SUMMARY:Trapper Schoepp's Tom Petty Tribute
DESCRIPTION:A new generation of Heartbreakers will soon take our stage—led by Wisconsin singer-songwriter Trapper Schoepp. \n“For me\, it’s about being a link in the chain of musicians before and after my time\,” Trapper says. “Tom Petty’s music has been a soundtrack through much of my life\, and bringing his songs to life is a joy—for me and for audiences.” \nBacked by a four-piece band\, Trapper delivers the full range of the Tom Petty catalog—from the fired-up urgency of “American Girl” and “Refugee” to the intimate beauty of “Wildflowers” and “Walls.” The performances honor the spirit\, swing\, and soul of the originals while allowing the band’s chemistry and care to shine through. \nSchoepp’s connection to Petty’s world runs deep. His latest album\, Siren Songs\, was recorded at Johnny Cash’s historic Cash Cabin—the same space where Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers served as Cash’s backing band on the Grammy-winning Unchained (American Recordings II). He has also released tender\, atmospheric recordings of “Free Fallin’” and “Walls\,” further cementing his reputation as a thoughtful interpreter of Petty’s work. \nBeyond the tribute\, Schoepp brings an acclaimed original career. In 2019\, he released a long-lost song co-written with Bob Dylan\, making him the youngest artist to share a writing credit with the Nobel Prize laureate. The release sparked a #1 trending article in Rolling Stone and led to over 100 tour dates worldwide. \nSchoepp has released five albums\, collaborating with members of Wilco\, The Raconteurs\, and The Jayhawks. PBS praised his songs as “story songs that explore and explode the conventions of rock and roll\,” while Rolling Stone France called his work a “charming 100% Americana opus.” \nAn international touring artist\, Schoepp has shared stages with The Wallflowers\, Three Dog Night\, Old 97’s\, The Jayhawks\, and Frank Turner\, performing at iconic venues including New York’s Town Hall\, Los Angeles’ Roxy Theatre\, and SXSW. \nPlease note all ticket sales are final.\nPlease have ticket ready upon arrival.

SUMMARY:Albert Cummings with special guest Maple Road Blues
DESCRIPTION:Albert Cummings is an American blues guitarist\, singer\, and songwriter whose commanding guitar work and soulful vocals have made him a standout in the contemporary blues scene. Born and raised in Massachusetts\, Cummings developed a deep passion for music at an early age\, beginning on the banjo and bluegrass before being captivated by the electric blues influences of legends such as Stevie Ray Vaughan\, B.B. King\, and Jimi Hendrix. \nAlthough trained as a builder and master carpenter\, Cummings’ musical path took shape with his first public blues performance in the late 1990s and his debut album\, The Long Way\, released independently in 2000 with his band Swamp Yankee. His dynamic fusion of blues\, rock\, and storytelling soon drew attention. When members of Vaughan’s former rhythm section—bass legend Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris Layton—volunteered to play on his 2003 solo debut From the Heart\, the blues world took notice. \nSigning with the revered blues label Blind Pig Records\, Cummings released albums such as True to Yourself (2004) and Working Man (2006)\, the latter cementing his reputation as a touring force and recording artist of significant range and impact. Over the years\, he has shared stages with blues luminaries such as B.B. King\, Johnny Winter\, and Buddy Guy\, further broadening his musical reach. \nIn his later work\, Cummings continues to evolve. Albums like Believe (2020) and TEN (2022) showcase a deeper sonic palette while remaining rooted in the soul of the blues. His most recent release\, Strong (2024)\, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart\, further underscoring his status as a modern torchbearer for the genre and a master craftsman of heartfelt\, high-energy blues. \nMaple Road Blues Band:\nBy presenting an eclectic blend of blues\, rock\, and folk jams\, Maple Road is a band that does not fall short of keeping an audience entertained and intrigued.  While honoring musical heroes and legends\, the group also strives to craft original and memorable tunes that allow each band member and the audience to interpret the music. \nPlease note all ticket sales are final.\nPlease have tickets ready upon arrival.

