Rachel Drew is a singer-songwriter from Chicago, celebrated for her soulful voice and catchy, self-penned tunes that blend pop, rock, folk, and retro soul. Her latest album, Old Sky New, has been recognized as one of the 13 Best Chicago Albums of 2024 by the Chicago Sun-Times and WBEZ/Vocalo-NPR. Rachel’s music has been featured on NPR’s Great American Folk Show and WFMT’s legendary Midnight Special program.

Mark Guarino of the Chicago Sun-Times writes of Rachel’s latest album, ““Rachel Drew has planted a flag for putting in the hours, and here are the spoils… finely crafted songs torched with Drew’s sumptuous voice and pulsing with nimble guitarwork… There isn’t a chorus that isn’t immediately catchy, but the allure is the deeper yearning — for a former confidant, outside connection, or unrequited love.”

PULLSTRING: Midwest Britpop, Alt-Rock, Pop-Punk in denial… you get the idea. Hailing from Minneapolis, Pullstring’s nostalgic brand of alt-rock channels the energy of the ’90s and early 2000s. Paying homage to influences like Green Day and The Replacements, the band delivers a high-energy live show anywhere there’s a PA and a crowd willing to listen.

Underneath the driving guitars and infectious melodies, Pullstring explores the tension and tenderness of being a young adult in the 2020s. Their lyrics confront loneliness, shifting identity, and the early sparks of relationships with honesty and relatability. Yet even in their most vulnerable moments, the band threads in a sense of humor and lightness that keeps their sound warm and inviting.

5PM to Nowhere:  

Milwaukee indie rock voyagers 5pm to Nowhere are quickly becoming a group to watch coming out of the Midwest. Walking in the footsteps of alternative icons such as Coldplay, Death Cab For Cutie, and Jimmy Eat World, their combination of earnest songwriting with sticky hooks and visceral performances has earned them much recognition for both their live and studio output, as they continue their sonic expedition into territories both nostalgic and unknown.

High-energy country with a soulful edge. Whiskey Nickel blends the grit of the classics with the polish of modern hits, driven by Nicolette Parada’s powerhouse vocals and a band that hits like a freight train. Originals, covers, and a live show that connects from the first note to the last call.

The Kitchen Table Tour is something Cory Waller and The Wicked Things have never done before: stripped-down, all-acoustic, intimate shows meant to emulate the feeling of passing a guitar around the kitchen table and swapping songs. In February, the band recorded their first-ever acoustic EP, “Kitchen Table,” at Golden Bear Records in Des Moines, IA and producer Bryan Vanderpool (The Well Pennies, Bo Ramsey, Deb Talan) has taken these new songs to an amazing place. “Kitchen Table” will be released on May 8th, and in celebration, the Kitchen Table Tour is coming to your town with some of the Midwest’s best songwriters.

Grown from the black dirt that Iowa is known for, Cory Waller and The Wicked Things are a band of hard-working friends, sons and daughters of farmers and small-town folks. The band has traversed the Midwest, sharing their brand of black dirt country music; sometimes, the shows The Wicked Things play have more people than those of their hometowns. They write music and perform for the people they grew up around. 

Formed in Bucca di Beppo’s (not the popular Italian-American family-style restaurant chain, but just an actual basement owned by a guy named Joe) Field Trip began as a musical experiment: What would popular songs from the late 1900s sound like if they were played by us? Could we hit the high notes on Whitney Houston’s cover of the Queen of Nashville’s ‘I Will Always Love You’? What would happen if we blend the theme song from the hit 1980s film Back To The Future with the erotic stylings of Marvin Gaye? To this day, we still ask these fundamental questions, and also why Andy continues to be the way that he is.

For us, music is about the search for possibilities. As Tom Petty once said, “the future was wide open,” and for Field Trip, it is. It truly is.

Field Trip plays songs by: Otis Redding, Neil Young, The Band, Marvin Gaye, Grateful Dead, Tom Petty, Talking Heads, Little Feat, David Bowie, The Beatles, Genesis, Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, Temple of the Dog, Pink Floyd, The Police, and more.

Born and raised in the Midwest, 2 Weeks Notice is a band of three brothers who’ve been playing music together for as long as they can remember. What started as a family jam session has grown into one of the region’s most exciting new country acts, a four-piece band blending heartfelt songwriting, blue-collar grit, and the kind of chemistry only brothers can share.

Since forming in 2021, 2 Weeks Notice has played more than 200 shows across the Midwest, opening for national acts like Lonestar, Tigirlily Gold, Josh Turner and Diamond Rio. Their live shows are known for their energy, authenticity, and a setlist that mixes polished originals with country favorites that keep the crowd on their feet.

Calling all friends, regulars and family! We are having a videoshoot for our website, and would love for all of you to join us! We will have some great drink specials, and an awesome country band playing! Gundo!! 

Hailing from the small-town heart of Northern Wisconsin, contemporary country artist Gundo (Ethan Gunderson) is gaining attention for his gritty vocals, honest songwriting, and authentic Midwestern sound. After first stepping on stage in 2022, Gundo quickly found his voice as both a performer and songwriter, building a growing grassroots following through his raw, heartfelt music.

After years of working on the road pouring concrete, Gundo made the decision to leave his job behind and fully commit to pursuing music. That leap of faith pushed him to the studio to record his debut EP Chose For Life and begin taking his songs to stages across the Midwest.

Now nominated for Male Vocalist of the Year, Gundo continues to turn heads with his powerful voice and honest storytelling. With singles “Twisted” and “Sippin Heavy” streaming on all platforms and more music on the way, he is currently booking shows into 2026 as his fanbase continues to grow.

Formed in September 2021, Los Mitoteros have evolved fast—new chapters, new textures, same mission: keep it danceable, keep it musical, keep it alive. Their shows move through tempo and feel with intention, shifting from hypnotic pulse to full-body lift-off without losing the thread. The core group moves like a tight band—drums, congas, bass, guitar, and keys—then expands or strips down depending on the room, with a rotating horn section when the moment calls for it. Rooted in Latin jazz but never stuck there, their sets weave cumbia, boleros, bossa, and regional Mexican influences into something dance-forward and distinctly live—grooves that stretch, turn, and snap back into the pocket.

For over a decade, Wapatui has brought the jams to you with great original music and covers. Milwaukee, WI has been our home and we love the midwest vibe. Come party with the band and add your flavor to the mix.
