THIS WEEKEND

🎤 Aloe Blacc

Saturday @ Revolution Hall (8PM)

Aloe Blacc’s playing the hits that make you feel like a million bucks even if your bank account disagrees. Expect soul and sing-alongs you forgot you knew the words to.

🎛️ Feed Me

Saturday @ The Den (10PM)

Feed Me is back behind the decks and serving up pure digital carnage. Dance to glitchy bangers, deep cuts, and bass so thick it’ll rearrange your organs — all delivered with that iconic green grin lighting up the booth.

🧝 Lost in the Woods

Saturday @ 45 East (10PM)

Put on your elf ears and get tickets to see Elijah Wood and Zach Cowie in Lost in the Woods, a fantasy-themed DJ set. Costumes highly encouraged!

🔥 Steve Von Till

Sunday @ Mississippi Studios (9PM)

Steve Von Till sounds like the forest feels at night — vast, heavy, and a little haunted.
Best known for fronting post-metal band Neurosis, his solo work trades metal for meditative folk, poetry, and slow-burning Americana.

🎸 Joe Bonamassa

Sunday @ Hayden Homes Amphitheater (6:30PM)

With a guitar collection that could start its own museum and solos that melt faces in slow motion, Joe Bonamassa is blues-rock at its most dialed-in and dramatic.
