Phar Fletcher will be at the Bluegill on July 3rd!

Cover: $5 at the door. 

Show starts at 7 pm!

If one must categorize Phar Fletcher's sound, modern rock/alternative would nail it down, but categorizing them would oversimplify the wide range of influences drawn from to create the sound that is Phar Fletcher. Since its inception, Phar Fletcher has garnished awards, won battles of bands, opened for some of the hottest national acts, and had songs riding the airwaves. In 2005-06, the band opened shows for national acts such as Seether, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Cowboy Mouth, Afroman, and Collective Soul.  Don't miss your chance to see them in action.

The Tip Tops to bring their groove to the Bluegill on July 5th!
The Tip Tops are a dance and show band that has it all.  Based out of Mobile, Alabama, The Tip Tops combine sounds from 60's artists like The 4 Tops, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, throw in a little 50's Elvis and Sam Cooke, with a little 80's Kool and the Gang and The Commodores for 3 decades of musical excellence.  Add sensual and glittering "The Topettes", and a fast-stepping brass section, "The Dancing Horns", and you have a high-energy combination that is the total package and a guaranteed crowd pleasure. Don't miss the show - come see the Tip Tops at the Bluegill on July 5th!

El Cantador will be playing the Bluegill on July 11th!
El Cantador began in the mind and work of Mexican artist Jose Guadalupe Posada. Nearly a century and some months later Heath Underwood discovered an exhibit of Posada's broadside illustrations in the Art Institute of Chicago. Posada's macabre prints and eerie exaggerated skeletal style gripped the young man with fear and reverance. He had been musing, over an IBM selectric typewriter during the previous few years, and dreamt of starting a musical project that would, not only create it's own musical style by referring to the past, but search within that space between the absurdities of both life and death and the "big" questions in between. (One might think of the Atari game Pong for illustration). Heath had one particular drummer/musical savant in mind who is often referred to as S.P by those in his intimate circle. With S.P, Heath, and Johnny Gwin forming the base group, friends and near-by musical comrades have pledged their time to enriching a music that is human in every sense of the word. But words are tricky, and like El Cantador, one can never expect to be welcomed without the feeling that one had to destroy something else to realize.

Don't miss El Cantador at the Bluegill on July 11th!
