Sometimes you need a friend to laugh with and sometimes you need a friend to cry with. The two-man band Sinners & Saints, from Charlotte, NC, fits the bill for both. Whether they?re crooning about heartbreak or tearing it up with joyful abandon, you?ll feel happier for having listened. Perry Fowler and Mark Baran infuse their acoustic, country-tinged tunes with compelling harmonies and foot-powered percussion on repurposed drums from an abandoned kit.
Since the band?s formation in 2011, Sinners & Saints has been gathering a following of fans who turn to their whiskey drinking, shit kickin?, sweet loving music for a good time but find something more ? an irrepressible optimism even in dark times. We?re all sinners and we?re all saints, and we?re all in it together.

Come on out for an evening of music that you won't soon forget!! Renowned guitar playing, a soulful voice, and classics from all different genres of music!

Just when you think you have King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard sussed they throw a curveball. Australia?s finest and most productive rock band have done this before, of course: while the world was still reeling from their 2014 breakthrough psych-punk masterpiece I?m In Your Mind Fuzz (2014) they casually released 2015?s expectation-confounding Paper Mâché Dream Balloon (2015), a pastoral, sun-drenched acid-folk album.

And now in the wake of two albums released in 2017 already, including most recently the dystopian end-times concept album Murder Of The Universe, which tackled in no uncertain terms the rise of robots and the downfall of mankind (and as such was the best since Jeff Wayne?s War Of The Worlds), comes an entirely altered beast. Sketches Of Brunswick East is a collaboration between King Gizzard and Mild High Club, the Los Angeles based tripster troupe led by Alex Brettin, who put out one of 2016?s deepest listens, Skiptracing. The two bands formed a strong friendship touring together throughout the USA, Europe, and Australia.

Bowling For Soup

Tickets & Info: www.theorangepeel.net/event/bowling-for-soup-2/

There?s a place called The Sweetwater Tavern just off the main square in Denton, Texas. You?ve perhaps not been there, but if you?re familiar with Bowling For Soup, the larger than life Texan band who have delivered infectious power pop music to the world for over two decades, you?ll most certainly know the name. Why? Because rather than trying to break away from their hometown, BFS simply took their hometown with them and into the hearts of millions of people all over the world. It?s this lovable honesty that has served them well since forming back in 1994.

Everyone can relate to what BFS sing about, everyone can relate to the characters in the band ? singer Jaret Reddick, guitarist Chris Burney, bassist Erik Chandler and drummer Gary Wiseman ? we want to be their friends, heck, as far as they?re concerned, we ARE their friends!

Everybody LOVES Bowling For Soup ? it?s plain to see!

2016 sees the release of the brand new, fan funded album, ?DRUNK DYNASTY?, follow up to 2014?s Greatest Hits collection ?Songs People Actually Liked ? The First 10 Years? and the first album of new material since 2013?s perhaps darker, reflective album ?LUNCH.DRUNK.LOVE?. The new eleven track album is bursting at the seams with undeniable feel good, smile inducing pop rock goodness such as ?Hey Diane? and ?Stop Doing That? right through to epic, hands in the air anthems like the epic ?Catalyst?. There are no boundaries for where they go next because they will always do it with honesty and a smile. That way, whatever the outcome, they can never fail.

Abbey Road LIVE! Beatles tribute
Sat June 16 at The Orange Peel
Doors 7 PM, Show 8 PM
-------------------------
"one of the world's premier Beatles cover bands?
-US News and World Report, December 2012

"unquestionably expert at what they do?
-Indyweek, September 2013

Since 2002, Abbey Road LIVE! has been rocking the music of The Beatles. Initially a tribute to the monumental "Abbey Road" album, the band has expanded its repertoire to include more than 150 Beatles tunes, from all eras of the Fab Four's career.

This is not your typical Beatle look-alike tribute act; don't expect mop-top haircuts and fake British accents. Rather, an Abbey Road LIVE! show is about bringing to life some of the more mature and complex Beatles material in a raw & spirited fashion, while remaining true to the original recordings. Combining attention to detail with a creative exuberance, the band always delights its audiences with its diverse repertoire of hits and more obscure favorites.
