Monday, April 8th: So excited to extend the magic of the solar eclipse into the evening with live music from Bully (solo) + Craig Finn at Stuart's! 🎫Tickets: tixr.com/e/96103

Bully AKA Alicia Bognanno's sound "distills '90s rock, punk, and grunge energy with melodic hooks and her signature vocal wail—her lyrics are so direct and vulnerable, delivered like an adrenaline shot to the heart, that they often have to be screamed." (Mpls.St.Paul Magazine)

Craig Finn, best known as the front man of The Hold Steady, is a blue collar modern rock poet. His most recent solo album, A Legacy of Rentals, was praised by Pitchfork saying, “The writing remains the main attraction in Finn’s work, and both as a storyteller and a rock songwriter, he has never sounded more in control."

Thanks to our friends at Stuart's Opera House for presenting this show as an opening to the 2024 Ohio University Music Industry Summit

Peter One grew up in Bonoua, a small town in southeastern Cote d’Ivoire about 30 miles from Abidjan, the economic center of the nation. Having first learned guitar at the age of 17, Peter developed stylistic affinities for African troubadours like Benin’s G.G. Vickey and the Cameroonian Eboa Lotin, which he began to blend with the chordal and harmonic lushness of some of his American favorites Simon & Garfunkel and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. He now resides in Nashville. His latest album, ‘Come Back to Me’, might just transport listeners to new vistas, new moods, and new modes of experience, because they are the reflection of Peter’s own unpredictable, ever-surprising journey.
