This post is going to start with a resounding note, but here is ANOTHER show three years in the making. We are pumped to have snagged Andrew Leahey & the Homestead on their way back to Nashville after their appearances at Appleton's Mile of Music Festival. This night of rock and roll will be brought to us by our friends at Leff's Lucky Town, too.
Kicking it first will be Wisconsin's own Nick Anderson and The Skinny Lovers (NASL). NASL are an Alternative Rock band that formed in 2015 and independently released a series of EP’s that landed them a Number 1 and Number 8 spot on independent radio.
Shortly after, their first two EPs were licensed to MTV, E!TV, NETFLIX, and 10+ more. NASL was part of Summerfest’s Emerging Artist Series (alumni WALK THE MOON, X Ambassadors, and Maren Morris, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats).
They recently released a quarantine project titled “What the Punk?!” that was debuted on Sirius XM Radio by none other than Marky Ramone of the legendary punk band The Ramones.
It's hard to keep Andrew Leahey's bio constrained to the character confines of Facebook, but this multitalented fellow and his band would blow the roof off of the Rotary Park Performance Pavilion if we had a roof. They're a timeless rock & roll band. Andrew Leahey & The Homestead are torchbearers of an anthemic, guitar-driven sound once held aloft by icons like Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen. (Have we got your attention?)
It’s a sound that’s taken the Nashville-based Leahey around the world, from sold-out shows in Norway, Mexico, and South Africa to a string of cross-country tours in the USA. Along the way, his songwriting — hailed by Rolling Stone for its “celebratory mix of sharp storytelling and fist-pumping rock & roll swagger” — has left a unique mark, climbing the Americana Airplay charts one minute with the Top 50 hit “Little in Love” (from Leahey’s 2016 debut, Skyline in Central Time) and finding a home on pop/rock radio with singles like “Start the Dance” and “Airwaves” (both taken from his international breakthrough, 2019’s Airwaves) the next.
Finishing on another resounding note... you are NOT going to want miss this one. Can't wait for Summer!
