The Palace in the Backyard

The Palace in the Backyard is an annual mini-festival set in a picturesque backyard along the White River in the Ravenswood neighborhood of Indianapolis. It was created to provide an intimate setting for music-lovers to experience local band The Palace, winners of MOKB’s 2020 Battle of the Bands, winners of a 2023 Regional Emmy, and performers at the All IN, WonderRoad, and Indy Pride festivals.

Now in its 4th year, The Palace in the Backyard has grown to include other local bands, art vendors, and small businesses. Run by artists, the event is designed to be a showcase of the incredible musical and artistic talent Indianapolis has to offer. This is an all-ages event and ALL are welcome. Food and alcohol will be available for purchase. No outside food/drink allowed.

THE PALACE

The Palace is uncontained soul from the lips of a rockstar on Broadway. Vocal runs and soaring guitar solos are the crown jewels of a modern blues band taken over by Queen reincarnate, including a front man whose presence transcends. The Palace’s loyal following routinely packs in the largest independent venues Indianapolis has to offer as their presence spreads in places like WonderRoad or All IN Festivals in 2022. You can listen to their debut album Rainbow Shades on Spotify (or whereever you get your music)

NOTE FROM THE ORGANIZER:

I first caught wind of The Palace in 2019 or 2020. Seeing them perform is always a very special and intimate experience. I wanted to match that feeling to a place.. a place that felt more intimate than a bar or music venue. So in 2021--we had the 1st Palace in the Backyard Event.

I have seen The Palace perform so many times now and they NEVER disappoint. The energy they bring is soulful, raw, and free, so seeing these guys live is always a real treat. If you don't know The Palace and you haven't seen them live yet, here's your chance! If you have seen The Palace, we'll see ya there!
