Jeremy Vogt - Rock/Pop/Americana
With thousands of CD and digital download sales as well as a quickly-growing loyal fanbase, the Jeremy Vogt (vote) Band is a force. The band has seen great opportunities opening Plaza Stage concerts at Verizon Wireless Music Center for Coldplay, Dave Matthews Band, Goo Goo Dolls, John Mayer, Sheryl Crow, Three Doors Down, Eric Clapton and others. Add to that impressive list the fact that they played the pregame show for the Colts/Patriots game in 2009.  It is clear there is good karma in this sound, and there is a path for this youthful-sounding quartet and their indie-americana-rock from the circle city. Their song, Say It, was given honorable mention in the Billboard World Song Contest and their song, Make It Easy, recently reached #41 on the AC/HOT 100 Singles Chart for New Music Weekly.They have released two solid and memorable full-length albums, but yet the band comes to life outside of the studio. This is where the Jeremy Vogt Band shines, winning over countless fans with their interactive, high-energy performances. Check out their music!

Blue Luster - Metal/Rock
Blue Luster is the perfect blend of high-energy rock and fist pounding metal.  Based out of Indianapolis, Indiana, the band has a sound that captures the ferocity of Iron Maiden, the catchiness of KISS, the riffage of Van Halen, and the melody of Led Zeppelin. On top of this, they have a sound all their own that acts as a breath of fresh air in the seemingly stagnant current rock scene.  Blue Luster's largely guitarcentric sound is credited solely to the lethal combination of lead singer/rhythm guitarist John David Brake and lead guitarist Patrick O’Connor. The combination of John David’s hard-pounding riffs interwoven with Patrick’s intricate melodies and licks makes for songs that are driving, sexy, and extremely likeable.  Carrying the rhythm on their shoulders are Eric Nolting on bass guitar and James Yarnelle on drums.

Past Due - Blues/Classic Rock
Past Due is a Classic Rock & Blues Cover Band formed eighteen months ago. They may be a new band, but not new to making music. They all had previous lives in bands, some, many years ago. They are a product of the 60's, 70's & 80's and that is where their hearts and heads are. One member is quoted as saying, “What we do today is something we all wanted to do for years, hence the name ‘Past Due’.”

Izzy A'more - Neo/Soul/Reggae
Led by Izzy A'more, a smooth crooning vocalist by way of Michigan that both sexes adore lyrically and for voice/style, Justin "in your pocket" Lahr and Steve Darbro AKA "Leon Jones" have joined to form "Izzy A'more," which is prone to be one of the best cutting edge bands based out of Indianapolis, bringing  music to areas of the globe that need a sound such as theirs. This group has the 3 man front of a small musical army which will consume you and take you back to the days of Funk, Jazz, R&b, SOUL and anything melodic you can imagine. They've graced the stage of Indy's golden gem 'The Jazz Kitchen' featured by Root Movements and Old Soul Edutainment's Sir Doug, a local business man/promoter.  It was a goal to play the Jazz Kitchen once formed but it happened sooner than what was expected and the crowd/audience support matched the excitement completing their experience. Chi Blackburn a local influence encouraged a performance that allowed I.A. to showcase at The Indianapolis Arts Garden, where it like the Jazz Kitchen hails a strong prominence locally. Izzy A'more is growing to be the subtle but impactfully humble band that will help lead the cause for local bands and artists in adopting the support of music lovers in town and abroad. The Indy scene is growing more and more compelling I.A. to attract in retrospect to the obvious. Stay tuned and catch them if you can...
