Friday July 9th, 9pm CST - Judd Hoos - Free!!

The high energy rock band Judd Hoos traveled in excess of 40,000 miles in 2010 to 114 shows in 9 states. In the past two years, the band has performed in 12 states, released a debut CD, opened for national acts Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, and Big Head Todd, and even managed to squeeze in a show at the Bellegio in Las Vegas.

Home base for Judd Hoos is South Dakota, but the band members are separated by hundreds of miles between shows. Shane Funk (drums) lives in Spearfish, SD; Chris Hornick (bass) lives in Rapid City, SD; Andy Young (guitar) lives in Chadron, NE; Zach Fronce (guitar) lives in Omaha, NE; and Bob Zwart (vocals) along with the tech crew live in the Sioux Falls, SD area. Geographic challenges aside, Judd Hoos manages to practice, record and perform with an ambition that borders on obsession.

The band carries a massive, state of the art sound system and lighting rig and employees a four man technical crew charged with making each show a true concert experience. Judd Hoos currently travels with a sponsored truck from GMC of Chadron.

Friday July 16th, 9pm CST - The Rude Band - Free!!

On any given night you can find them playing "Callin Baton Rouge" and moving right on to "Pour Some Sugar On Me" and then the most recent Nickelback hit. Not too long after that it's a five song non-stop dance marathon that includes "Girls Just wanna Have Fun", "Walk Like an Egyptian", Poker Face" (Did we mention that there aren't any girls in the band?), Hot, Hot, Hot, & Low. Closing the night one can expect to hear Zac Brown, AC/DC & Sir Mix-A-Lot.... Or something completely different...

No genre is off limits, No era is untouched, No Hit is out of reach

Their songlist is one of the most varied in the business and people love it. If you walked in off the street and heard them for the first time playing just one Country, Rock or Dance hit, you could easily assume that they were born to play that kind of music and then get completely thrown when they play something so completely different.

Chalk it up to Genius or simply ADD, you never know exactly what you're going to hear when you go to a Rude Band show.

The Rude Band plays an almost non-stop four hour show, with only one break. By the end of the night you may be wondering if you should start working out.

For 19 years, The Rude Band has been packing bars, ballrooms, street dances, colleges & fairs. With concert quality sound & lighting production, it's hard to believe that they can be that good.

If you haven't seen the Rude Band, what are you waiting for?

Friday July 23rd, 9pm CST - Darren Geffre Band - Free!!

Saturday July 31st, 9pm CST - Echoplane - Free!!

ECHOPLANE is a group of seasoned musicians striving to bring a new level of performance and musicianship to the upper Midwest. They have created a song list that you may not hear everyday or hear other bands perform, but you will recognize and enjoy!

Everyone in the band, including the crew, is working very hard for what they have and what they believe in. So open your minds to a cool new experience, come out to a show, bring 20 of your closest friends so that everyone can see and hear for themselves.
