Friday, July 26th

208 S Barstow Street
Eau Claire, WI

free | general admission | all ages | 8pm

Come enjoy this Twin Cities based Paramore cover band, live at The Plus!

Our Family Trolley Express is similar in spirit to our Signature Eau Claire Tour, just a bit shorter and more geared for kids 12 and under! In addition to all the sights and sounds, each child has an opportunity to ring a real trolley bell and take home a trolley coloring page.

The tour is NOT recommended for children younger than 2-years-old or those requiring rear-facing car seats. As with most bus-style transportation, the trolley is not equipped with seat belts. Depending on weather, be prepared for the trolley to be set up enclosed with sliding windows, or open-air with brass railings (and roll down curtains in case of rain). Appropriate clothing layers for heat/humidity, or cool breezes, is a good idea.

This tour lasts approximately 40-45 minutes.

ABOUT OUR HEADLINER

You saw him open for Sam Tallent earlier this year- now see him headline The Plus!

Ira Ford, from Maryland, was a lyricist before he followed his passion of comedy. He was always amazed at how a comedian could hold so many people’s attention. Now based in Minneapolis, he is an open book who talks about life experiences ranging from drugs to family. He unapologetically says what he thinks. His unique and hilarious stories earned him a semifinalist finish at The Funniest Person with a Day Job Contest at Rick Bronson’s House of Comedy, and had his own wildly popular monthly showcase which he hosted and curates “Laughs and Legends” at Lakes and Legends Brewery in downtown Minneapolis. He is currently a paid regular emcee at the hottest comedy club in Minnesota Acme Comedy Company.

Zymurderfest returns for its fifth season, bigger and more brutal than ever! 

TWO days with 12 bands - some of our favorites return to the brewery along with a few new faces.

Enjoy this charming experience taking you on a unique trolley ride to and through some of Eau Claire’s most beautiful, interesting, and iconic neighborhoods, districts, and historic sites. See and hear stories of turn-of-the-century industrial factories and lumber barons...

Ahmed Khalaf left community college with two credits to go and a dream,- to be the best darn comic in the world, or to get paid more than minimum wage. Neither of those things happened but Ahmed Khalaf uses his dark sense of humor to justify his shortcomings. Is that healthy? Not even a little bit, but it is funny.

THE LONE CANARY | ECHO PARLOR
LIVE AT THE PLUS

SATURDAY, AUGUST 17TH

208 S BARSTOW STREET
EAU CLAIRE, WI

FREE | ALL AGES | 8PM

ABOUT OUR PERFORMER

Anchored in the rich loam of Folk/Americana music, The Lone Canary embodies the harmonious talents of Heather Camacho and Jesse Fox. Camacho graces the stage with her rich vocals, dynamic fiddle, and rhythmic percussion, complemented by Fox's gruff voice and acoustic guitar resonances.

Their captivating sound has been likened to artists such as The Civil Wars (Joy Williams & John Paul White), Jason Isbell, and Brandi Carlile. Heralded by Americana UK for their "absorbing and beautiful songcraft," The Lone Canary has had the privilege of sharing the stage with notable acts including Three Dog Night, Over the Rhine, Pieta Brown, Lilly Hiatt, South for Winter, Zach Pietrini, Haunted Like Human.

Their latest offering, "Leave the Gray," features the expertise of GRAMMY-winning maestro David Donnelly, who has mastered for iconic artists Journey, Chicago, Aerosmith, and projects including Garden State - Music From The Motion Picture and Forrest Gump - The Soundtrack (and many others).

Lauded by A&R Factory for their "hypnotically suspenseful Americana folk." The Lone Canary's vocals are compared to the evocative tones of Stevie Nicks, culminating in an ethereal soundscape teeming with suspense and emotion.

Based in Rockford, IL, The Lone Canary is a long-standing musical alliance between Fox and Camacho, dating back to their high school years. Their collective journey resonates musically, delivering an authentic sound that is equal parts haunting and captivating.

Sarah Elstran will open the show, with songs from their new project, Echo Parlor.

In this Winery Tour, you’ll enjoy a scenic countryside trolley ride to three incredible establishments in the Chippewa Falls area: Dixon’s Autumn Harvest Winery, The Chippewa River Distillery, and River Bend Winery & Distillery.

Hidden deep along the river bends of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, you’ll find Motherwind. Forming in August of 2020, the quartet—Anthony Frey (vocals, guitar), Nate Rogers (lead guitar), Michael Hargens (bass), Jackson Kleingartner (drums)—has already taken lengthy strides in revealing their primal artistry to the masses, despite their formation amid the coronavirus pandemic. The group originally began writing songs under the name “The Color Scene” at a horse sanctuary owned by a mutual friend. Since then, the band has branded themselves under the new name with an electrifying live show in their arsenal. The young group’s 70s-bred roots and alt-groove sound has left the floors of rock clubs and bars tremoring, and the concoction of psychedelic riffs and hair-raising chord progressions leaves their audiences stirred.

