 What's a Nasty Snack, you ask? It's Tom Selleck standing under a waterfall with a saxophone, eating a ham sandwich. It's Scooby Doo gnawing on a pair of rawhide drumsticks. It's that nasty groove brought to you by nine members of a Chicago funk movement that cannot be stopped! Drawing from influences such as Kool and the Gang, Lettuce, Roy Hargrove, Earth Wind and Fire, and Tower of Power, the Snacks have proven to showcase an explosive, horn-driven, pocket-slamming performance at each live show. With a chaotic balance of R&B grooves and freaky horn melodies, the Snacks have developed a sound acclaimed by most as "just nasty!" 

 Downers Groove is a collaboration of friends who use rock music as a base to blend their musical influences into a new sound. Since its formation, DG has become known for spontaneous improvisation, passionate playing, a charismatic stage presence and a party atmosphere. Rooted in rock with a progressive mindset, they fuse together elements of blues, funk, jazz, classical, bluegrass, dance and world-music into a unique sound of their own.

 Arbor creek is a five-piece progressive psychedelic blues rock band from Joliet, IL. They have been made up of the current line-up for three years now, and have released one EP, Listen (2016), and one full-length LP, Arbor Creek (2018). The sound of the band is one that takes many forms and calls upon many different influences. With three years of shows under their belts, the band has acquired a very tight stage presence and ever-evolving live performance.  The influences of the band come from all over the world and all over time. As near to home as Chicago’s Blues to as far abroad as the folk musics of Europe. Often times, the music can be comparable to ‘60s and ‘70s bands like Led Zeppelin, The Allman Brothers or Pink Floyd. Other times, elements of newer groups such as My Morning Jacket, Alabama Shakes, White Denim, Tedeschi Trucks Band, The Marcus King Band and Gov’t Mule all can be heard. Dueling electric guitars, soulful vocals, intricate keyboards and mandolin, tight and driving bass and ferocious drums all help to define Arbor Creek’s unique sound.

 Coyote Riot has its roots set deep in old folk and country/blue grass string sounds of the past and present. The twang of the rockabilly stile guitar sits nicely with the pluc of the bass and the chuck of the tenor banjo, while the harmonica and fiddle harmonize like crickets in heat. A recipe gaurenteed to have you hootin and hollerin with your foot-a-stompin.

 Gaining popularity through raves, pubs, saloons, small festivals, and impromptu dance parties, Astro Boogie has been on the scene for a little over 2 years. However, the two main members, Ben and Berto, have been into the jam and electronica scene since they were kids. From folk-indie, to hippie-hop; from jazz and blues to straight up grime, dubstep, and metal, Astro Boogie does it all. Live performances are described as bassy, hard, funky, and full of boogie.Every scene has an antihero; Astro Boogie isn't quite a band, and isn't quite a DJ or producer set. It's an enigma of blasting bass, meaningful mashups, trance swells, hip hop beats and guitar solos. Every set is different and every song is different. Somewhere between Berto's rhythmic beats and Ben's freeform vocals, clips, synth, and guitar is a flowing beast that screams "Get on your feet!" Boasted to be more full sounding jams than some bands with 5+ members, Astro Boogie assumes the role of the underdog while melting faces across the Midwest.
