Dogs In A Pile @ Delmar Hall
2026-04-26 20:00 | Delmar Hall, 6133 Delmar Blvd., Saint Louis, MO, 63112, United States
The sandy shores of Asbury Park, New Jersey are hallowed ground in the Northeast; the rolling waves have ushered generations of venerated musicians to worldwide acclaim. Dogs In A Pile, an eclectic quintet, has emerged as the heir apparent to the town’s rich musical legacy. Merging funk, jazz, and rock and roll with psychedelia, the band presents a completely original vibe built on kaleidoscopic soundscapes eerily reminiscent of the days of yesteryear.
Dogs formed when Jersey Shore native and guitar gun-slinger Jimmy Law began playing with family friend Joe Babick (drums) at a young age. Lightning struck when they were introduced to Berklee School of Music student and bass player Sam Lucid, who immediately suggested fellow Berklee student and keyboard player Jeremy Kaplan. The addition of Berklee student Brian Murray (guitar) in 2019 made for the quintessential final piece in the Dogs’ puzzle.
A string of sold-out local shows drove the development of a massive Northeast fan base, affectionately known as the Dog Pound. As the band has traversed new territory, their astronomical rise has continued nationwide. Armed with an evolving catalog of material and cultivation of an identity unique to Dogs In A Pile, the quintet is laying down a musical and communal foundation most often associated with the scene’s most beloved acts.

The Wailers @ Atomic
2026-04-28 19:00 | Atomic, 4140 Manchester Ave, St. Louis, MO, 62110, United States
In 2026, The Wailers celebrate 50 years of Rastaman Vibration, marking a defining moment in reggae history and honoring one of Bob Marley & The Wailers’ most influential albums. This special tour, 50 Years of Positive Vibrations, highlights select cuts from Rastaman Vibration alongside the timeless classics that continue to unite audiences across generations.
Released in 1976, Rastaman Vibration was a pivotal album that carried reggae’s message of resistance, spirituality, and hope onto the global stage. Songs like “Positive Vibration,” “Roots, Rock, Reggae,” and “War” remain as relevant today as ever — powerful expressions of music as both a cultural force and a call for unity.
Under the leadership of Aston Barrett Jr., son of legendary bassist Aston “Familyman” Barrett, The Wailers continue to honor their roots while carrying the music forward with purpose and authenticity. Joined by Mitchell Brunings, whose soulful vocals and commanding stage presence have captivated audiences worldwide, the band delivers performances that embody the enduring spirit of reggae — uplifting, conscious, and deeply human.
Audiences can expect a soul-stirring setlist that weaves together the revolutionary spirit of Rastaman Vibration, the band’s classic anthems, and select modern highlights — all delivered with the same authenticity, musicianship, and heart that made The Wailers a cornerstone of global music.
50 Years of Positive Vibrations is more than a tour — it’s a celebration of music with meaning, a living connection between reggae’s golden era and its continuing power to inspire unity, resilience, and hope.

