Rockturnal Emissions
ROCKTURNAL EMISSIONS, composed of Deborah Rust and Chuck Flaim, has over 60 years of combined musical performing experience. What makes this duo so special is Deb. She had to move back into the southern Indiana area (lives near Evanston) to become care tender for her aging parents (actually, her father has since passed away) several years ago, but, prior to that, she had quite a musical journey. Deb is 53 years old. When she graduated high school, she was one of those people who couldn’t wait to leave the small town scene behind. So, she submitted an audition tape and was selected to be lead singer on a cruise ship that ran from Tampa to Cozumel for 1.5 years. Deb is also a songwriter, and while in Florida, she signed a recording contract with Hurricane Records. One day, while recording at Hurricane Records, she happened to catch the ear of a guitarist with the Marty Balin Band. FYI, Marty Balin is a twotime inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and is a founding member of The Jefferson Airplane, The Jefferson Starship, and The Marty Balin Band. The guitarist invited her to accompany him to California to audition for a position as a backup singer with Marty’s band. The tryout was successful, and, Deb joined The Marty Balin Band. She performed and toured in this capacity until she had to return to care for her family. By a stroke of luck, our paths crossed and we’ve begun performing as much as possible around the area while she’s here. I accompany Deb on acoustic guitar, electric guitar, harmonica, and background vocals. So, long story short, this girl can really bring it and we’re looking for booking opportunities. We started scheduling venues in December 2017 and have gigs currently booked into December 2021. Our style of music crosses several genres, but, we basically play classic rock, blues, Americana, and a bit of country(when requested). We’ve performed for many different types of venues ranging from the Schweitzer Fest in Tell City (headlined it in 2018 and 2019 and would have also in 2020 had it not been cancelled, 2021) to restaurants and bars such as CYO Brewing, TenOSix, The Brew Bridge and Bar Louie in Owensboro, Roca Bar North, The Hornet’s Nest, Duffy’s PubHouse,The Rooftop in Evansville, O’Bryan’s Bar & Grill in West Louisville, On Deck in Henderson, Crickets, Jennings Street Public House in Newburgh, The Old Fox Inn in Lynneville, The Half Moon Saloon in Mount Vernon, and the Galt House in Louisville. We were the opening musical act in 2019 for the premier outdoor music festival in Evansville, Indiana- the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival. We’ve also performed for Live On The Banks and Friday After 5 in Owensboro, Rocky Pointe, Blue Heron Winery, Monkey Hollow Winery, Winzerwald Winery, and the American Legion as examples of types of venues we’ve entertained.

Troy Miller
Singer/songwriter Troy Miller born & raised in Southern Indiana is a powerhouse guitar player and crooner. It’s a sight to watch him perform his yesteryear repertoire as if channeling the favorites of Leon Redbone, the energy of Jerry Lee soothed with the baritone voice of Johnny Cash or dare I say Robert Mitchum. He pays homage to this part of the world he holds so dear in his originals “Warrick County Cowboy”, “Sterling Girl” & co-written w/ Jubilee Fly “Stop Light City.” He is honored, again, to be playing at the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival.
Williams & Crooke
Thursday, October 6 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm Stage 2
The duo of Mike Crooke and Lindsey James Williams grew from a chance meeting in a local music store in 2013. Their shared interests and musical tastes shape a sound ranging from Pink Floyd to Simon and Garfunkel and far beyond. The result combines respectful treatment of familiar classic songs played with the serious fun that comes from two friends that really love to play.
Haywire
Thursday, October 6 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm Stage 2
Haywire is an Evansville based band playing your favorite Country, Classic Rock, Blues, and Original hits. This All Star cast of musicians have traveled the country playing beside the likes of Luke Bryan, Confederate Railroad, as well as, opening for such greats as John Michael Montgomery, Doug Stone, Charlie Daniels, Marshall Tucker and many more. Lead singer Joe Greulich and guitar/vocalist Tim Smith celebrated 25 years as bandmates earlier this year. Jeff Miracle (Whip) on bass/ vocals, and Pat Howard on drums complete the cast.
Josh Merritt
Authenticity can’t be faked. So when an artist hails from the heartland and shares stories drawn from personal experience, the music resonates in ways that genuinely express their passion and purpose. Josh Merritt is one of those artists.
A native of Owensboro, Kentucky, he inherited the grit and honesty so essential to heartland culture. Having spent the better part of the past decade honing his chops on the Southern tour circuit, Merritt slides effortlessly into his own on debut studio release Reynolds Station, a stirring collection of autobiographical songs that recount his tumultuous childhood in the clutches of rural America’s amphetamine epidemic. A countrified concept album, it’s a grim testament to the tragedy that has upended so many lives and led to the loss of both faith and fortitude. Taken from his young mother as she struggled with drug addiction and raised by his grandparents, Merritt experienced the effects of substance abuse at close range.
“I’m not necessarily trying to impart any big lesson here,” Merritt says, “I’m just trying to tell people about what I’ve experienced, to share this album with people who have gone through the same thing so maybe they’ll be able to relate and find a connection to their own experience.”
Jake Gaither
Friday, October 7 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm Stage 2
I’m a singer/songwriter raised in a small town in Indiana called Osgood. I Have been playing and performing music for over 15 years. My main musical influences would be my father who I have a band with currently and 90s to today’s Country. My musical styling ranges from johnny cash to Luke combs and pretty much anything in between. My writing style is about the same. Just a smalltown guy with big City dreams!
Tailgate Revival
Friday, October 7 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm Stage 2
Forming in early fall, 2016, Tailgate Revival has spent the past four years making a name for themselves in the Midwest. Known for their high-energy brand of Country music, while also being able to strip it down for an acoustic set here and there, this quintet puts on one hell of a show. Between their own original work, and their ability to cover just about any Country artist at the drop of a hat, the band has honed their ability to work together seamlessly, bringing what most would call a “big city sound” to Midwest bars, venues, and festivals. Drawing on the influence of Garth Brooks, Blake Shelton, and Joe Diffie, Tailgate Revival has grown from a bar-based cover band, to a full fledged power-house of a country western act… having opened for artists like Travis Tritt, Lo Cash, Randy Houser, Colt Ford, Craig Campbell, Darryl Worley, Michael Ray, Riley Green, & Jordan Davis to name a few. Whether you’re looking for someone to bring the energy to a Friday night venue, an acoustic performance to set the mood, or an opener for one of the many Country acts that roll through The Midwest, Tailgate Revival will bring the party every time.
