HANNAN, DieveNoire

Today July 17, 20268:00pm $10 advance / $15 door

In a recent review of HANNAN's "Deliver Me" Single, Arts and Entertainment magazine "Leo Weekly" summed up HANNAN by saying "Listening to "Deliver Me" by Louisville's HANNAN makes you realize how bad we, as a record-buying public, screwed up by letting the music industry, as we knew it, die off; because this is multi-platinum album selling, sold out arena, major festival headlining, worldwide stardom-level material right here! HANNAN is one of those rare bands that click on every level. The musicianship, the songwriting, everything here is just flat out astounding. This is the perfect mix of hard rock, modern rock, and alt-rock, all wrapped up in one big groove-oriented, riff-driven package. This song could be released by a major label as is, no tweaks necessary."

It was this musical balancing act of musical integrity and catchy, melodic hooks along with a highly charged stage show that caught not only a growing legion of fans but also the attention of Chet Roberts, guitarist from 3 Doors Down. After seeing HANNAN live in the winter of 2018, Chet Roberts approached HANNAN and offered to produce them. This partnership resulted in 2019's "Charm Offensive" EP and 2024's "Last Disguise" album.

To date, HANNAN has released singles for "Drive", "No Reason Why", "Drama Queen", "Make up your Mind" and "Long Way Down" with the latter spending 4 months in the top 20 of the Global Digital Rock Radio Charts. The recognition and popularity continues to grow as they have now amassed over a million streams across all platforms from their latest effort.

HANNAN continues to headline regional venues as well as being a much sought after direct support act for national and regional touring acts. In 2024, HANNAN continued their meteoric rise and made their triumphant debut at Inkcarceration Festival in Mansfield, OH.

I'm genuinely trying to forge relationships and have meaningful interactions with all the fans I meet on the road."

Franklin Jonas & The Byzantines

Saturday September 26, 20268:00pm $25.00

Franklin Jonas is an artist and songwriter from New Jersey, carving his own path with a sound rooted in storytelling, reflection, and renewal. After releasing his debut EP Sewer Rat in his early twenties, Franklin took a step back from releasing music to discover his voice, his influences, and his sense of self.

That exploration gave rise to his new project, Franklin Jonas & The Byzantines -- inspired by the idea that life can be rebuilt after collapse, just as the Roman Empire lived on in Byzantium for a thousand years after its supposed fall. For Franklin, the project represents survival, reinvention, and belief in what comes next.

His new singles Village Liquors, Road Soda and Break The Levee are the first glimpses into this new chapter. Village Liquors, written with Chris Gelbuda, balances nostalgia and introspection. It's a genuine reflection on the trials of growing up, the memories that haunt and heal, and the hope that always returns at the start of something new.

Road Soda, written with Tim Bruns and Aidan Harbeson, is about the struggle of trying to understand your feelings of wanting to self-destruct in the face of all of your dreams coming true.

Break the Levee, written with Chord Overstreet and Zeph Park, is a song about communication. It's about welcoming the flood of emotions pent up inside, knowing that the foundations of love are strong enough to withstand the storm. The joyous, contemporary bluegrass composition manages to encapsulate the peace found in trust. The Franklin Jonas & the Byzantines' style of blending traditional instrumentation with modern synthesizer twists makes for a lively sound unique to itself.

With influences spanning Gillian Welch, Dave Rawlings, Dan Reeder, and Ruston Kelly, Franklin's music blends intimate lyricism with timeless Americana storytelling. His songs capture the grit of what's been lived and the glow of what's still to come.

In 2023, they embarked on their first major tour, playing some of Canada's biggest venues and festivals and opening for iconic acts like Foreigner, Loverboy, Ann Wilson, Tom Cochrane, and Lee Aaron.