Motherwind has shared the stage with the likes of Crobot, The Black Moods, Royal Bliss and P.O.D., and the band is consistently invited back to venues. With a tour schedule during the summer of 2021, the young group has already shown efficacy in creating a blazing reputation within the up-and-coming rock scene. Current focuses of the band include constructing their own recording studio above a weight training facility, releasing their breakthrough EP, maintaining a consistent touring schedule and of course finding new and exciting ways to bring people together with their tasty brand of alt-rock.

AMERICAN HITMEN

From the battlefields in Iraq to the legendary stage of Radio City Music Hall, the American Hitmen have done it all. Brothers and Marine Corps Combat Veterans, Tim and Dan Cord, founded the band with fellow Marines and musicians in 2005. After serving 4 honorable years and 2 combat tours in Iraq, they decided to leave the Marine Corps to pursue a career in music in 2007. In 2008, the brothers moved to Utah, where they fell into true harmony with the addition of drummer, Phil Snyder, and bassist, Dave Briggs.

In late 2009, the band was invited to be the first American rock band in 36 years to perform in Vietnam. At the Ho Chi Minh City Hard Rock Café, the American Hitmen brought a new and unfamiliar sound to the Vietnamese people, performing Aerosmith's "Walk This Way" with none other than Run DMC in front of a sold-out crowd, on the night of the Hard Rock grand opening.

In 2013, the band auditioned for and made it through 3 elimination rounds on Season 8 of America's Got Talent, finishing out their run with a pitch perfect live and televised performance at Radio City Music Hall. With their new found popularity, the band hit the North American tour circuit with a fury! Within the last 3 years, the American Hitmen have performed alongside some of the most internationally recognized musicians, such as Foo Fighters, Journey, Living Colour, Black Stone Cherry, the Charlie Daniels Band, Sheryl Crow, 3 Doors Down, Social Distortion and many more!

Spring of 2020, American Hitmen felt best to return to the core trio of Dan, Dave, and Phil.

As of 2020, the American Hitmen have performed in 30 countries, on 4 continents, and in 43 US states, on both commercial and Armed Forces Entertainment tours. The Hitmen have gained a sizeable and loyal international following as a result, leaving both civilian and military fans and venues begging for the band's hasty return to their side of the world!

The American Hitmen are definitely becoming the true definition of all things American and Rock ‘n' Roll.

ZAMTRIP

ZamTrip is a hard driving band out of Rock Springs, Wyoming. The three Zampedri brothers, Kyle, Cory and Cody joined forces with powerhouse vocalist Samantha Newman, and have been delivering their unique blend of alternative, hard rock and blues influenced music since 2012.

The band has been heavily influenced by acts such as Black Stone Cherry, Motley Crue, Halestorm and Foo Fighters.

Throughout the year the band has shared the stage with many heavy hitters including Halestorm, Nonpoint, 10 Years, Black Stone Cherry and countless other national acts.

THE BLUEBELL SMILE

They’re reluctant to be labeled, but if Jack White hitched a lift with Kurt Cobain in Jeff Buckley’s mini-van while Thom Yorke served them at a drive-thru and Led Zeppelin looked on from under the shade of a Joshua tree, you’d get The Bluebell Smile. The beauty of this young, stripped-back, four-piece — aka Olorin (vox, bass), Mateo Maz (guitar, bkg vox), Nathan Tsunoda (keys, bkg vox) and Charlie Ziman (drums) — is that they’ve absorbed the best of rock, alt-rock, and indie and made it their own. For real.

Our Family Trolley Express is similar in spirit to our Signature Eau Claire Tour, just a bit shorter and more geared for kids 12 and under! In addition to all the sights and sounds, each child has an opportunity to ring a real trolley bell and take home a trolley coloring page.

The tour is NOT recommended for children younger than 2-years-old or those requiring rear-facing car seats. As with most bus-style transportation, the trolley is not equipped with seat belts. Depending on weather, be prepared for the trolley to be set up enclosed with sliding windows, or open-air with brass railings (and roll down curtains in case of rain). Appropriate clothing layers for heat/humidity, or cool breezes, is a good idea.

This tour lasts approximately 40-45 minutes.

ABOUT OUR HEADLINER

Ateh Ekinde is an up and coming Minneapolis comedian who found his love for the stage in 2019 and has been quickly rising in the Twin Cities comedy scene ever since

FROM MNCOMEDY.COM:

Ateh Ekinde could be a doctor right now.

The 30-year-old was on course to enter medical school roughly four years ago, until a chance encounter with stand-up comedy changed his trajectory.

“When I was young I thought I really wanted to be a doctor,” Ekinde says. “Around 2019 I was trying to get into med school and sort of realized like, I’m not sure this is for me. I did my first open mic at Acme Comedy Company around that time and it went very well, and I was just like, ‘Oh, this is what I want to do.’”

