• Blue October

  <p>Blue October consists of multi-instrumentalist, Ryan Delahoussaye; Matt Noveskey on bass; and brothers Jeremy and Justin Furstenfeld the band's drummer and front man, respectively. The group, once known for its stormy dynamic and self-destructive tendencies, couldn't be more distinct, today, from the band it once was. "We've had the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, and we've come out the other side," says Noveskey, who describes the new record as "emotional."</p><p>The newest album,&nbsp;<em>I Hope You're Happy</em> was released on August 17, 2018 on Up/Down Records, in partnership with Brando Records, a record label founded by Justin Furstenfeld, who remains the label's president. The record is currently available on iTunes, Amazon and directly through the band. The album's title track has reached the top 20 on the Billboard Alternative chart. Justin states: "<em>I Hope You're Happy</em> is about wishing your enemies well...anyone who's touched my life, or I've touched your life - life's so short, and I hope you're happy."</p><p>Along with the new record, a soon-to-be-released documentary detailing the band's transformation from sordid to solid, from ravaged by the tempest of addiction to be blessed by the joys of family life. Just like any other relationship, the band's dynamic is multifaceted, and what we're privy to on camera is but a snapshot into the group's complex world.</p><p>Tickets are $35 for Pit Standing Room or $29 for General Admission Standing Room plus taxes and an online/phone ticket fee (this fee is waived when tickets are purchased at The Market gift shop inside Rhythm City Casino Resort®).

• Steep Canyon Rangers

  <p>Steep Canyon Rangers (SCR) has affirmed their place as one of the most versatile bands in contemporary American music. The Grammy Award-winning sextet has spent nearly two decades shaping the bluegrass aesthetic, wedding it to elements of pop, country, and folk to create something original. Since SCR came together in 2000, they have developed a remarkable catalogue of original music that links them to the past while demonstrating their ambitious intent to bring string-based music into contemporary relevance. SCR is easily among the hardest working bands in any genre, pulling double duty on their own and as collaborators with Steve Martin. Their latest release, <em>Out in the Open</em>, is an undeniable milestone on the Steep Canyon Rangers ongoing creative journey.</p>

• Yid Yicious, "Kick-Ass" Klezmer Band

  <p>Yid Vicious was formed in 1995 in Madison, Wisconsin, in order to ameliorate the woeful dearth</p><p>of klezmer in America’s otherwise pleasant heartland. Klezmer is Yiddish folk music, music for dancing and celebrating, and Yid Vicious has been spreading its infectious, original blend of freylekh fun throughout the Midwest and beyond for over a decade. Rather than replicate a particular time and place, Yid Vicious celebrates the long-standing tradition of klezmorim and incorporates new musical ideas into an organic and ever-evolving art form. The band’s seven members blend their backgrounds in classical, jazz, and world music to create a klezmer experience that will electrify audiences of all ages and backgrounds. Their musical arsenal consists of clarinets, fiddle, horn, vocals, guitar, accordion, tuba, drums, and sometimes theremin.</p>

• Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe
