Forest Green is a Michigan-based four piece rock outfit with a unique blend of alternative and
post-hardcore roots, and who have etched their way into the scene with a style of their own. Displaying a raw, intense and an
emotion-filled sound, they’ve proven to bring nothing but energy and passion to their music and live performances.”
In August Forest Green joined the roster of independent labor No
Sleep Records. Forest Green joins a roster of some of the hottest, rising and established rock, punk and emo bands
around like Hot Mulligan, Living With Lions, Slow Bloom among others.
Originated in Columbus, Ohio in early 2016, Overgrow is
the solo project of singer/guitarist Jake Ciccotelli. A side project in its early days, Overgrow functioned as Ciccotelli’s
outlet for all of the facets of life that were difficult to vocalize traditionally. In late 2017, after the breakup of his
previous band, Overgrow entered a period of reinvention, in which the debut EP The House You Made was written - this time
with a full-band delivery. The release primarily touches on grieving the loss of Ciccotelli’s late father, who had passed
away suddenly in October of 2017. The release also tackles themes of self-criticism, and taking charge of one’s own mental health.

"Range is a big album, an ambitious one of intricate, cosmic layers, shifting textures, and plenty of exploration. Speaking
Suns can present as throwback folk-rockers, Midwest art-rockers channeling the past couple decades of indie rock in Chicago,
or experimental jammers. And they take risks." ~Prefix
"With a unique take on the American pop landscape of sounds & sensations, the long awaited follow-up to Speaking Suns' 2014 debut
Vanishing Country showcases a band seasoned from expansive tours of the Midwest where they offer up a unique guitar twang
that exhales alongside brass inflected expressions that mix modes of the modern with a curious creative current that is all their
own." ~Impose
"Nominally described as “indie pop,” the group—guitarists Jacob Diebold and Jay Teilhet, drummer David Byrne, bassist Dylan Sage,
and trumpeter Jonathan Jacky—readily shifts between sunshiny radiance (joyful opening track “Spell,” with its massed vocal
harmonies and peppy horns), moodier meditations (“Out of Range” has a distinctively woozy, almost Wilco-type vibe), and excursions
into darkness (there’s an angular complexity at play in a track like “These Are the Days” which wouldn’t have been out of place on
a classic Flying Nun band’s record in the ‘80s)." ~Blurt
Since Nappy Roots entered the music scene in 1998, they have remained real,
humble, talented guys with inherent, undeniable southern swagger. After the international success of Watermelon, Chicken, &
Grits, selling over 3 million albums, the members of Nappy Roots were flying high while still acutely aware of how far it could
be to the bottom should they fall. It is that practical and genuine presence of mind that helped them sustain touring as a
group these last ten years. Building a vastly loyal fan-base nationwide, fans and friends can be used interchangeably when
referring to their army of followers.
After severing ties with Atlantic Record and going independent, it was inevitable change was his own for solo efforts. Nappy Roots
had no choice but to keep it moving and did so as smoothly as possible. As the saying goes, “the show must go on,” and so it
has, obstacles included.
With a heavy heart and no major label record deal, Nappy Roots knew they had to remain in pursuit of their destiny and, thus,
Nappy Roots Entertainment Group was formed. The members of Nappy Roots were facing foreclosures and a mountain of stress in
the jobless economy, but still they remained positive and pushed on, while never forgetting where they came from and what they had
accomplished. With fans constantly communicating with the members online and at shows, the guys realized they weren’t the only
ones having trouble.
With the release of their tenth mix-tape Shit's Beautiful and the departure of Big V from the group, as he left to pursue a
solo career, Nappy Roots forges forward. Between touring and recording, the four-man group focuses on consistently putting
out quality hip-hop.
A weak man with no vision, no diligence behind the vision, and no faith behind the diligence would have given up, but Skinny
Deville, Fishscales, B. Stille and Ron Clutch did, can, and will handle this and more, all in the name of Nappy Roots.

