cosmic jam\, from simmering soul to explosive peaks. No two shows are the same because Zoo locks in with the audience as the seventh member of the band.\nStanding on the shoulders of the giants of 60s/70s Funk/Soul/Motown\, but grounded in their own unmistakable sound\, Zoo delivers pure joy with dance-compelling grooves that move!   Step into the Zoo safari.  This is the Zoo party! \nLARRY “ZOO” – Vocals\, Keys\nANDY – Bass\nJORDAN – Lead Guitar\nJEFF DUKES – Drums\nMANNY – Keys\nMIKE – Sax
