TOWER, CAN YOU FEEL IT, DON’T LEAVE ME LONELY, ROCK N ROLLERS, AINT GONNA EAT OUT MY HEART ANYMORE, and many, many others.

Dressed in white and employing a dazzling mix of glam rock, hard rock, and progressive rock, Angel’s over-the-top stage shows, made them one of the more colorful arena rock bands of the mid-’70s and early ’80s. Discovered by Kiss bass player Gene Simmons, the group issued their eponymous debut album in 1975, which hewed closer to prog rock than the glam pop that would inform future endeavors like On Earth as It Is in Heaven (1977) White Hot (1978) which had a top 40 hit with ” I Ain’t Gonna Eat out My Heart Anymore” and Sinful (1979).

Hunter Peebles and the Moonlighters @ Contrarian Concert Hall
2026-03-28 20:00 | Contrarian Concert Hall, 125 East Main St, Festus, MO, 63028, United States
Although he originally began as a solo artist in 2012, Peebles formed his band by happenstance after realizing his set benefited from having accompanying musicians. He’d attended high school with lead guitarist Jakob Baxter, occasionally playing in side bands together before forming the Moonlighters in 2020. Steel guitarist Matt Maher and bassist Britton Wood also joined early on. Drummer Isaac Johnston was the final piece of Peebles’ musical puzzle. With each member still playing in other local bands, the name the Moonlighters seemed like an appropriate moniker.
Blending the raw storytelling tradition of John Prine with the timeless sounds of George Jones, Hunter Peebles & The Moonlighters bring a fresh yet classic energy to the Country/Americana scene. Fronted by Hunter Peebles, whose powerful vocals and poignant lyrics explore the highs and lows of the human experience, the band features a signature mix of crying steel guitar, rich instrumentation, and heartfelt melodies.
Based in St. Louis, MO, Hunter Peebles & The Moonlighters have quickly made their mark, sharing the stage with notable acts such as Ben Haggard, Sunny Sweeney, Vincent Neil Emerson, and Willie Watson. With a sound that honors the past while embracing the future, Hunter Peebles & The Moonlighters are poised to make their mark on the country music landscape.

Tab Benoit @ The Sovereign
2026-04-03 20:00 | The Sovereign, 3300 Washington Ave, St Louis, MO, 63103, United States
* Soul of the Swamp Tour *
Born on November 17, 1967, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Benoit grew up in the nearby oil and fishing town of Houma, where he still resides today. Musically, he was exposed early on to traditional Cajun waltzes and the country music broadcast on his hometown’s only radio station. Benoit’s father was himself a musician; as such, the family home was filled with various instruments. He began playing drums but switched to guitar because the only gigs to be had in rural Louisiana were held in churches and at church fairs, and organizers would not allow loud drums to be played at these events.
One of the most impressive guitarists to emerge from the rich Bayous of Southern Louisiana in recent years, Tab Benoit’s guitar tone can be recognized before his Otis-Redding-ish voice resonates from the speakers. He doesn’t rely on any effects and his set up is simple. It consists of a guitar, cord, and Category 5 Amplifier. The effects that you hear come from his fingers. In 1992, Benoit released his first recording Nice and Warm on the Justice Label. The title track became a AAA Radio hit and Benoit’s touring career kicked into high gear. Nice and Warm prompted comparisons to blues guitar heavyweights like Albert King, Albert Collins and even Jimi Hendrix.
In 2004, Benoit founded the Voice of the Wetlands non-profit organization and began to use music and gather other musicians to use their platforms for getting the message out. He put together an all-star band that featured Cyril Neville, Anders Osborne, George Porter Jr, Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, Johnny Vidacovich, Johnny Sansone, and Waylon Thibodeaux that became The Voice of the Wetlands All-Stars. The Voice of the Wetlands All-Stars have released two CDs and occasionally tour throughout the country.

