Great American Taxi's sound has been compared to a variety of roots oriented bands including New Riders of the Purple Sage, a "Grateful Dead for the new millennium," Wilco, Uncle Tupelo, The Byrds and more.

INTERNATIONAL REGGAE STAR PATO BANTON AND THE NOW GENERATION WITH SPECIAL GUESTS RC DUB OUT OF LINCOLN,NE. SATURDAY JUNE 20th @ THE BAR FLY in OMAHA, Nebraska.
The 8-String Guitar Wizard makes a stop in the "Good Life" in support of recently released album Baboon Strength. You will not want to miss this show!
Since the debut of his self-titled Charlie Hunter Trio in 1993, Charlie Hunter has recorded 17 albums. During that time, Hunter has worked with and recorded with many artists, including Miles Perkins, Scott Amendola, Will Bernard, Skerik, Jay Lane, Dave Ellis, John Ellis, Mimi Fox, Peter Apfelbaum, Stefon Harris, Kurt Elling, Bobby Previte, Greg Osby, Chris Lovejoy, LeonParker, Josh Roseman, John Santos, John Schott, D'angelo, Calder Spanier, Mos Def, Norah Jones, Adam Cruz, and Willard Dyson, to name just a few.
Charlie Hunter's latest album, "Baboon Strength", is his first self-release in a career spanning over 15 years. Critics are hailing it as his most innovative and provocative release to date. Perhaps this is due to the fact that Charlie released and produced this record by himself. We couldn't be more excited for this extremely talented musician's arrival in the "Good Life" to amaze music fans of all ages! This will truly be an amazing night of music. You won't know what hit you after this show... CONFIRMED!

Rad Kadillac Productions and Box Awesome are proud to present "Outside the Box: Spring Session vol. 1," a new community driven event focused on the celebration of music, the season and all things Outside the Box. The event will take place on Friday, May 1st, inside and outside of the Box Awesome in the Historic Haymarket District in Downtown Lincoln, NE.
We have assembled three stages showcasing some of the amazing talent that we have right here in Lincoln and Omaha. Two stages will be inside the Box Awesome at 815 O Street and our Main Stage will literally be Outside the Box underneath the recently completed O Street overpass. Due to the cover of the overpass and the two stages inside, this will be a rain or shine event. Gates for the 18 and over event will open at 5:30 p.m. and the music will start promptly at 6 p.m. There will be continuous music for seven hours as we have staggered the performances so that there will never be a break in the action between the stages.
Come join us for a celebration of music, good people, the season and all things Outside the Box! A truly unique event with over 15 bands for only $10 at the gate. We look forward to seeing you at this inside and outside festival experience.
100% LIVE!
1 Guy, 1 String, 1 Vision of Tomorrow... Today!!!
Like a one-man band plucked from the pages of Dr. Seuss, That 1 Guy delivers earthshaking future funk from the magic pipe to accompany his madcap lyrics about turbo snails, meat storms, and weasel pot pies."
--J.G., Bass Player Magazine

Touring in support of their #1 Billboard World Music Album "What's the Rumpus," Gaelic Storm returns to Omaha with their infectious Celtic grooves, and traveling pub atmosphere, to the Slowdown to get you all warmed up for the best holiday of the year (in my opinion). If you haven't witnessed the full blown Gaelic Storm experience, now's your chance to catch them on their whirlwind tour as they celebrate St. Patty's Day throughout the month of March.
