An Evening with The Ike Reilly Assassination
2026-03-10 20:00 - 23:59
The Ike Reilly Assassination
https://www.instagram.com/ikereilly/
Since his explosive major label debut, SALESMEN AND RACISTS, Reilly has been creating rebellious
punk/folk/country/blues-influenced rock ’n’ roll records that are poetic and cinematic. Critical
praise for his work has been plentiful, and he has garnered a wildly loyal fan base — from faithful
fans in the dirty bars and rock clubs in the middle of nowhere to legendary authors. Reilly’s songs
have a unique universality that affects people. Author Stephen King wrote that Reilly’s travel band
saga, “Boltcutter,” was “the best new song to come out of the Trump era.” The New York Times
called Reilly’s longtime band, The Assassination, one of the best live bands in America, and once
again they show their dexterity and growth on Reilly’s new offering, BECAUSE THE ANGELS

Atticus Sorrell and Rhytm Bloom, Chirp
2026-03-14 21:30 - 23:59
Chirp from Detroit, MI is coming back to the legendary Brass Rail to throw down some funky, soulful vibes with Atticus Sorrell and Rhythm Bloom!
Doors at 8:30$7 cover
Check the band out here: https://linktr.ee/chirpmusic
Chirp is a four-piece band that does their fair share of genre-hopping. Often playing in the styles of progressive rock/funk and jazz-fusion, their sound maintains a melodic center. The group features a wide array of originals and covers in their live sets and puts together dynamic, high-energy shows. Though their music ties in many technical elements, an equal emphasis is put on grooving and keeping people moving. Chirp takes influence from Snarky Puppy, Steely Dan, Led Zeppelin, James Brown, Yes, Daft Punk, Vulfpeck, and The Beatles to name a few.
Chirp has been hard at work since their formation in 2015, touring and recording consistently since the project began. Their fresh sound has taken them touring across the Midwest to play a large variety of venues and festivals. Chirp is Jay Frydenlund, Brian Long, Sam Naples, and Patrick Blommel.

The Burkharts with Danny Ayala (of the lemon twigs)
2026-03-25 19:00 - 23:59
The Burkharts bring a dose of sun-soaked nostalgia from the shores of Buffalo, NY. Blending breezy
melodies with jangly guitars, their indie surf-pop sound drifts somewhere between a 1960s Californian
daydream and modern lo-fi charm. Frontman Trevor pens the tunes while his brother Gavon keeps time
on the drums, joined by Austin, Luke, and James to complete the band’s retro-tinged rhythm section.
Their latest single, “Tell Me,” is out now—perfect for late-night drives and golden-hour memories.
The Burkharts’ music video for their most recent single, Tell Me, out now!
Danny Ayala

What’s bold is new again and what’s original never truly goes out
of style. That is the thesis behind ‘Only Fools Love Again,’ setting
it and its author, Danny Ayala, up for long-term success and a
tenure-track rotation on any discerning pop fan’s turntable. The
touring bassist and keyboardist with glam and power pop
wunderkinds, THE LEMON TWIGS, strikes again! ‘Only Fools
Love Again’ ranks near the top of an extremely short list of pop
revival offerings that transcend sonic posturing and mere
tribute-act dress-up pastiche.
A forward-facing throwback, showing off a range of influences
both new and old, digital and analog, ‘Only Fools Love Again’ is
THE NEW Long Island Sound and it comes highly recommended.
Get ‘Only Fools Love Again’ today and baby you can go all the
way.

Wayne "The Train" Hancock, Denny And The Down & Outers
2026-04-03 21:30 - 23:59
$12 no-fee advance tickets on sale now. $15 day of show
Wayne Hancock has more Hank Sr. in him than either I or Hank Williams Jr. He is the real deal.” – Hank III
“Hancock, who tosses out a roots mix of old country, roadhouse blues, western dance swing, boogie bop, and straight-up rockabilly, takes what was once old and makes it seem like it’s always been and always will be.”—allmusic.com
“The country music scene could do with a lot more characters like Wayne, who push the music’s limits while staying truer to its roots than any well-known names associated with the genre today.” – Slug Magazine
Since his stunning debut, Thunderstorms and Neon Signs in 1995, Wayne “The Train” Hancock has been the undisputed king of Juke Joint Swing–that alchemist’s dream of honky-tonk, western swing, blues, Texas rockabilly and big band. Always an anomaly among his country music peers, Wayne’s uncompromising interpretation of the music he loves is in fact what defines him: steeped in traditional but never “retro;” bare bones but bone shaking; hardcore but with a swing. Like the comfortable crackle of a Wurlitzer 45 jukebox, Wayne is the embodiment of genuine, house rocking, hillbilly boogie.
Wayne makes music fit for any road house anywhere. With his unmistakable voice, The Train’s reckless honky-tonk can move the dead. If you see him live (and he is ALWAYS touring), you’ll surely work up some sweat stains on that snazzy Rayon shirt you’re wearing. If you buy his records, you’ll be rolling up your carpets, spreading sawdust on the hardwood, and dancing until the downstairs neighbors are banging their brooms on the ceiling. Call him a throwback if you want, Wayne just wants to ENTERTAIN you, and what’s wrong with that?
Wayne’s disdain for the slick swill that passes for real deal country is well known. Like he’s fond of saying: “Man, I’m like a stab wound in the fabric of country music in Nashville. See that bloodstain slowly spreading? That’s me.”
Little known fact: Wayne is the only Bloodshot artist to have had their CD taken aboard a space shuttle flight.
“A rare breed of traditionalist, one who imbues his retro obsessions with such high energy and passions that his songs never feel like the museum pieces he’s trying desperately to preserve.” —AllMusic.com

The Hooten Hallers wit Squirrel Cage
2026-04-23 20:30 - 23:59
The Hooten Hallers are a band that was founded by guitarist/lead vocalist John Randall and drummer/ falsetto vocalist Andy Rehm, who performed as a duo and were known for their raucous and often improvised live performances. Paul Weber briefly joined the band in 2013–14 on harmonica and tuba, and wrote several of the group’s songs, such as “She Used to Love My Music” and “Trouble Is”. Baritone and bass saxophonist Kellie Everett joined in 2014 and solidified the group’s line-up as a trio. The Hooten Hallers are a “high-energy blues, soul and rock and roll band known for their gritty Americana roots music”.
