😎 ARTIST LINEUP
🎤 9:20 PM HEADLINER
The Cinelli Brothers (UK) – 2024’s UK Blues Band of the Year and London’s finest blues export – are bringing their foot-stomping, soul-drenched, big-energy blues to Omaha for the very first time. Think early Rolling Stones – those tight grooves and sizzling guitar work. This is blues with a British twist, an Italian flare and a vintage heart.
🎤 7:50 PM
Harry Manx with special guest, Kevin Breit (Canada) – It’s been 25 years since Harry Manx—seven-time Maple Blues Award winner, six-time Juno nominee, and Canadian Folk Music Award winner—last played Omaha. Known for his spellbinding slide guitar and mastery of the Mohan veena, Manx returns, joined by virtuoso Kevin Breit (That Kevin Breit – collaborator with Norah Jones' “Come Away With Me”) “Jeff Davis shares: looking forward to hearing Harry’s rendition of ‘Tijuana,’ ‘Coat of Mail,’ and ‘Death Have Mercy' live and in person.’
🎤 6:30PM OPENER
Jared William Gottberg (USA) – Omaha's own native brings a solo performance, stripped-down, soul-baring set of songs that sound like midnight confessions and Sunday morning recoveries. Imagine a campfire jam with singer-songwriters swapping stories — raw, real, and reverent.