Leftover Salmon's Arch Deluxe @ Atomic
2026-05-01 18:30 | Atomic, 4140 Manchester Ave, St. Louis, MO, 62110, United States
Leftover Salmon’s Arch Deluxe -2 DAY
Friday May 1,2026 & Saturday May 2, 2026
Tier 1 GA 2 Day – SOLD OUT – Stay tuned, tier 2 coming soon!
Single tickets for May 1, 2026 available
Few bands stick around for thirty-five years. Even fewer bands leave a legacy during that time that marks them as a truly special, once-in-lifetime type band. And no band has done all that and had as much fun as Leftover Salmon. Since their earliest days as a forward thinking, progressive bluegrass band who had the guts to add drums to the mix and who was unafraid to stir in any number of highly combustible styles into their ever evolving sound, to their role as a pioneer of the modern jamband scene, to their current status as elder-statesmen of the scene who cast a huge influential shadow over every festival they play, Leftover Salmon has been a crucial link in keeping alive the traditional music of the past while at the same time pushing that sound forward with their own weirdly, unique style.
The band now features a lineup that has been together longer than any other in Salmon history and is one of the strongest the legendary band has ever assembled. Built around the core of founding members Drew Emmitt and Vince Herman, the band is now powered by banjo-wiz Andy Thorn and driven by the steady rhythm section of bassist Greg Garrison, drummer Alwyn Robinson, and dobro player & keyboardist Jay Starling. The current lineup is continuing the long, storied history of Salmon which found them first emerging from the progressive bluegrass world and coming of age as one the original jam bands, before rising to become architects of what has become known as Jamgrass and helping to create a landscape where bands schooled in the traditional rules of bluegrass can break free of those bonds through nontraditional instrumentation and an innate ability to push songs in new psychedelic directions live.
Salmon is a band who for more than thirty-five years has never stood still; they are constantly changing, evolving, and inspiring. If someone wanted to understand what Americana music is they could do no better than to go to a Leftover Salmon show, where they effortlessly glide from a bluegrass number born on the front porch, to the down-and-dirty Cajun swamps with a stop on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, to the hallowed halls of the Ryman in Nashville, before firing one up in the mountains of Colorado.

Emerging onto the scene in the late 1980s, he quickly gained attention for his blend of contemporary blues, rock, and soul influences.
As the next generation of Allman music, Devon continues to innovate and captivate audiences with his skillful guitar playing and compelling songwriting. His artistic contributions are proof of his impact on the blues rock as both a deeply personal and universally resonant genre.

Elijah Wald @ Music Folk
2026-05-02 19:30 | Music Folk, 8015 Big Bend Blvd, St Louis, MO, 63119, United States
Elijah Wald has been performing for almost fifty years in a wide variety of styles, from blues, folk, ragtime, swing, country, and cowboy songs to classic Swahili pop, the Bahamian guitar style of Joseph Spence, and Mexican corridos. He hit the road in his late teens as a rambling busker and has toured all over the United States and much of the rest of the world, playing in coffeehouses, bars, nightclubs, colleges, concert halls, and on festival stages from New Orleans to Chicago, Tokyo, Salzburg, and Sydney.
Elijah’s mentors include Dave Van Ronk, with whom he performed, recorded, and wrote Dave’s memoir, The Mayor of MacDougal Street (which inspired the Coen Brothers’ movie Inside Llewyn Davis); Howard Armstrong, the legendary Black string band master, with whom he toured for five years; Eric Von Schmidt, the founding father of the Cambridge folk/blues scene; and Jean-Bosco Mwenda, the father of Congolese acoustic guitar. He won a 2002 Grammy (for liner notes, which in Van Ronk’s words “is kind of like getting the Nobel Prize in fingerpainting,” but still nice), filmed a highly-regarded instructional video on the guitar style of the Bahamian wizard Joseph Spence, and his shows blend music and stories from a wide range of people and places in a compellingly personal style.
Elijah’s music and stories are deeply informed by his second career as a chronicler of American and world music. Along with the Van Ronk memoir, he has written books on Josh White and Robert Johnson, an exploration of Jelly Roll Morton and the censorship of early blues, an alternative history of popular music provocatively titled How the Beatles Destroyed Rock ‘n’ Roll, and Dylan Goes Electric! the basis of the film A Complete Unknown with Timothee Chalamet as Dylan (who picks up that “damned” electric guitar at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival and the music world was never the same!!!), Monica Barbaro as Baez and Edward Norton as Pete Seeger. The film received 8 Oscar nominations.

Marc Broussard w/Sway Wild @ Delmar Hall
2026-05-05 20:00 | Delmar Hall, 6133 Delmar Blvd., Saint Louis, MO, 63112, United States
Acclaimed singer, songwriter, and musician Marc Broussard is a unique performer who embodies the essence of American soul and has forged his own distinct musical style.

