Recovery Fest STL 2025 @ Kirkwood Park Lion’s Amphitheater

Recovery Fest STL is an alcohol/drug-free festival of Fun, Music, and Connection celebrating the St. Louis Recovery Community and their allies. And it’s Free!

Below are the bands schedule:

12-1:30PM: Steve Ewing Band

St. Louis-based musician Steve Ewing is best known as the golden voice behind the seven-piece powerhouse The Urge.

The Urge was formed in high school in the late 1980’s – an eclectic mix of reggae, hip hop, ska, and punk that sent a sonic shockwave through the Midwest music scene that can still be felt today.  Many St. Louis natives fondly remember The Urge from their intense, face-melting shows at venues such as Mississippi Nights and local festivals like PointFest.  Today, Steve Ewing continues to play actively with The Urge, the Steve Ewing Band, the Steve Ewing Duo and Master Blaster, and also owns and operates Steve’s Hot Dogs – home of the Official Hot Dog of St. Louis.

2-3:30PM: Jake’s Leg

Deadheads in St. Louis know Jake’s Leg.  The band and their audience have an on-going dialogue based in their mutual love of the music.

They have been providing music for the scene for 49 years, playing thousands of shows to generations of like-minded fans who just wanna keep on dancin’. Maybe you’ve heard them in some dumpy little bar like the old Twenty North or at Busch Stadium: they’ve played’em all and continue to do so on a regular basis. And the band keeps growing.

4-5:30PM: Sean Canan’s Voodoo Players

Sean Canan’s Voodoo Players is a dynamic collective of St. Louis musicians, renowned for their unique approach to live performances. Led by guitarist and musical director Sean Canan, the group reimagines the music of legendary artists, offering fresh interpretations that captivate audiences. Since their inception in 2014, they have become a staple in the local music scene.  There is no other band in the St. Louis area that will tackle the multitude of musical creations that Voodoo Players does with such tenacity and energy.