DESCRIPTION:Zombieland (2009 R)\nOctober 25 – 2pm \nTwo months have passed since a strain of mad cow disease mutated into “mad person disease” that became “mad zombie disease”\, which overran the entire United States (with the infection presumably spreading to the rest of the world)\, turning many Americans into vicious zombies. Survivors of the zombie epidemic have learned that growing attached to other survivors is not advisable because they could die at any moment\, so many have taken to using their city of origin as nicknames. \nUnaffected college student Columbus\, a young man who lived by himself in a beat-up apartment before becoming one of the few survivors of the zombie apocalypse. He lives by a strict set of rules to stay alive\, and is making his way from his college dorm in Austin\, Texas\, to Columbus\, Ohio\, to see whether his parents are still alive. He encounters Tallahassee\, another survivor\, who is particularly violent in killing zombies. Though he does not appear to be sociable\, Tallahassee reluctantly allows Columbus to travel with him. Tallahassee mentions he misses his puppy\, “Buck” that was killed by zombies\, as well as his affinity for Twinkies\, which he actively tries to find. \nHundreds of free parking near downtown!\nPlease note all ticket sales are final.\nPlease have tickets ready upon arrival.

SUMMARY:Dracula: Dead and Loving It
DESCRIPTION:Dracula: Dead & Loving It\nOctober 28th – 7pm \nTransylvania: 1893. A coach containing Thomas Renfield\, a solicitor from London\, and two Transylvanian natives\, rocks up a mountanous path. Renfield says he’s feeling queasy and one of the helpful natives leans out the window to tell the driver to slow down. Just as he does so\, he catches a glimpse of the setting sun and yells for the driver to go faster. The carriage rocks and jerks its way to the closest town. \nWhen they arrive\, a townsperson opens the door of the carriage\, and Renfield tumbles out headfirst. The driver throws his luggage down after him\, saying he will go no further tonight. Renfield is forced to walk to his appointment at Dracula’s castle\, disregarding the townspeople’s warnings about vampires as a silly superstition. \nBy the time Renfield arrives\, it is dark. He tries to knock at the door\, but the knocker crumbles away in his hand. Just then\, the doors swing open of their own accord. \nHundreds of free parking near downtown!\nPlease note all ticket sales are final.\nPlease have tickets ready upon arrival.

SUMMARY:Edwin McCain Trio
DESCRIPTION:Veteran singer/songwriter Edwin McCain had his major-label breakout in the mid-’90s with Honor Among Thieves. McCain became a Top 40 “Radio Star” with chart-topping singles and soundtrack success with the songs “I’ll Be” and “I Could Not Ask For More”. More recently\, Edwin has been touring with Hootie & the Blowfish\, Collective Soul\, and Train; and had a “breathtaking” experience performing hit songs disguised as Nessy\, The Loch Ness Monster during a run to the Final Five during season #13 of the hit US TV show The Masked Singer. \nHis first full studio album in 15 years was released in 2025. Edwin co-produced Lucky with Lee Brice and Jerrod Niemann. The album’s ten tracks span blues\, soul\, rock\, and folk influences. From the rollicking opening track “Chasing a Memory” to the aching ballad “Love Me or Leave Me Alone” to the Southern rock tribute “Sing for You\,” Lucky reflects McCain’s musical roots while embracing modern inspirations\, including an electronic edge on “Empire.”  \nDubbed a “great American romantic” by The New York Times\, McCain continues to connect with fans through his music as well as viral TikTok videos where his witty\, self-deprecating humor—often at the expense of his exasperated daughter—has won over a new generation of fans.  A podcast based on his TikTok life and more touring are in the near future for McCain\, but the fame part of the life does not phase him.  “I found myself in this sweet spot doing this for 35 years\,” Edwin muses. “And if I end up playing for tourists on a deck in Hilton Head one day? That would be OK\, too.” \nPlease note all ticket sales are final.\nPlease have tickets ready upon arrival.