Of course, telling mom and dad that you’re switching careers from doctor to aspiring stand-up comic isn’t necessarily a conversation that many parents dream of.

“It was tough because my parents had never really seen that side of me,” Ekinde continues. “They never saw that I had this joker or creative side. So I think the combination of that and the thought that I was just running away from medical school – which I was – gave them a lot of anxiety. But even though they may not have always believed in it [comedy], they always supported me.’”

Ekinde has come a long way since then, regularly featuring at clubs all over the Midwest, and opening for Brendan Gay on the road.

RED SCARE 20TH ANNIVERSARY: ON WISCONSIN!

with Arms Aloft | Brendan Kelly | Sincere Engineer

Sunday, September 15th

208 S Barstow Street
Eau Claire, WI

$10 advance | $15 day of show

General Admission | All Ages

Doors 7pm

ABOUT THE PERFORMERS

Arms Aloft are four Leftist punks from Eau Claire, Wisconsin.  Ya know the quiet person that sits in the corner that only speaks up once a year, but when they do, they say something inspiring, thoughtful, and profound?  That’s Arms Aloft.  Not the busiest group on the planet, but when the band materializes, the punk scene listens.  They are loud and proud socialists (Alright, alright, alright, just the way we like ‘em), and if there’s ever some wacky Right Wing takeover in America *looks around, laughs nervously* they’re coming for Arms Aloft first.  But good luck taking on this band, as they’re smart, scrappy, and they literally eat from garbage cans.  What a time to be barely alive!

Brendan Kelly is the dude from The Lawrence Arms and The Falcon.  Chicago boy done good.  Sometimes he goes solo and sometimes he soars with a dubious crew called the Wandering Birds.  He’s done a couple LPs and some 7”s with Red Scare, and it’s all pretty freaky stuff: songs about torture, songs about drugs, songs about pervs, songs about serial killers, and songs about your mom.  The recordings are definitely not your typical punk acoustic faire as he works with a full band of deviant collaborators, and the live show has been described as Andy Kaufman goes Kafka, but with songs about your mom.

Sincere Engineer began as a solo project for Deanna Belos, a nervous nerd from the same Chicago burbs that gave the world Slapstick and The Brokedowns.  Red Scare booked her first real live show, supporting labelmates Brendan Kelly and Sam Russo at Double Door in Chicago.  Not long after we released her debut album and got her on some big festivals and a tour opening for The Lawrence Arms.  Next thing we know, she’s got herself a full band and a big record deal with them fancy folks out in Smellay!  The band continues to grow and keeps a busy tour schedule, and we continue to sing along and cheer for Sincere Engineer…

Alice Di Micele Live at The Plus

Sunday, November 10th, 5pm

208 S Barstow Street
Eau Claire, WI

free | all ages | general admission

The first thing you ‘ll notice about Alice Di Micele is her voice. With a five-octave range that is intense, sensual, rich and soulful, Di Micele has been known to turn a noisy bar silent within a few notes. Her warm presence and humor disarm and create a rare intimacy between audience and performer. Whether singing a jazzy-folk number, belting a sassy blues, crooning a hushed ballad, or rocking out on one of her trademark rhythmic earthy grooves, Alice is a vocalist that moves people. A kick-ass guitarist as well, whether playing solo or with a band “Force of Nature” her acoustic guitar conjures pecussive poly-rhythms, bass lines, and melodies that perfectly frame her voice.

With seventeen solo recordings and 35 years of touring to her credit her songwriting has covered a lot of ground. Her early albums are filled with folky anthems to the earth and as her music has grown so has her ability to express universal themes touching on politics and environmental concerns, human relationships and emotions all in a very musical way. Di Micele cannot be pegged into one category or style as she is truly unique. On her latest album “Interpretations: Vol 1,” Alice shares her skill as an interpreter of other people’s songs including tunes from Neil Young, Kate Wolf, Rev. Gary Davis, Sting, the Grateful Dead, Tom Petty, Christine McVie, and Abbey Lincoln.

In 1988, Alice Di Micele released her first album “Make A Change” and started touring the country performing at venues large and small: from Festivals such as the Strawberry Music Festival, the Kate Wolf Music Festival, and the Oregon Country Fair to venues such as the Kuumbwa Jazz Center in Santa Cruz, the Roseland Theater in Portland, and the Fineline Music Cafe in Minneapolis to countless coffeehouses, pubs, cafes, community halls, and even house concerts. Alice has shared the stage with folks like Bonnie Raitt, Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie, Janis Ian, David Grisman, Steve Winwood, JJ Cale, Michael Franti, Rising Appalachia, and many more. A true Independent musician, she has gained critical acclaim from press, a dedicated fan-base, and her contemporaries all the without the help of a record contract, agency, or management.
