Get ready to jump into the 80s as Trixy Tang presents a Van Halen tribute show that’ll rock the Honor Credit Union stage in Presidential Brewing’s outdoor beer garden! Fresh off their win as Michigan Cover Band of the Year, Trixy Tang is here to deliver a high-voltage performance that’ll transport you straight to the era of big riffs and even bigger hair. Kicking off the night is our very own POTUS and the Cabinet, led by Presidential Brewing Company owner Jake Lohse, setting the stage with a rockin’ mix of classics and hits from the 90s-2000's.
Trixy Tang knows how to channel Van Halen’s legendary energy, bringing the swagger of David Lee Roth and the jaw-dropping guitar magic of Eddie Van Halen to life. From the blistering solos to the party-hard anthems, they’ll have you air-guitaring and shouting along as they pay tribute to one of rock’s most iconic bands. Their recent award as Michigan Cover Band of the Year proves they’re the real deal, delivering a show that’s as authentic as it is electrifying. Opening the night, POTUS and the Cabinet will get the crowd pumped with their diverse setlist, blending the Southern rock grit of Lynyrd Skynyrd, the 90s alternative edge of Collective Soul and Stone Temple Pilots, the pop-rock hooks of Fastball and Matchbox Twenty, and the classic rock power of Grand Funk Railroad. With Jake Lohse leading the charge—doubling as the frontman and the mastermind behind Presidential Brewing—this opening act promises a set that’s packed with nostalgia and energy, perfectly setting the tone for the Van Halen tribute to follow.
There’s no better place to experience this double dose of rock than Presidential Brewing’s outdoor beer garden, where Jake Lohse’s vision for great brews and live music comes to life. Picture a warm summer evening, a cold IPA or stout in your hand, and the sound of live rock music filling the air as you let loose with friends under the stars. It’s a night to relive the glory days of rock ‘n’ roll, feel the energy, and soak in the kind of performances that make live music unforgettable.
Make sure to arrive early to claim your spot, grab some food, and sip a brew before the first riff hits. Bring your own lawn chair to settle in comfortably—there’s a $10 cover charge, but with Trixy Tang’s award-winning Van Halen tribute and POTUS and the Cabinet’s rockin’ opener, it’s a steal for a summer evening you’ll never forget.
Join us at Presidential Brewing Company for a night of rock ‘n’ roll magic with Trixy Tang and POTUS and the Cabinet! Come ready to rock, raise your glass, and let the sounds of Van Halen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Matchbox Twenty, and more light up your summer night! 🎸🍺

🎤🍔 FOOD & DRINK INFO FOR CONCERT NIGHTS 🍺🎶
Starting at 6 PM, our outdoor beer garden transforms into the ultimate concert vibe, but with that energy comes a limited menu for all outside guests to keep things moving! Expect our classic brews and a streamlined food selection to fuel your night. If your favorite Presidential dish is not on the limited menu, you can still enjoy the entire menu by coming early before we change things over at 6 PM.
