Tonight’s Headlining Band
Cracker
For over 25 years, Cracker has carved out a sound all their own — a rebellious blend of alt-rock, Americana, roots, and jam that defies easy categorization. Formed by David Lowery (also known for his work with Camper Van Beethoven) and Johnny Hickman, the band built its name on radio-dominating hits like “Low,” “Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now),” “Euro-Trash Girl,” and “Get Off This.” Their sound is equal parts razor-sharp lyricism, gritty guitar work, and groove-laden improvisation, making them a staple of the 1990s alternative wave and beyond.
With ten studio albums, multiple gold records, and thousands of performances under their belt, Cracker continues to evolve — bringing their sharp songwriting and jam-forward energy to every stage they play. From festival fields to intimate clubs, they’ve survived shifting musical tides with authenticity and edge, earning loyal fans across generations. Their live shows are legendary, filled with storytelling, experimentation, and the kind of rock ‘n’ roll soul you can’t fake.
Tonight’s Emerging Artist
The Love Darts
Emerging from the heart of Montana’s music scene, The Love Darts bring a fuzz-soaked blend of garage rock, indie pop, and offbeat energy. Their sound is raw, fun, and refreshingly real — echoing everything from classic rock to surfy punk and vintage pop. Known for vibrant performances and catchy originals, they’re quickly establishing themselves as a must-watch act. Whether they’re rocking a dive bar or a summer stage, The Love Darts deliver songs with bite and a whole lot of heart.