SUMMARY:Kody West w/ Special Guest (TBA)
DESCRIPTION:Texas country grit meets rock-and-roll energy. Kody West brings his band to The Bend Theater on Friday\, November 13 — and this is a show you’ll want to see up close. \nGet Tickets \nWho Is Kody West?\nKody West grew up in Denton\, Texas\, listening to country legends like Johnny Cash. He picked up a guitar at nine years old and mostly taught himself to play. His first gigs weren’t fancy. He played taco shops and any bar with a patio that would give him a couple of hours. \nThen he did something smart. He took a job as tour manager for Texas artist Dalton Domino. He learned the music business from the inside — booking shows\, loading gear\, and watching how it’s done. Soon he was opening the shows himself. In 2016\, he released his first EP\, Higher Ground\, and fans took notice fast. \nHis 2017 debut album\, Green\, put him on the map alongside Texas country names like Koe Wetzel and Flatland Cavalry. Since then\, he’s released the albums Overgrown and Circles\, recorded a live album at the world-famous Billy Bob’s Texas\, and shared stages with Whiskey Myers\, Koe Wetzel\, and Charlie Robison. He and his band have played more than 400 shows across the country\, including plenty of sold-out rooms. \nHis sound mixes classic country storytelling with the crunch of late-’90s rock. One boot in the red dirt\, the other on a fuzz pedal. His songs rack up millions of streams because they feel real — songs about hard work\, heartbreak\, and hanging on. \n“We’ve been plugging away\, just playing shows ever since — just slowly growing.” — Kody West\nHear the New Single: “Oxygen”\nKody’s new single “Oxygen” is out now\, and it shows exactly where his sound is headed — big hooks\, raw vocals\, and lyrics that hit home. Watch the official music video below\, then picture hearing it live from just a few feet away. \n\n    \n  \nKody West — “Oxygen” (Official Music Video) \nTwo Fan Favorites You’ll Hear Live\n“Green”\nThe title track from his debut album. Fans know it by its chorus — “together but alone” — and they sing that line back at him at every show. It’s the song that turned listeners into a fan community. \n\n    \n  \nKody West — “Green” (from the album Green) \n“Million Miles”\nDark\, driving\, and built for a live crowd. “Million Miles” is one of his most-streamed songs and a highlight of every show. \n\n    \n  \nKody West — “Million Miles” (from the album Green) \nDo Your Homework Before the Show\nWant to sing along on November 13? Spotify has an official playlist called “This Is Kody West” with all his essential tracks in one place. Give it a few spins on your way to work this week. Find it on Kody West’s Spotify page\, along with the new single “Oxygen” and his full catalog. \nWhy You Should Be There\nKody West built his career on live shows. He’s played arenas and festival stages\, but a 360-seat room is where this music hits hardest. Every seat at The Bend is close to the stage. You’ll feel the drums in your chest and catch every word. \nHe’s also known as one of the most fan-friendly artists in Texas music. He’s the kind of performer who sticks around after the show to shake hands and say thanks. This is your chance to catch a rising star in an intimate room — before the venues get bigger and the tickets get harder to grab. \n\nShow Details\n\nDate Friday\, November 13\nShow 8:00 PM\nSeating General admission — arrive early for the best spot\nBar Full bar for all your beverage needs\nVenue The Bend Theater\, 125 N.

SUMMARY:Panorama - An Evening of The Cars Hits
DESCRIPTION:Panorama: An Evening of The Cars Hits\nThe Cars were the prototypical American new wave band. Known for their refreshing and clever songwriting in an era of bombastic art rock and mindless disco\, The Cars were a unique blend of analog synthesizers\, muted power chords\, catchy choruses and muscular guitar heroics. \nScoring a string of hit singles between 1978 and 1987\, The Cars sold over 24 million albums around the globe and had 13 singles that reached the Top 40.After regularly selling out their staple tribute show of The Cars’ debut album\, Milwaukee music stalwarts Mike Benign\, Don Moore\, Jack Rodee\, Jack Rice and Nick Verban now fully recreate one of the best live performances of The Cars you’ll find anywhere\, each song given the energy and attitude they deserve. \nFrom the massive hits that poured out of teenagers’ radios such as “Just What I Needed”\, “You Might Think” and “Shake It Up” to the album track gems like “Night Spots”\, “Gimme Some Slack” and “I’m in Touch with Your World”\, Panorama brings every album to the stage. \nSongs that are so timeless they are still used in film\, television and advertising more than 40 years after their release. \nPlease note that all ticket sales are final.\nPlease have your tickets ready upon arrival.
