Get ready for a night of timeless rock, blues & soul with local acts The Troublemakers and the John Fries Band!

The Troublemakers

The Troublemakers are an elite, high-energy rock group composed of seasoned veteran musicians from the Connecticut and Rhode Island music scenes. Formed in 2016 from members of prominent regional acts like the 100 Watt Suns and The Hoolios, the band delivers a devastating, dual-drummer pocket anchored by Ronnie Lewis and Don "DC" Culp, alongside soaring keyboard tracks from Dan Sherer and blistering lead guitar work from Bill Light. While they are not a standard cover band, they have built a massive reputation across New England for playing unmatched live tributes to The Allman Brothers Band alongside a raucous, improvisation-heavy rotation of classic rock and roll from the 1960s and '70s.

The John Fries Band

John Fries is a singer-songwriter whose music seamlessly blends the raw emotion of blues and rock & roll with soul. Drawing inspiration from a diverse array of musical legends, including Eric Clapton, Amos Lee, Martin Sexton, D’Angelo, the Black Crowes, Joey Landreth, and Chris Whitley.

"Grown up on blues and soul music, John Fries fills his album with a fresh and distinct brand of roots rock that shows he operates on an uncommonly high plateau of maturity and talent as a singer, a guitarist and a songwriter" - Downbeat Magazine
