Tophouse with The Wildwoods

Please join us for Tophouse with special guests The Wildwoods on Sunday, April 13th in the Pub Station Ballroom.

TOPHOUSE:
A lot of people ask us what genre we are. The truth is, we don’t know. Check out some of our music and let us know what you think. In reality, if you really want to get to know about TopHouse, y’all should shoot us a message and say hi, come to a show, or listen to some music! Why not all three?

“Fast-paced, high-energy foot stompers. Ballads that’ll make you cry. It’s kind of like a rock band married old-fashioned bluegrass and had a little baby. And named it TopHouse.”

THE WILDWOODS:
In the heart of Lincoln, Nebraska, The Wildwoods, a folk/Americana trio led by Noah and Chloe Gose, alongside bassist Andrew Vaggalis, deliver a musical journey through the soul of American roots. With accolades ranging from international songwriting competitions to standing ovations at festivals like Summerfest and FreshGrass, their latest release, “Foxfield Saint John” (2023), solidifies them as a force in the folk scene.

Cooper Alan: To The Bar Tour

A rising star with the spirit of a true entertainer, a penchant for outside-the-box thinking and a growing, self-built audience, Cooper Alan is an artist willing to take country music where others have never dreamed – and fans love him for it. Whether it’s a deeply personal, step-by-step romantic saga, or an off-the-wall party anthem, Alan’s music is already some of country’s most fearless work, and he’s just getting started. A native of Winston-Salem, NC, the independent artist has racked up more than 225 million streams, a massive digital presence with more than 14 million followers across all social media platforms, and a touring footprint that sold over 110,000 tickets to date. It all stems from an ability to meet fans where they are – a creative renegade freely mixing musical styles, with boundless energy, sharp writing and often, a sense of humor. But don’t be mistaken, there’s nothing gimmicky about it. After releasing Take Forever, a 5 song EP telling the real-life story behind his wedding in the Fall of 2023, Alan hit the ground running in 2024 with a full Spring headline tour, hitting markets across the United States and making his festival debut in Australia. In the Fall of 2024, Alan will be making his way back to Australia for his first Australian headline tour. Recently named as a 2024 Pandora Ten Artist To Watch and named to the Sirius XM and Pandora 2024 Future Five List, Alan launched single “Take Forever” climbing to number one on Sirius XM The Highway’s Hot 30 Weekend Countdown. With his latest singles “Jesus Saves” and “Suit and Tie (Sixteen Tons)”, Alan takes his first step into the next batch of music to come.

Laura Jane Grace & The Mississippi Medicals

Please join us for Laura Jane Grace & The Mississippi Medicals with special guests Alex Lahey and Noun on Sunday, April 27th in The Pub Station Taproom.

Laura Jane Grace is a major figure in today’s rock scene as both a solo artist and the front person of Against Me!, which she founded in Naples, FL in the late 1990s. As a working artist, she has released six solo offerings and seven albums with Against Me!, and in 2012 went public with her gender transition in the pages of Rolling Stone. In her music, she continues to detail her journey all while staying true to her earlier themes of outspoken political critique – environmentalism along with personal and social liberation – with a base in American music including country and folk-rock, with a penchant for noise and anarchy. Laura Jane will be joined by her band “The Mississippi Medicals” featuring Matt Patton of Drive-By Truckers (bass), Mikey Erg of The Ergs (drums) and Paris Campbell Grace (vocals, percussion).

Hell’s Belles

HELL’S BELLES are first and foremost dedicated AC/DC fanatics. This is what we all have in common. We’re all part of a huge community of devotees to one of the greatest rock-n-roll bands in the world. This is who we all are, and this is what HELL’S BELLES strives to deliver with mechanical precision and passionate fury. Endorsed by Angus Young himself (Blender Magazine, 2003), HELL’S BELLES are the closest one can get without actually moving to Australia and joining AC/DC’s road crew.

HELL’S BELLES are indeed ALL female, all the way to their rock-n-roll cores, all the time and without exception. Representing for a whole new generation of women that won’t be intimidated, HELL’S BELLES actively encourage our legions of lady fans to stand up and be counted, and collaborate with women musicians and causes as a part of the mission towards rock and roll inclusion. Not some down-your-throat feminism, but a proactive support and action spirit towards the continued march towards balancing of the gender scales.

