JONNY CORNDAWG - Corndawg is likely the only country singer influenced by hardcore punk, TRON, Tim Conway and ’50s gay pulp novels. Whether he’s dancing mock-Cossack style, playing shirtless on top of a Suburban (as he did outside Woody’s Tavern in Louisville last year) or plying his trade in a more traditional club setting, Corndawg’s singular goal is to plaster smiles across the mugs of a lucky few. Like John Prine, he conveys profound observations by exploring at times mundane lyric themes. “Lack of education didn’t hold me back / I use real butter on my buttermilk stack / I don’t need Gold’s Gym / ’cause I’m happy and fat,” he claims on “Midlife Crisis.” Corndawg is not the new James Taylor, but rather represents an alternative to middlebrow whose music spans the lo-fi folk of troubadours like The Frogs and Sentridoh and country-rockabilly freaks like Hasil Adkins and Marvin Rainwater.

ICE - ROD - A watercolor painting teacher by trade, ICE ROD is the most positive and sexually driven hip-hop artist in the US. This will be one of his first shows since taking a break after winning several freestyle competitions in Minneapolis - and receiving death threats as a result, forcing him to take a break.
