For the past 18 years, Michigan based bluegrass band, Full Cord has been making a name for themselves blending traditional bluegrass music in which they are deeply rooted with jazz, western swing, and classic rock n’ roll while keeping the traditional bluegrass feel alive and well. These influences make every performance memorable and unique.
Following a ‘22 win at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival competition and the ‘22 IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) Momentum Band of The Year, this band has been hot on the touring trail nationwide. Hold on to your hats when these folks hit the stage – they are bringing their version of the bluegrass train full steam ahead.
I’m so excited for the rest of the world to hear the unique brand of bluegrass that Full Cord offers. -Missy Armstrong
With axes in hand, these guys quickly ignite a crowd with combustible music and leave them in a cloud of sawdust, smoke, ash and embers by the end of a fiery show. -Joe Russ, Bluegrass Unlimited

Jake Hoot a winner on The Voice: Battle of Champions!

The action heated up on the Battle of Champions and Season 29 when coach Kelly Clarkson called in some powerful back-up as Season 17 champion Jake Hoot returned to the fold to remind audiences why he stole the crown back in 2019. On Monday April 6th’s show a Battle of Champions competition was held between The Voice’s first-ever All-Star Showdown with Jake joining Team Kelly’s “Girl Named Tom” Team Adam winners “Javier Colon” & “Jordan Smith” and Team Legend stars “Maelyn
Jarmon” and “Renzo.”

Jake was chosen the winner by celebrity judge, the return of CeeLo Green and Jake closed the TV show to a standing ovation with his performance of “Desperado” by the Eagles. CeeLo said ” I’ve got to give the win to the cowboy! He moved me!” It was “Desperado” and his cover of Morgan Wallen’s “Cover Me Up” that ultimately got him crowned the Season 17 winner after an unforgettable run.

Season 17 Champion Jake Hoot Proves He’s the Best in Country | The Voice Knockouts | NBC – YouTube

Jake Hoot is a wonderful storyteller who doesn’t just sing country music-he lives it with passion! Rooted in faith, devoted to family, and carrying the heart of the country in every note! He was born in Texas and raised between the Dominican Republic and Tennessee, and his music embodies a life steeped in faith, family and authenticity. In 2020 in response to EF4 Tornados that hit Tennessee Jake released his original song as a music video “Tennessee Strong” donating the proceeds from downloads and streams to Middle Tennessee Emergency Response.

As much as Jake likes to perform his love is also song writing. Kelly Clarkson asked Jake to write her a love song that they could perform as a duet in Season 17.”I Would’ve Loved You” became a music video in 2020 and it’s still played on YouTube & Vevo! An evening spent with Jake is part country, part rock and pop music and it’s all memorable and sung from his heart. Enjoy!

Brett Newski & the Bad Inventions – Friday, June 26 – 7:30 p.m. Black Box Tickets $17.50
2026-06-26 19:30 - 21:00
Click here for tickets to Brett Newski & the Bad Inventions!
Folk-Grunge. Alt-country. Garage Americana. Whatever you call it, BRETT NEWSKI has carved his own lane at the crossroads of scrappy rock n roll, freak folk and comedic storytelling. Out May 1, Newski returns with a new album (and companion pocket book) Have a Thing, Miss Your Moment, Wait for the Revival, arriving via Nomad Union. Performing alongside bands like Pixies, Violent Femmes, Courtney Barnett, Gin Blossoms, Manchester Orchestra, Better than Ezra, Barenaked Ladies, Guster, Toad the Wet Sprocket & Nada Surf, Newski heads back on the road with Steve “Mr Bicep” Vorass on drums, Sean “Bad Man” Anderson on bass and Chris Haise on piano.
“Recording to tape is the only way to keep music purely human,” says Newski. “You can’t fake a tape recording. Currently, AI has no way to get its plastic claws onto analog tape.”
The book/music will NOT be on Amazon. The title track will NOT be on any streaming. Pre-order: https://www.brettnewski.com/merch
Have a Thing blends 60’s era Bob Dylan’s freewheeling lyricism with the crunch, grit, and melodic bite of 90s alternative rock, showcasing NEWSKI’s production style of a lost Velvet Underground tape. Recorded straight to cassette in Milwaukee, WI, the project leans into the imperfections that make analog charm so enduring.
