SUMMARY:MICHAEL GLABICKI of Rusted Root with Dirk Miller + special guest opener Kal Schimmers
DESCRIPTION:MICHAEL GLABICKI\nof Rusted Root with Dirk Miller\n+ special guest opener Kal Schimmers\nRusted Root evolved around front-man Michael Glabicki’s distinct sound and vision…a one of a kind blend of acoustic folk\, rock and world music that took the Pittsburgh based band from local clubs to multi-platinum record sales and a worldwide touring career. Glabicki is also exploring new sounds and opening new doors with his solo career\, regularly touring as a duo with Rusted Root’s guitar player\, Dirk Miller.  A multi-faceted musician\, producer and songwriter\, Glabicki’s duo tour dates feature many Rusted Roots hits\, stories and songs yet to be released. \n“We go into the crevices of the songs and expand them out and open up the music to whatever happens in the moment\,” Glabicki says of his shows with Miller. “It’s completely improvisational\, to the point where we surprise ourselves a lot. Things just happen\, and I start laughing. It’s like we’ve never heard it sound like that before. We have a great time with it and the audience seems to enjoy the musical exploration too.” \nKal Schimmers: \nKal Schimmers\, the 19-year-old artist based in Lacrosse\, WI\, holds an unexpected element in his craft. He was born and raised in Appleton\, WI\, and first broke into the scene when he was 16 years old. His emotional\, deep lyrics along with his smooth voice\, and guitar skills are truly something special. \nIn Kal’s words\, “All I want when sharing my art with others is that they walk away inspired\, lifted in spirit\, and go about their day feeling a deeper purpose and oneness with God’s grace\, and most importantly a smile on their face.” \nDoors open at 6:30 PM to give you time to find your seats\, visit our historic lobby\, concession stand and fully stocked bar! Show begins at approximately 7:30 PM

SUMMARY:Them Coulee Boys Live at The Bend Theater
DESCRIPTION:Back by Popular Demand: The Bend welcomes Them Coulee Boys back to our historic stage!\nThem Coulee Boys craft a brand of Americana that blends folk\, punk\, bluegrass\, and rock & roll. They sing their conversational songs in 4 part harmony\, often with a banjo stomp and rhythm section punch that drives the audience onto the dance floor and into community. Their trusty van has propelled them thousands of miles across the country and into the hearts of strangers\, who tend to leave each show as family. \nThe story is true. Soren Staff and Beau Janke met as counselors at a bible camp in northern Wisconsin in 2011. Having both grown up amidst a stretch of glacial melt-carved river valleys in the upper Midwest (called coulees by French fur trappers)\, they were fast friends. At camp\, another counselor took to teasing them saying “them coulee boys are at it again.” The name stuck. Spending their weeks playing songs with kids around a campfire led to weekends figuring out an Avett Brothers tune or classic country song.  In 2013\, they added Soren’s brother Jens on mandolin\, and a rough-around-the-edges\, stomping 3-piece folk band played their first show as Them Coulee Boys. The live band straddles the line between pure and genuine ballads and a sweaty\, leaping take on countrified rock-n-roll. \n“from pure and genuine ballads to a leaping\, countrified take on rock and roll” \nFor all things Them Coulee Boys\, please visit themcouleeboys.com. \nDoors open at 6:30 PM to give you time to find your seats\, visit our historic lobby\, concession stand and fully stocked bar! Show begins at approximately 7:30 PM

