8:00 PM – Blue Ether
Formed in Chicago in 2022, Blue Ether is a five-piece rock outfit that thrives on blending genres. With Robert Tobin’s soaring vocals, James Hedrick’s searing guitar leads, and a powerhouse rhythm section, their sound moves seamlessly between grunge, alt-rock, punk, and even hints of country. Their self-titled debut album captures their refusal to fit neatly into a box, and their live shows are known for bringing an intense, unpredictable energy that keeps the crowd hooked.
