Live Entertainment

New Old Calvary, 3:30 - 4:00 pm
The New Old Cavalry is a young, energetic and dynamic Bluegrass group that has torn out of Bloomington, Indiana, reaching as far as the west coast in only a few short years. While maintaining the format of a traditional string band, NOC sends astral bodies of loose phychedelia and jazz-inspired improvisation crashing like an asteroid into th emountains of Appalachian harmonies and traditional bluegrass.

Bringing the sounds of girl group era Motown, rock, soul, rhythm and blues to life once again in Bloomington and beyond, with new twists and all the energy and creativity of the originals. The live show has got it all; the songs you love as well as rare gems you can't believe you've never heard. Don't forget about the eyeliner, coordinated dresses, big hair and heels, baby! The Vallures are alright, uptight, outta' sight and will have you singing and dancing all night!

Polka Boy, 6:00 - 7:15 pm
Combining traditional "Pennsylvania Polka" type numbers with oom-pah-ed up arrangements of pop songs like "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," and "She Blinded Me with Science," an evening with Polka Boy is always the right balance of authenticity and kitsch. Polka Boy is well-known in Indianapolis as the best beer-band in town!

Not so long ago, bands like Poison, Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe and Skid Row were selling millions of records and playing sold-out arenas across the country. One tribute band has tapped into the nostalgic energy of the "Decade of Decadence" like no other. Delivering uncanny live performances and the wildest, never-ending party since Axl Rose was welcoming millions of rabid fans to his rock n' roll jungle! It's called Hairbangers Ball, and the crazy train has left the station, complete with the monster hair, the tattoos, the leopard print spandex, pyrotechnic masterpieces and all the make-up you can handle. As the name suggests, this is not just a band. It is the wildest party coming to a rock shop near you. We are not exaggerating when we tell you that this six piece is blowing the roofs off of large clubs and venues both figuratively and literally. Whether you are 21, 25, 30 or 40 years old, Hairbanger's Ball is a chronic party on maximum overdrive.

Main Squeeze, 9:45 - 11 pm
The Main Squeeze is a raging funk experience born within the thriving music scene of Bloomington, Indiana. Since coming together in late 2009, The Squeeze has managed to establish a unique sound and identity in a short period of time. Their live perforamnces, which fuse soulful vocals, intricate jams, tight grooves and ripping solos, have helped them develop a dedicated and rapidly expanding fan base in the Midwest and along the East Coast. With a steady stream of unreleased material being tweaked and perfected at each show, it's safe to say they have found their groove and show no signs of slowing down. If you've ever wondered if the juice is worth the squeeze, you should look no further!

All Access Band, 3:00 - 4:00 pm

Corey Cox, 4:30 - 5:30 pm
In the final minutes before Corey Cox takes to the stage, no matter the venue or size of the crowd, his routine is the same. A few fist pounds with his band, a hug from Mom, and a short chat with his Dad. It happens fast, but it happens. It is a routine that the twenty-two year old has gone through multiple times throughout the past three years. Since the humble beginnings of small bars and small crowds, Cox's show has elevated to among the best in the country and his performances are in prestigious music clubs, fairs and festivals throughout the country. Cox takes pride in building a higly energetic show with a passionate delivery of music. He is a very likeable performer and has a believability factor that is hard to find in many young artists. There is no mistaking the raw passion and emotion in his voice. "I really try to stay true to my style and to country music. I feel like sometimes artists get lost along the way. Country music is about real life. I just want to make my music as real as possible."