The thousands of shows HELL’S BELLES have played around the world, including Jordan, Singapore, Japan, Canada, and the good ol’ USA (including Alaska), have become legendary nights of epic proportions. Consistently sexy and sold-out shows – there’s not a HELL’S BELLES audience that hasn’t been blown away by the raw power, attention to AC/DC details, and undeniable appeal that these bad ass belles deliver with undying devotion. From the Angus stripping “Bad Boy Boogie” to “Dirty Deeds” to “TNT”, not to mention AC/DC’s landmark hits “Highway to Hell”, “Thunderstruck”, and “Back in Black”. The marathon set lists change to include a fresh variety of classics, but the perfection and passion of the show never dies.

It’s an all out rock-n-roll assault that leaves you both satisfied and begging for more. And, more you’ll get as HELL’S BELLES keep conquering new cities, new states, and new countries. They’ll be in your back yard bringing AC/DC in sound and spirit to you with their recording VOL. II, so you can always count on taking a little piece of HELL’S BELLES home with ya.

HELL’S BELLES – committed, ferocious, meticulous women rock musicians delivering authentic AC/DC to the unbelievably supportive and wicked awesome fans. All day and all night long, all over the world, pitch perfect AC/ DC delivered with a highly charged vigor.

Let there be rock!

The Waiting: Celebrating the Music of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers

Please join us for The Waiting, A tribute to Tom Petty & The Heart Breakers on Friday, December 20th at The Pub Station Taproom.

The Waiting is one of America’s most electrifying roadhouse rock-androll bands. And, as the name might suggest, their specialty is celebrating the music of Tom Petty, including songs from the Heartbreakers repertoire, Petty’s solo work, and songs from the supergroup The Traveling Wilburys.

Since 2013, the band has thrilled diehard Petty fans and new converts alike throughout the American West. Whether they’re playing one of Tom Petty’s 38 songs to hit Billboard’s Rock Chart, a treasured deep cut, or a song from his work under the moniker, “Charlie T. Wilbury, Jr.” As one reviewer put it, “The Waiting plays the music that everybody knows and everybody loves with a fiery energy that electrifies crowds with their outstanding musicianship and a single-minded devotion to showing every person in the crowd a damn good time.”

Love Your Locals: Kirks Grocery Edition

Join us for LOVE YOUR LOCALS: KIRKS GROCERY EDITION featuring HELIX.EXT, MARAUD, and BRONTOPS in the Pub Station Taproom on Friday, December 13th.

HELIX.EXT
HELIX.EXT core members, Jon Lodge (trumpet/electronics) & Shane de Leon (drums/guitar) improvise alongside bassist and new collaborator, Monte Allen. The inventive improvised pieces of free-noise funk skip by, fluttering in & out, repetitive grooves with distorto-trumpet feedback and rhythmic drone bop. Zone / freak out to this mix of free improvisation, & kicked out jams.

Monte Allen started legendary Portland, OR group Rollerball/RLLRBLL in 1993 with Mae Starr and Gilles. The original trio is still going strong. De Leon served a decade in Rollerball but departed in 2007 to begin Miss Massive Snowflake. This recording is Monte and Shane’s first time playing together in 15 years.

Jon Lodge attended Berklee College of Music & has fostered free jazz, musique concrete, minimalism, & experimental music for decades in Billings, Montana. His visual art is in museums & galleries throughout the US. A whirlwind of ideas, energy, & love of life.

MARAUD

Maraud is a Post industrial project started in 2019. Maraud seeks through their recordings and live performances to present sounds, texts, and information which unflinchingly confronts the topics of mistreatment of Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island. The cultural and spiritual war against settler colonialist fascism, the myth of white supremacy, and the inner turmoil of Indigenous Peoples’ continued struggle for survival on their homelands are realities that Maraud tackles in their work. Drawing upon their Northern Arapaho heritage and their experiences living as an Indigenous person in the so called “land of the free”, Maraud creates a sound influenced by those experiences as well as drawing upon many sects of post industrial media.

Love Your Locals is an ongoing series at Pub Station that showcases and supports local talent, as well as provides music industry education opportunities throughout the year. LOVE YOUR LOCALS is Sponsored by Michelob Ultra.
