Moonbeau started as a synth-pop solo-project by Christian Gough of The Yugos,
an indie rock staple in Cincinnati. Through Moonbeau, Gough was able to focus on improving his home studio production
techniques and use throwback pop sounds compared to what you'd hear on an A-HA or Flock of Seagulls record. Over the last
two years, Gough's project Moonbeau has picked up speed with help from new band members Claire Muenchen (keys/vox) and Alex
Murphy-White (drums). Last year, the group signed to Old Flame Records and began recording their first debut album. If
you are looking for infectious melody and a danceable beat, Moonbeau will never disappoint. Powerful choruses and simple,
yet catchy, guitar leads will ensue. Delivering a sense of nostalgia with almost every note, Moonbeau will make your heart flutter
and break.

This campy cult classic (which unfortunately, we can't name here, but you can watch the trailer over there) is the most popular
midnight movie of all time. A corn-fed all-American couple stumbles onto a creepy castle one night when their car breaks
down, entering a world they never dreamed existed. The castle turns out to be inhabited by a collection of kinky Transylvanian

hundreds of cult fans show up in costume and act out scenes from the movie.

#SongwritersCircle
the Irving Theater welcomes
Songwriters Circle featuring Haunted Like Human
(Nashville) Delta Duo
(Indianapolis) Donn Smith and Savannah
(Indianapolis) Guest
(Somewhere)
8:00p / doors 7:30p | free ($5 suggested)
Haunted Like Human is bringing a new roots voice to Nashville: two
parts folk, one part Americana, and a dash of indie vibes. Classically trained guitarist Cody Clark has played everything
from post-hardcore to jazz. Vocalist Dale Chapman grew up writing prose and poetry, and she brings her strong imagery and
storytelling into her music. A combination of Northwestern grit and Southern charm, the two strive to create a unique and
intimate listening experience.
Their debut album, Ghost Stories, was released in September of 2017. Their latest EP, Folklore, is out now.
Pre-WWII Mississippi Delta blues with an Eastern European flair. The Delta Duo
— JJ Stenzoski and Irina Povarova — marries the raw tone of a National resonator slide guitar to the sweet purity of the classical
Russian violin.
World-class Russian violinist Irina Povarova was formally trained in classical violin at the Kazan musical conservatory in
Tatarstan, Russia. She has toured throughout Europe with the Symphonic Orchestra of the Radio and TV Company of Belarus and
more recently has performed stateside with the Carmel Symphony Orchestra and her chamber music quartet in venues across central
Indiana, including Carmel’s new Palladium. Offstage, Irina is a highly-respected instructor of violin, viola, and piano.
Born and raised in Chicago, blues guitarist JJ Stenzoski is currently a lecturer in creative writing and English composition at
Indiana University in Indianapolis. He is a devotee and scholar of early acoustic blues and brings his passion for these
musical roots to each performance. JJ studied under the personal tutelage of world-renown artists Stefan Grossman, Woody
Mann, and acoustic blues master Rory Block.

Forest Green is a Michigan-based four piece rock outfit with a unique blend of alternative and
post-hardcore roots, and who have etched their way into the scene with a style of their own. Displaying a raw, intense and an
emotion-filled sound, they’ve proven to bring nothing but energy and passion to their music and live performances.”
In August Forest Green joined the roster of independent labor No
Sleep Records. Forest Green joins a roster of some of the hottest, rising and established rock, punk and emo bands
around like Hot Mulligan, Living With Lions, Slow Bloom among others.
Originated in Columbus, Ohio in early 2016, Overgrow is
the solo project of singer/guitarist Jake Ciccotelli. A side project in its early days, Overgrow functioned as Ciccotelli’s
outlet for all of the facets of life that were difficult to vocalize traditionally. In late 2017, after the breakup of his
previous band, Overgrow entered a period of reinvention, in which the debut EP The House You Made was written - this time
with a full-band delivery. The release primarily touches on grieving the loss of Ciccotelli’s late father, who had passed
away suddenly in October of 2017. The release also tackles themes of self-criticism, and taking charge of one’s own mental health.
Since Nappy Roots entered the music scene in 1998, they have remained real,
humble, talented guys with inherent, undeniable southern swagger. After the international success of Watermelon, Chicken, &
Grits, selling over 3 million albums, the members of Nappy Roots were flying high while still acutely aware of how far it could
be to the bottom should they fall. It is that practical and genuine presence of mind that helped them sustain touring as a
group these last ten years. Building a vastly loyal fan-base nationwide, fans and friends can be used interchangeably when
referring to their army of followers.
After severing ties with Atlantic Record and going independent, it was inevitable change was his own for solo efforts. Nappy Roots
had no choice but to keep it moving and did so as smoothly as possible. As the saying goes, “the show must go on,” and so it
has, obstacles included.
With a heavy heart and no major label record deal, Nappy Roots knew they had to remain in pursuit of their destiny and, thus,
Nappy Roots Entertainment Group was formed. The members of Nappy Roots were facing foreclosures and a mountain of stress in
the jobless economy, but still they remained positive and pushed on, while never forgetting where they came from and what they had
accomplished. With fans constantly communicating with the members online and at shows, the guys realized they weren’t the only
ones having trouble.
With the release of their tenth mix-tape Shit's Beautiful and the departure of Big V from the group, as he left to pursue a
solo career, Nappy Roots forges forward. Between touring and recording, the four-man group focuses on consistently putting
out quality hip-hop.
A weak man with no vision, no diligence behind the vision, and no faith behind the diligence would have given up, but Skinny
Deville, Fishscales, B. Stille and Ron Clutch did, can, and will handle this and more, all in the name of Nappy Roots.

Kings Kaleidoscope and Special Guests embark on their first nationwide
tour, covering 25 US cities promoting their newest album, "ZEAL".
Kings Kaleidoschope has a history of breaking convention. The band first met at church, reimagining hymns and ecclesial
melodies. But what started under lofted ceilings soon broke through, reaching the ready ears of crowds and critics. Five EPs
and two critically-acclaimed LPs later (both landing in the top 10 on Billboard's gospel chart), King's continues to reinvent their
medium. Genre-bending rhythms, bold arrangements, and soaring melodies underscore the diverse influences within the band.
Chad Gardner leads the collective of friends; up to ten members strong, and all hands stretch the canvas until it sings.
Their latest project, “The Beauty Between,” is another transformation, but what remains true—and what resonates with fans—is
the creative core: an honest expression of the ache, love, and color of a life redeemed.