From the note-for-note performances to the stage look and technical detail, they recreate the true Rush concert experience and leave every audience feeling as though they just witnessed a real Rush show.
Billy Audrain – bass guitars, vocals, keyboards, bass pedals.
Playing guitar and singing since the age of 12, Billy has been performing live with different St. Louis bands since the age of 18 along with writing and recording. Through the years finding himself learning to play keyboards and bass guitar. Joining Thunderhead in January of 2010, Billy now finds himself using all of his talents in one band along with using his feet to play the bass pedals. Just as Geddy Lee would do. “The challenge of trying to emulate Geddy Lee is by far the greatest and coolest challenges I have ever faced as a musician and I am honored to take on this challenge with two very talented men who share the same vision. Each song is a whole new “Everest” to conquer”.​
​Billy plays the Geddy Lee Fender Jazz Signature Bass along with the many other tools that Geddy uses and works hard at trying to reproduce every note, vocally and instrumentally, just as you would hear on the studio records.
Matt Meyer – guitars.
Matt was born and raised in DeSoto, MO, a suburban area south of St. Louis. He has played guitar from the time he was big enough to hold it and began formal lessons at age 10. Around this same time, Matt was turned onto Rush by his older cousin, Rich. “The first Rush song I heard was ‘Fly By Night’.
From his late teens to present, Matt has played in a variety of original bands releasing several records and touring globally. He joined Thunderhead in 2013 and, as he explains, the appeal to join was both personal and professional. “I’d been in an original band with Billy for about five or six years when we were in our late teens and early 20s. Making music with him was a real thrill and we’ve remained good friends throughout the years. When I checked out his first Thunderhead show I was completely blown away. I’d never seen a band perform Rush songs and present the whole show with such accuracy. If I squinted my eyes just slightly, I really did feel like I was at a Rush show. Honestly, I’ve never been interested in playing for a cover band before and I don’t even follow the tribute band scene. But being in a band with Billy again and paying tribute to Rush, a band that’s meant so much to me? Count me in!”
John Pessoni – drums.
John is well known for being the drummer for The Urge, El Monstero, Celebration Day, Hard Promises, Joe Dirt along with singing and playing guitar in The John Hughes Experience.

Jake's Leg @ Old Rockhouse
2026-04-04 20:00 | Old Rock House, 1200 S 7th St, St Louis, Missouri, 63104, United States
The long, strange trip continues with another night of Jake’s Leg! Celebrating 50 years!!
Deadheads in St. Louis know Jake’s Leg. The band has been providing music for the scene for 50 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.
Started as a duo by guitarists and vocalists Randy Furrer and Tim Fahy in 1976, lead guitarist Dave Casper soon joined the fold. Players were added and the music grew; friends came and went. Some of them had 10-year-or-longer stints with Jake’s Leg, which is a long career for most non-touring rock bands. Bassist Joe Trunko came on board in 1990, followed in 1991 by keyboardist Bill Noltkamper, completing the core four that have been playing and singing together for over 34 years. Ryan Wilhite, after a short stint as percussionist, took over the drum kit in 2005. Most recently, well-seasoned St. Louis musician Bill Murphy has come on to augment the keyboard position. The sum of this is one of the longest-lasting bands in the country that plays a whole lot of your favorite songs, and you’ll find them playing in and around St. Louis.
If you’re a fan of the songs of The Grateful Dead, do yourself a favor and see Jake’s Leg. Your friends are there and the music never stops.

2026-04-09 20:00 | Atomic, 4140 Manchester Ave, St. Louis, MO, 62110, United States
Sicard Hollow – Nashville’s psychedelic punk-grass rockers, Sicard Hollow, grew up sick of any existing institution telling them who and what to be.

Since Webb’s Grammy sweep in 1968 when his own “Up, Up and Away” and “By the Time I Get to Phoenix” vied for Song of the Year (“Up” won) to the use of his “Do What You Gotta Do” in Kanye West’s “Famous,” the man often praised as “America’s Songwriter” remains a respected icon in popular music – and continues to challenge his artistic boundaries with projects like a classical nocturne. His most famous songs are touchstones for a generation yet remain timeless – “MacArthur Park,” “Wichita Lineman,” “Worst That Could Happen.”
During his live shows Webb brings fans of his music a unique connection to their favorite songs, revealing the stories behind his hits as far back as his first songwriting job at Motown through a career trajectory that took a teenaged preacher’s son from a farm town in Oklahoma to the top of his longed-for profession in just a few short years, with pitfalls and blessings in equal measure between. His books, Tunesmith: The Art of Songwriting and recent memoir The Cake and the Rain demonstrate his incredible talent with words and music.