#SongwritersCircle
the Irving Theater welcomes Songwriter's Circle featuring The Rough & Tumble
(Nashville) Emily Lehman
(Indianapolis) Jim Key
(Indianapolis) Yadin Kol
(Indianapolis)
8:00p / doors 7:30p | free ($5 suggested)
The Rough & Tumble are as easy to detect as a stray dog on your doorstep--and
as difficult to send home. The dumpster-folk, thriftstore-Americana duo, consisting of Mallory Graham & Scott Tyler, have
been hobbling around the country in their 16’ camper since 2015. They picked up a couple of actual strays along the way--two
100lb dogs, Puddle & Magpie Mae--and have been making themselves at home in living rooms, bars, theaters, and festivals across the
country.
Even at their start in 2011, The Rough & Tumble are collectors. Trinkets, instruments, stories shoved in cupholders, and
scraps of paper sticking out of old books they never planned to read, the duo couldn’t resist filling their pockets with tiny
things that may be useful down the road. Until they hit the road. Limited in space, The Rough & Tumble are a new kind of
collector: songwriting with illustration, and arranging each song with a menagerie of instruments, ranging from acoustic
guitars to mailbox snares to a banjulele. "Their Americana music is restorative, their performance highly entertaining,
their orchestra of unusual instruments intriguing, and… jokes and stories are worthy of an HBO special". (Linda Bolton,
Cozy Cabin House Concerts).
The stray folkies are as industrious as they are scrappy, releasing five EPs and two albums in their 8 years. The Rough &
Tumble’s 2018 release We Made Ourselves a Home When We Didn’t Know, brought the listener to the road and the road to their
home, an album “as cozy, comfortable and inviting as a well-worn couch." (Bill Kopp, Mountain Xpress). This is in addition
to their weekly livecast, a monthly blog, a Cook & Color Book, a food blog, 2018 SERFA Official Showcase Artist, and playing upwards
of 150 shows a year.
The Rough & Tumble are headed back into the studio in early 2019 for a later year release. But you will likely catch them
pawing at your front door on their never-ending tour soon.

If you do not see it, you will not know. This classic carny (carnival) bark is so true when proclaimed about the Blue Monkey
Sideshow. Incorporated in Indianapolis in 1998 (yes they are a real entity), this group has performed from Alabama to
Alaska, New York to Las Vegas and hundreds of stops in between. Their travels include 15 years at the Indiana State Fair,
three years at the Rolling Rock Towne Fair and twice opening for the Insane Clown Posse: at the first Gathering of the
Juggalos and Hollow Wicked. Over two decades , tens of thousands at colleges, universities, racetracks, rock concerts, private
parties, nightclubs,, corporate events, sport celebrations, Amazon family day, the Snodgrass sheet metal safety breakfast and
historic reenactments have witnessed the feats of this unique performance group. These are the guys who opened Die,Circus,
Die in the hollow, plaster shedding cavern that was to become the Fountain. Square Theatre. &bnsp;They accidentally created a
PETA protest the with their “Cat out of a Cannon” act on the Circle. They enlivened early Jazz Fest patrons, performing on
a wagon without brakes. The mayor spoke from their stage on the Canal and Dick Wolfsie has devoted a page in his book to
them.
Why? Because when you witness the Blue Monkey Sideshow, you undergo a transformation that only the carnival bark can bring you.
They have explored the carnival life, it's dangers and small rewards, so you don't have to. And through their trials
you realize life is more important , possible and joyful with a wink than ever before.

(1990), "Back Home" (2001) which took both album of the year and single of the year awards for 2001 from OutVoice Top 40,
"My Shoes" (2003) in which Sing Out! Magazine says "Fure's new solo venture signals her intent to do more than just move on.
This album soars...She has never sounded better...This mature effort surely ranks among Fure's finest works and will be
savored by old-time fans and new fans alike.", "Anytime Anywhere" (2005) and "True Compass" (2007) both beautiful collections of

with the album at #4 and she was the #2 artist. In November, the title song was #7. Wanda A. Fischer from WMAC Northeast
Public Radio has this to say, "Roses in November" is yet another masterpiece from Tret. Exceptionally crafted songs delivered with
passion, conviction and, yes, soul. Tret weaves magic both in the lyrics and between the lines. This will certainly be on my
"Best of 2018" list. Fure also markets of her own line of clothing named after her popular song "Tomboy girl". In addition,
Tret teaches guitar and songwriting individually and in workshop settings. She paints pet portraits on commission and, an
accomplished cook, Fure has also published a cookbook, "Tret's Kitchen", featuring her own recipes. Along with bridging the

Kings Kaleidoscope and Special Guests embark on their first nationwide
tour, covering 25 US cities promoting their newest album, "ZEAL".
Kings Kaleidoschope has a history of breaking convention. The band first met at church, reimagining hymns and ecclesial
melodies. But what started under lofted ceilings soon broke through, reaching the ready ears of crowds and critics. Five EPs
and two critically-acclaimed LPs later (both landing in the top 10 on Billboard's gospel chart), King's continues to reinvent their
medium. Genre-bending rhythms, bold arrangements, and soaring melodies underscore the diverse influences within the band.
Chad Gardner leads the collective of friends; up to ten members strong, and all hands stretch the canvas until it sings.
Their latest project, “The Beauty Between,” is another transformation, but what remains true—and what resonates with fans—is
the creative core: an honest expression of the ache, love, and color of a life redeemed.

As Jethro Tull and Ian Anderson are taking a break from touring, Martin has put together a band to play the "classic" music from
the Tull catalogue. His band is a total commitment to give the Tull fans and a broader audience the chance to hear tracks
not performed for many years.
