The 2025 WSIE Music Series - Hard Bop Messengers

The 2025 WSIE Music Series presents Hard Bop Messengers on Saturday, July 26th, 7:00pm at Old Herald Brewery and Distillery's outdoor amphitheater.

***A suggested donation of $10 per entrant to benefit WSIE 88.7 The Sound.***

SHOW: 7:00pm

Hard Bop Messengers frontman John Covelli knew he had something special when he assembled this group and he gives them all room to shine. Nick Savage, Chris Meschede, Luke Sailor, and Ben Shafer are, like himself, of the esteemed Webster University jazz program. Matt Krieg, originally from St Louis, puts the vocals where they need to be to tell Covelli’s lyrical tale.

Covelli has played in dozens of bands over the years and learned just as many styles. His compositions are infused with such influences, including Latin, funk, chamber-classical, soul, blues and rock, and he hopes the result will have the audience tapping toes and bobbing heads along with every tune.
