Best Indie & Rock Jul 25 - Sep 25

in Springfield

Toad the Wet Sprocket at Gillioz Theatre

Toad the Wet Sprocket

After reuniting in 2006, Toad the Wet Sprocket have set out to honor their contribution to the landscape of the early '90s, including 1991's 'All I Want' and 'Walk on the Ocean', by performing, reworking and updating their back catalog, without losing their emotional core. They're back on the road again - don't miss them in action!

Ben Folds at Gillioz Theatre

Ben Folds

The frontman of his self-named band, rock artist and producer Ben Folds continues to work with some of the most eclectic names in music and entertainment (remember his Common People cover that featured William Shatner and Bill Clinton?), as well as pushing the envelope on alt-rock ever further. A self-confessed enigma, he prefers to stay out of the limelight except when touring, but can easily claim credit for some of music's most unlikely trends.

Aaron Lewis at Black Oak Mountain Amphitheater

Aaron Lewis

Aaron Lewis is a founding member and the frontman of the popular rock band Stained and a Grammy Award-nominated songwriter. See him live this year as he takes to the road around the US as a solo artist performing his own country-influenced material. Not to be missed for fans of this very talented musician!

Big Head Todd and the Monsters at Gillioz Theatre

Big Head Todd and the Monsters

Formed in 1986 Big Head Todd and The Monsters (or BHTM) hail from the mountainous state of Colorado. Although they're now on a worldwide platform, BHTM music still encapsulates the heart of the rocky mountains, with their fast-paced rock leaving fans dancing all night long! Don't miss your chance to see them live when they hit the road in their new tour!

Skillet at Ozark Empire Fairgrounds

Skillet

One of the most dedicated bands in the Christian Praise and Worship music scene, Skillet perfectly balance their religious leanings with metal-tinged, hard-rocking authenticity. Formed in 1996, their dedication and work ethic amassed a fervent fan base and they broke through to mainstream recognition with the release of their fourth album Alien Youth in 2001. Don't miss the Memphis quartet as they hit venues across North America this year.
