Join us for a night of music from Rusty Vining & His Friends, Jon Hayes, and Andrew Vance Nelson!
The Stray is a listening room style venue and cafe, where performers are front and center, not background entertainment. We frequently ask attendees to silence their phones and keep conversations low out of respect to performers and other audience members.
In addition to our craft beer, coffee and wine selection, our kitchen will be open serving our full dinner menu until 9pm! Get here early to snag your favorite seat and grab a bite to eat before the show begins. Save money by getting discounted tickets online in advance.

Musical story-teller Rusty Vining, weaves narrative lyricism, and dynamic musicianship to dive headfirst into emotional, and often layered, subjects in a way that emphasizes shared human experiences, opting often times to utilize fiction, rather than biography, to peel away the perceived separation most of us carry with us.
Whether performing solo, or with other accompanying instruments each live performance is crafted to immerse audiences into the full sensory experience of the story being told.
His sound has drawn comparisons to Wilco, The Arcade Fire, Paul Simon, The National, and Springsteen to name a few.

The first time you hear Kalamazoo-based songwriter Jon Hayes you are immediately reminded of John Mayer. With his soulful tones and a storytelling ability reminiscent of Bon Iver and NEEDTOBREATHE, this musician carries an unwavering commitment to authenticity and honesty. He's just released his first record "Between You & Me,", physically, this year which includes the previously released "Nursery Lie" which garnered 10,000 streams in its first six months and the title track "Between You & Me," which has been received well by fans and indie-folk playlists alike as well as other acoustic driven tunes. It's an album that embodies honesty, seeking to drop the facade and opening up about our true thoughts and feelings.
