Michael Constantine, Born Michael Constantine Triant is a Michigan native that has been writing songs, recording, and performing for over three decades. He is the founder of the bands “Black McKenzie” in the early 2000’s and “Barrel Bones” more recently, but in his latest efforts Constantine does so with just his voice and acoustic guitar. Influenced by blues, roots, rock and a touch of mainstream, he describes his current work as “attempting to make sense of my place in the world through music with songs of hope, heartache, failure, and redemption”.

Emerging from the vibrant heart of Grand Rapids, Michigan, Lighting Matches is an alternative-rock ensemble that seamlessly merges a plethora of musical backgrounds. While they honor their deep-rooted origins, they're unafraid to ignite new paths, challenging and transcending traditional genre boundaries. Lighting Matches is celebrated for their introspective narratives and tight harmonies which offer listeners a poignant and memorable musical experience. The dynamic pairing of Matt Plessner and Rachel White provides the soulful front for the band, delivering performances that captivate and resonate. Their complementing tones and styles are underlined by the impeccable musicianship of Mark Jilbert and Scott Garrison, who form the band's robust backbone.

Nathan Walton touched down with a splash, on the big American Idol TV show. But since then, he has proven, over and over, that he can swim home on his own. A voice that conjures up hard times and good vibes, hard living and thanks-giving. A band, the Remedy, that is just stacked with talent from top to bottom, the prime vehicle to drive these messages home all night. Nathan Walton has the remedy for what ails ya with his pure American music. From a growl to a whisper, from a gentle strum to a soulful roar, this is music for a great night out.
