AC/DC TRIBUTE
HELLS BELLS

Friday, August 7 -- 8:00 PM

Hells/Bells–a tribute to AC/DC is guaranteed to ROCK YOUR ASS!!! They are one of the most powerful and electrifying acts in the United States, and since 1996, Hells/Bells has been tearing up stages across 36 states with a driving presence and energy that is matched by no one.

Hells/Bells covers all the hits. Their show delivers two bone crushing hour long sets complete with Angus's strip tease, pyrotechnics, and two live firing cannons when allowed. These guys rip through AC/DC riffs as if they wrote the songs themselves. They are the next best to the real thing. From the early seventies Australian club scene, emerged a band that would become one of the most influential musical entities in rock and roll history. Still rocking decades later , AC/DC still has one of the largest loyal followings worldwide.

MICHAEL
SEARCHING BEAR

Friday, August 21 -- 8:00 PM

An accomplished musician, Michael Searching Bear’s love of music and search for his native heritage led him to the Native American wood flute. With more than 35 years of experience as a performance and studio musician—as a drummer and percussionist—he developed his talents and perfected his gift for mastering intricate rhythms. He later learned the electric, acoustic, and classical guitars, as well as music theory, history, and ethnomusicology. With this knowledge, Michael Searching Bear desired to incorporate many types of instruments and backgrounds into his compositions.

Michael Searching Bear makes his entire career as a musician, performer, educator, and Native American wood flute maker. He teaches Native American culture across the country in historical societies, businesses, native arts organizations, colleges, day care facilities, and national events.

He was a 2008 Native American Music Award nominee and a Spirit Wind Records Silver Arrow Award winner for outstanding contribution to Native American music in 2008. He was a presenter at the annual Native American Music Awards (Nammy's) in 2007 and 2008, and he was nominated in 2007 for the Aboriginal People's Choice Awards in three categories. In 2006, he earned the Just Plain Folk Music Award for album of the year for “Voice From Within” and was nominated for song of the year for “The Gathering.” That year he was nominated in six categories for the Native American Music Awards. His music has been heard on The History Channel's "Windtalkers" weekly radio show; Kulture Kids; and spots for ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC.

The Smokin Fez Monkeys are a special ops unit in the war against seriousness. If you force us to describe ourselves, we might evade you with something artsy and esoteric like, “Cheapshot trashophonic retrovaudevillian gypsy hobo quackeristic wackhouse with a twist of Spike on the cutting edge of cornball.” But you can just call us a jug band. Our mission is to do to music what the Wienermobile did to the auto, what M.C. Escher did to the third dimension, what Bugs Bunny did to Elmer Fudd. We're trying like crazy to put the fun back into live music and bring the audience back into the mix. So give us a listen. Better yet, come and see us. And prepare yourself to clap your hands and stamp your feet and sing along; be part of the show, make smart remarks, and have a barrel of fun. We were going to say something about our great talent and brilliant technical skills, but we're out of space. Oh, yeah. Don't buy anything from Rattletrap Jack.
