Patty PerShayla is already a rarity as a combination singer and bassist, but has established herself as a stand-out performer by meanwhile perching on one leg or strutting the stage in platform heels. She is heard before she is seen, boasting a big voice for a relatively small vessel, and certainly has a lot to say—challenging gender norms, confronting imposter syndrome, processing trauma—and don’t even think about getting on her bad side.
Patty’s first full-length solo record, SAD GIRL APOCALYPSE: bummer songs and ukulele adventures, is a short detour from the more adventurous, socially charged, electrifying rock she’s known for. SAD GIRL leans more introspective and many of the songs are a periscopic view from her basement bunker (a bedroom which was legally a closet) during the world’s most recent apocalyptic events. In under 30 minutes, listeners may empathetically experience the effects of confusion, betrayal, existential crises, grief, anxiety, substance abuse, childhood trauma, and an unshakeable sense of dread—but there is still space to dance through the tears. SAD GIRL is an experimental record, co-recorded and co-produced by PerShayla and frequent collaborator, Lucas Powell, in their home studio, featuring Patty’s multi-instrumentalism, incredibly versatile voice, devastatingly clever lyrics, and even cover art illustration. Patty promises to hang up her acoustic guitar and return to heavy songs and punk anthems in 2025 when her tears have dried.
Deeply passionate about following the music of her mood, Patty relies on crowdfunding sources like Patreon, Kickstarter, and GoFundMe for regular listener support to continue her band’s independent pursuits as full-time artists. Plans are in motion to continue releasing a record every year, maintaining collaborations with guitarist Lucas Powell and drummer Dave Hempstead, though recently shortening the band’s name, “Patty PerShayla & The Mayhaps” to simply, “Patty PerShayla.”
Patty’s musical endeavors have taken many forms: from basement jam session background singer in her formative years, to cantor and piano accompanist at school Masses in middle school, parody performer at Harry Potter conventions as a teen, alternative folk singer-songwriter and solo artist, multi-instrumentalist and side artist for The Accidentals, front woman for two Rush tribute acts (Catch the Fish and YYNOT), and full-on independent rock ’n’ roll banshee. Very recently, she discovered a new love for co-writing while working on collaborative album Sixthman Sessions Vol. 8 with fellow Rock Boat XXIII artists. Her online catalogue continues to grow from her deep well of cover songs on YouTube and continued participation in She Shreds’ annual #1riffaday challenge on Instagram. Having seen many sides of the music industry and lived several lives as a sound maker and vibe setter, her mission is to keep honing the craft and performing anywhere there’s an open space and silence to be interrupted.
“There’s an unceasing rock ‘n’ roll fire that blazes inside Patty PerShayla, evident in her refreshingly candid songwriting and impassioned, grin-inducing performances with the always on-target Mayhaps. Her music oozes infectious, blue-collar, Michigan-bred grit that’s destined for a universal audience.” – John Sinkevics, Local Spins
emily the band is a three-piece queer girl group based in central Illinois. Although they officially became a band in 2021, the love story between Emily Antonacci, Camryn Proctor, and Abbey Haste began in their teens. After meeting in high school and becoming musical collaborators, the trio realized they were platonic soulmates. Now, they get to spend their early twenties sharing their indie alt-pop anthems with audiences in Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Nashville, and beyond.

The Revenirs are a Chicagoland Alt-Country band reminiscent of Lucero, 16 Horsepower, Centro-matic and the Drive By Truckers.
The Revenirs sound revolves around singer/songwriter Daniel Rey’s tales of “sorrow and solitude” featuring Dennis Kardys on lead guitar and Dean Radzik on drums–both alums of Chicagoland alt-country darlings, “The Dirty Green”– alongside former “The Soup” (Denton TX) bassist, “Dodgy Mary” (Chicago) vocalist and Lone Star Native Willy “Catfish” Hudson on bass.
“Daniel Rey” began as the solo Alt-country, side-project of singer/songwriter Dejan Kralj (day-on kraal), who has spent the last four decades as the bass guitarist and one of the primary songwriters for Milwaukee’s reclusive alternative-rock band, The Gufs. The former Atlantic Recording/EMI Publishing Artist and 2012 Wisconsin Area Music Industry Hall of Fame Inductee is a life-time resident of the Midwest, Rey (the Spanish translation of Kralj) and divides his time between his current home in the Veltway community of Berwyn on Chicago’s near-westside and a small homestead in Southeastern Indiana, which has been the source of his alt-folk/alt-country musings over the last twenty-five years.
Daniel Rey has been performing throughout the Midwest since 2018 and released his debut LP “Living Low” on Milwaukee’s Red Submarine Records in 2020. Daniel Rey & the Revenirs are currently working on Rey’s follow-up and the band’s debut EP “Too Busy Dying” for release later this year.

This band has been living life through music and adventures together for eight years. Relentless gigging in and around their home state of Colorado, and the midwest and Canada has made this band of brothers one of the tightest, most professional ragtag pack of muppets on the scene today.

We offer a “Michigan-centric” event calendar each month, with most live entertainment taking place on Friday and Saturday. We occasionally book a Thursday or Sunday event, given a strong history in our market. Otherwise, our focus is on our established local bands, Michigan-based bands, and other strong Regional/National touring bands.
