Rado w/ The Midland Band - $12

"The genre mashing conglomerate of styles has something for everyone. Whether it’s a high-speed four-to-the-floor psychedelic jam, or a low bpm groovy, funk section, RADO keeps the bodies moving.”- Compose Yourself Magazine
The Midland Band - “The four members of The Midland Band have been playing together since the middle of 2008. With their progressive fusion jazz rock sound, they have created a significant fan base over the years. Their intense, high energy music also creates an atmosphere that is enticing to new listeners. This year, they've been hard at work and just released their debut album, Reflections, earlier this summer.” Bailey Foss - Hear Nebraska.org

Mike Zito Band $20/$25
December 6, 2023 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Mike Zito is one of the most lauded artists in the contemporary blues arena today and rightfully so, but for him, the thing that counts the most is maintaining his honesty, authenticity and integrity. Those are the qualities that have steered Zito’s career since the beginning and continue to define every effort he’s offered since.
“I have nothing to hide; it seems my honesty is what people relate to most,” he once told Vintage Guitar magazine. “Anders (Osborne) told me early on, ‘If you don’t believe what you’re singing, you’ll never be a good singer.’ I try not to write fluff; I try to make every word count.”
Tickets $20 advance | $25 day of show
Available to purchase online at Tickets for Mike Zito | TicketWeb - Zoo Bar in Lincoln, US or you can purchase in person at The Zoo Bar.