In February 2026, Broussard released a new studio album, S.O.S. V Songs of the ’50s, via his Artist Tone Records. The eleven-song set features intoxicating renditions of soul, blues, rock, and pop classics from the Fifties, two gems from the early Sixties, and a Broussard original. This vibrant collection offers a sublime showcase for Broussard’s dynamic vocal prowess, revealing his craftsmanship and passion for an impressive range of enduring American music. S.O.S. V Songs of the ’50s is Broussard’s latest entry in his philanthropic album series benefiting the nonprofit organization, Love of People, based in Broussard’s hometown of Lafayette, LA.

Sway Wild’s infectious sound explores the corners of rock, pop, funk, worldbeat, and folk, but at its nucleus it is undeniably a music full of joy. It can squeeze the heart in your chest, it can draw tears from your eyes, and it can force you to get up and move your body; over and over, it somehow manages to do all three at once. Mandy Fer also tours as the lead guitarist for Amos Lee and Allison Russell and has recently performed with Brandi Carlile.

Mike Zito @ Old Rockhouse
2026-05-08 20:00 | Old Rock House, 1200 S 7th St, St Louis, Missouri, 63104, United States
From his childhood in St. Louis to the global blues-rock circuit, Mike Zito has always kept it real. He began playing guitar at age five and by his late teens was a fixture on the St. Louis music scene. For Zito, honesty, authenticity, and integrity aren’t just part of the brand, they’re the foundation. “I have nothing to hide; it seems my honesty is what people relate to most,” he once told Vintage Guitar.
Zito is a powerhouse in modern blues rock. He’s an artist whose gritty guitar work, deeply human songwriting, and magnetic stage presence have made him a defining force in the genre. From smoke-filled bars in East St. Louis to major festival stages around the world, Mike has built a career on emotional honesty, fearless playing, and an unshakable commitment to the song.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd @ The Factory
2026-05-09 20:00 | The Factory, 17105 North Outer 40 Road, Chesterfield, Missouri, 63005
For the last quarter-century, riding shotgun with Kenny Wayne Shepherd has been the greatest road-trip in rock ‘n’ roll. Gone is the young Louisiana gunslinger who erupted onto the early-’90s scene with his burn-it-down guitar solos and gut-punch songcraft. The man he’s become is even more magnetic, still pushing his Fender Strat where others fear to fret, while diving deep into human truths and personal evolution with an honesty that only comes with miles on the clock. If that quarter-century journey has taught Shepherd anything, it’s that there’s no such thing as mission accomplished. A restless creativity has driven Shepherd ever since he taught himself to play guitar at the age of 7. A musician in constant motion, Shepherd has spent his career burning up the highways and crossing continents, bringing his unique style of rock/blues to the world.
In an industry that’s changed drastically over the years, Shepherd’s versatility and drive has served him well. He plans to keep making music and to keep touring, “I don’t have any intention of sitting idly. We’re a live band, and when people listen to our records, I want them to hear what we sound like when we play live. I just want to keep moving and keep creating and keep doing what I love – for as long as I possibly can…”
Band Members:
Chris Layton – Drums, Kenny Wayne Shepherd – Guitar & Vocals, Noah Hunt – Vocals, Joe Krown – Keyboards & B-3

The Greyboy Allstars @ Delmar Hall
2026-05-09 20:00 | Delmar Hall, 6133 Delmar Blvd., Saint Louis, MO, 63112, United States
Born in San Diego as the “Allstars” of DJ Greyboy’s underground label, the five musicians offered living, breathing interpretations of his rare groove, crate-digging discoveries. Flash forward thirty years later and GBA have grown into legitimate “Allstars” in modern music. Away from GBA, guitarist Elgin Park aka Michael Andrews is a notable composer of scores for film and television, ranging from Donnie Darko to Freaks & Geeks to his most recent work on the upcoming animated documentary Piece by Piece that tells the life story of singer and producer Pharrell Williams through LEGO pieces. Robert Walter, the group’s keyboardist, has been jumping between tours with Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters, and Phish’s Mike Gordon, among others, while leading his own 20th Congress. Saxophonist Karl Denson divides time between his touring juggernaut Tiny Universe, as well as the jazz-based KD3 trio, while handling saxophone duties on tour with no less than The Rolling Stones. And then there’s the liquid cool of GBA’s rhythm section: bassist Chris Stillwell and drummer Aaron Redfield, a formidable, first call rhythm section on pop and hip-hop sessions, including credits on recordings by Sia, Elton John, CeeLo, and Charli XCX.
As they continue to tour and record, The Greyboy Allstars remain one of the most exciting live bands on the planet—schooled in tradition but never bound by it. Their music nods to legends like Ahmad Jamal, Wayne Shorter, Thelonious Monk, and Eddie Harris, while sounding utterly timeless and unmistakably their own. In a time when jazz is colliding with hip-hop, Afrobeat, psych, and beat culture, The Greyboy Allstars are not just relevant—they’re foundational. They’ve been laying bricks in this house since day one, and their influence only grows deeper.