SUMMARY:An Evening with Elton Dan & The Rocket Band
DESCRIPTION:CALLING ALL ELTON JOHN FANS!\nJoin us at The Bend Theater for An Evening with Elton Dan & The Rocket Band\n  \nElton Dan Seeks to Carry the Candle for Experiencing the Live Concert Experience of Elton John! \n“Elton John is my all-time favorite artist and primary inspiration for playing music\,” Elton Dan says. “There’s a lot to it. It’s not a challenge to play and sing\, but the diversity from album to album is a rich tapestry of influences including blues and especially country music.” “I play his music every day\, not only to get better also to be enriched and to learn more of his compositions.” \nAt an Elton Dan concert\, you are enveloped into the magic of Elton’s music through a multimedia production\, over-the-top costume changes\, the incredible musicianship of the Rocket Band and the high-energy performance that Elton Dan brings to the stage like Elton John of the days past. “So much energy and pure joy!”\, “Fantastic costumes and production!”\, “Mesmerizing\,” are a taste of the comments from their fans. “I want our shows to be a true tribute to the greatest musical artist ever\,” Dan says. “When someone attends one of our shows\, I don’t try to imitate Elton. Rather\, I want the concertgoer to be immersed in the full experience.” \nElton Dan has attended 17 Elton John concerts around the globe\, including being front and center during Elton’s final live shows in North America at Dodger Stadium this past November. Dan has interacted with David Furnish\, Elton John’s partner. As done last year\, on Elton’s birthday\, March 25\, Dan will film the audience singing “Happy Birthday” to Elton and send it to David for Elton to enjoy. It’s just another example how Elton Dan finds ways to make his concerts an even greater event to empower and celebrate people. \nDoors open at 6:30 PM to give you time to find your seats\, visit our historic lobby\, concession stand and fully stocked bar! Show begins at approximately 7:30 PM

SUMMARY:Chris Kroeze Returns to The Bend Theater
DESCRIPTION:Chris Kroeze Returns to The Bend Theater!\nRunner Up on NBC’s THE VOICE / TOP 5 Country Song “Human” (iTunes TOP 100) / Featured in USA Today / Featured in Rolling Stone / #1 ROCK Song (iTunes) \nGrowing up\, there was a guitar in the corner of the family basement that no one was supposed to touch. When no one was looking\, a young Chris Kroeze (pronounced Cruise-E) would sneak down and find it. On his 6th birthday\, Chris got a guitar of his own and hasn’t put it down since. \nIn 2015\, he began a busy stretch of playing over 175 shows a year\, and creating a large and loyal fan following. That popularity soared in 2018\, when he appeared on NBC’s hit TV show “The Voice\,” making it all the way to the finals in a runner-up finish. In the finale\, Kroeze sang the original song “Human\,” which was TOP 10 on the Billboard HOT 100 and TOP 5 on the iTunes TOP 100. His vocal and guitar skills\, combined with a small-town charm\, led to Kroeze to become the most streamed artist in the show’s history. \nA popular live performer\, Chris continued to perform at a frantic pace maintaining an average of over 175 shows a year through 2019\, and the crowds have gotten bigger and bigger. He headlined a show at Aquafest for over 5\,500 fans and has had a number of stops in which he has sold out multiple nights in a row\, yet he still returns for pop-up shows at local bars he used to play at early in his career.\nKroeze has developed a large military fan base as well\, in 2020 making his 10th overseas tour\, and he is a recipient of the Red Cross Community Hero Award. \nAll these years later\, Kroeze’s biggest thrill remains making music that speaks to him and sharing it with people. That love is evident in his most ambitious album yet – “We All Sing Along”.\nChris’ fingerprints dotting an album that brings his passions and life story to the forefront with a series of new favorites. \n“Same Ole” harkens back to the country style of Kroeze’s youth. “It was obvious to me that this song needed to lead out the project. From the first time we worked our way through it felt like an old song we had been singing for years\, and just felt so good.” Brought to Chris by fellow Voice contestant Dave Fenley\, it offers what Kroeze considers his best vocal performance on the album and highlights Kroeze’s strength on the guitar with a series of tasteful solos.\n“Summer Song” tells of growing up in Wisconsin\, enjoying the sacred days of beautiful summer weather out on the lake during the day and sitting around the campfire playing guitar at night.\n“Tie a Knot” speaks to the importance of human camaraderie and the strength provided by sticking together when times are tough. The song encourages people that when you’re at rock bottom and at the end of your rope\, tie a knot so you don’t fall off.\n“Money” shows the diverse strength and appeal Kroeze offers\, pushing the borderlines of country and rock with a unique musical track\, a song that is “all about bragging on your lady.” \nDoors open at 6:30 PM to give you time to find your seats\, visit our historic lobby\, concession stand and fully stocked bar! Show begins at approximately 7:30 PM