Anthony Gomes

Saturday December 5, 20268:00pm $35 advance / $40 door

With a guitar slung over his shoulder and the amps turned up full tilt, Anthony Gomes electrifies blues and rock at a 21st century crossroads of his own. The Canadian vocalist, guitarist, songwriter and producer wails with all the force of a hurricane in the Mississippi Delta and enough fret-burning fireworks to leave his strings in flames. Over the years, he's toppled the Billboard Blues Chart at #1, earned the endorsement of legends such as B.B. King, tallied tens of millions of streams, and packed shows on multiple continents. In April 2025, Anthony Gomes is back with his much- anticipated 14th studio album, Praise the Loud, set for release on Rat Pak Records.

"I've learned how to embrace my voice as a guitarist and as a singer," he states. "I understand who I am, and I use my strengths to my advantage. I have a blues soul and a rock 'n' roll heart. I love to jump back and forth between both with a modern day approach. When I play rock, it's got a little more dust on it."

Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, he fell in love with music as a kid, listening to everyone from Muddy Waters and Jimi Hendrix to Jeff Beck and Eddie Van Halen. At 14 years old, Anthony gravitated to the guitar and his relationship with the instrument was born. After grinding it out, his chops caught the attention of B.B. King's bus driver at a jam night. Blown away, the driver introduced him to B.B. who invited him to open up a string of tour dates in 2005. Gaining invaluable knowledge from "The King," he went on to share the stage with the likes of Buddy Guy, Robert Plant, Joe Bonamassa, Heart, Sammy Hagar, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and more. Along the way, his concert attendees have included Academy® Award winner Morgan Freeman, John Goodman, and Vince Vaughn as well as Eric Clapton, to name a few.

2022's High Voltage Blues vaulted to #1 on the iTunes Top Blues Albums Chart, #1 on Amazon Music's New Release Blues Chart and debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues chart. It remained on the Billboard Blues chart for 58 consecutive weeks, landing on 'Billboard's Top 15 Blues Albums of the Year' for both 2023 and 2024.

Meanwhile, Total Guitar listed Gomes as 'One of the 100 Greatest Blues Guitarists of All Time' in 2024. Guitar World readers voted him one of "The 30 Best Blues Guitarists in the World Today" in 2019, and the publication noted, "Gomes is another power player who is at his best when his gear is in the scorched earth between blues and rock."

Anthony's latest release, 2025's Praise the Loud, delivers 12 fresh studio tracks that showcase Anthony's musical evolution while staying true to the no-holds-barred sound that has earned him a global fanbase.

Reflecting on the new album, Anthony shares, "On Praise the Loud, we pushed our musical boundaries in every direction. We wanted it to rock harder than anything we've done before, but at the same time, we wanted it to have a deeper, more soulful blues feel. When people ask me what I sound like, I say, 'If B.B. King was in AC/DC, that's what it would be'. That's Praise The Loud in a nutshell."

Gomes cites the track 'Rock & Roll Bluesman' as the thesis of the album. "My favorite line on the album comes from the song 'Rock & Roll Bluesman': 'I don't care if they love or hate us, gonna turn it up so they won't forget us.' That lyric captures the spirit of the album-- declaring that we're playing blues rock on our own terms, no matter what."

From the powerful rhythms of the album opener "Praise the Loud" to the ZZ Top-inspired groove of "Netflix & Chill," Anthony tackles a range of emotions and topics with his signature blend of layered harmonies, infectious rhythms, and blues-infused grooves. Tracks like "Meet My Maker," "Black Diamond Heavy," and "Electric Blues Crusade" highlight his ability to stretch his creative boundaries and expand his lyrical scope, while songs like "Love Song Gone Wrong" and "In the Name of the Blues" showcase his unmistakable blues guitar mastery. Produced by Peter Carson/Anthony Gomes and mixed by Chris Collier, Praise the Loud packs the punch and energy fans have come to expect from this world- class blues artist.

In the end, Anthony Gomes is just the kind of guitar hero we need for today.

"I still believe in a world of guitar heroes," he smiles. "I strive for a world where you don't have to be 19 years old to sell a lot of records and tickets and to make a statement. I'm one of those people who doesn't think rock, or the blues is dead. I'm looking for fresh ways to bring them together. I'm at the table rolling the dice all in the name of blues and rock 'n' roll. I know there's never been a more exciting time for music, and I'm here for the journey."
