For over a decade, they've built a signature sound that blends traditional roots and bluegrass with art-house storytelling, humor, and the occasional outer-space opera. Their current lineup includes banjoist and puppeteer Matthew Hawkins and bassist Dan Perez, whose Venezuelan musical heritage lends the band a distinctive groove. With six full-length albums — including the celebrated Bluegrastronauts (2018) and Psychobiography due in 2025 — plus appearances on NPR's Mountain Stage, Folk Alliance International showcases, and tours across the US and Europe, the Matchsellers have earned a reputation as one of the most original and sought-after acoustic acts in the Midwest and beyond. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/south-bend/burning-up-the-bend-with-the-matchsellers-at-leighton-auditorium/100001991917266164 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, art, live-music, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: 304 S Main St - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 28.52, max: 28.52, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: South Bend - **state**: IN - **country**: United States - **location**: 304 S Main St - **lat**: 41.6733348 - **long**: -86.251492 - **full address**: 304 S Main St, 304 South Main Street, South Bend, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Burning Up the Bend with The Matchsellers at Leighton Auditorium - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/616077bca033072793b721ddf0a83361adf53c22b5338c05fed7e846a1c76978-rimg-w1200-h1855-dc030202-gmir.jpg?v=1781816634 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Burning Up the Bend with The Matchsellers at Leighton Auditorium being held? - **A:** Burning Up the Bend with The Matchsellers at Leighton Auditorium takes place on Sat, 26 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Sat, 26 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 pm at 304 S Main St, 304 South Main Street, South Bend, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Burning Up the Bend with The Matchsellers at Leighton Auditorium? - **A:** Burning Up the Bend with The Matchsellers at Leighton Auditorium is organized by Wild Rose Moon Performing Arts Center. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