The Garcia Project w/Shakedown Strings @ Old Rockhouse
2026-05-09 20:00 | Old Rock House, 1200 S 7th St, St Louis, Missouri, 63104, United States
The Garcia Project performs full, unaltered classic Jerry Garcia Band setlists from 1976–1995 — song for song, set for set — using era-correct arrangements, tempos, instrumentation, and gear to recreate the authentic sound that defined those legendary shows.
Since 2010, The Garcia Project is more than a tribute, the band delivers the emotional and communal experience that made the classic Jerry Garcia Band so beloved. A recent Grateful Web feature described their performances as “a night of healing, heart, and pure Jerry magic,” noting that The Garcia Project opens “a little doorway back to the Jerry Garcia Band years,” with the same warmth, looseness, and deep musical breath that defined the original concerts.
Their authenticity has earned praise from the musicians who lived it:
“…they almost make me feel like I’m back in, say, 1992 at the Warfield.”
— Dennis McNally, former publicist for the Jerry Garcia Band and The Grateful Dead

Shakedown Strings, a Kansas City, MO based trio, consisting of Adam Galblum on vocals and violin, Clayton DeLong on vocals and acoustic guitar, and Rick Willoughby on vocals and upright bass, bring their energy, passion, and joy to the stage. Drawing upon their improvisational prowess, and experience as jazz musicians, they celebrate the music of the Grateful Dead and explore the band’s vast repertoire of songs and musical ideas.

Oteil & Friends featuring Steve Kimock, Jason Crosby, Johnny Kimock, Tom Guarna, & Lamar Williams, Jr.
Atomic Block Party – this is a rain or shine event.
Two-time Grammy winning bassist Oteil Burbridge has been touring and recording for over three decades. He was a founding member of the early 90s southern jazz-fusion group Col. Bruce Hampton & the Aquarium Rescue Unit with Jimmy Herring, Jeff Sipe and others that had a lasting and influential impact on artists for decades to follow. That led him to join the iconic southern rock group The Allman Brothers Band as their final bass player during their latter-day lineup in the 1990s and into the 2000s. During his tenure with The Brothers, he earned two Grammy nominations for best rock instrumental in 2003 and in 2004. In 2012, Oteil received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award for his 15-year contribution to The Allman Brothers Band as the longest running bassist in the band’s history. In 2015 Grateful Dead members Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart joined forces with John Mayer to form “Dead & Company” with Burbridge on bass and Jeff Chimenti on keys.
“Oteil & Friends”, which features a rotating cast of all-star musicians (including Melvin Seals, John Kadlecik, Tom Guarana, Jeff Chimenti, John Kimock, Jennifer Hartswick, Jason Crosby, Natalie Cressman, Lamar Williams Jr., and more) began touring in 2017. In September of 2023, Oteil released “Lovely View of Heaven”, an emotional tribute to the musical legacy of Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter while carving a unique path of his own. In May 2024, Oteil released “Love and War” recorded live at the 2024 Dead Ahead Festival in Cancun, Mexico. This new single, co-written with Lamar Williams Jr., features Melvin Seals, Duane Betts, Jason Crosby, Tom Guarna, Steve Kimock, Jennifer Hartswick, Natalie Cressman and Ryan Zoidis.
This will be one show you don’t want to miss!
