Brushfire (Pop/Rock/Country)
4:00 p.m.
Whatever you think a country band is…forget it! Brushfire isn't a typical stand-behind-the-mic and sing band. They are a young and ENERGETIC band that plays upbeat, ROCKIN' country a la Jason Aldean and Bon Jovi!! That's right, rockin' country mixed with upbeat rock. Their sound is so relatable, that they can play ANY venue. |

Mike and Joe (Pop/Rock)
7:30 p.m.
"Mike and Joe" is the name of the band and we LOVE this stuff! Yes, two guys' names, four people in the band.
We are a COVER band based out of Indianapolis and playing in Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, and from time to time, in Ohio. We play Modern Rock/Alternative music but will throw in some 80's and even a 70's tune or two. We have a blast gigging 3 or 4 times a week year round, and generally play clubs that hold 500 to 1200 people. We play a lot and we see a ton of awesome fans! We are a cover band but we are not a "party" band. There is no schtick to our show. We are a straight up rock band that just kicks it! Everything you hear at a show is being played and sung live, and we do not track (play along to pre-recorded music). We want to reproduce the songs we play as accurately as possible which definitely stretches the limits of our 4 piece band, and we LOVE IT

Rod Tuffcurls & The Bench Press (Pop/Rock)
8:30 p.m.
Honestly, there's not a whole lot to say. We could go with the whole "We were just 4 guys, from Chicago IL..." angle, but that'd be lame as well as inaccurate.
