Old Rock House announces new shows!

Greg Laswell
w/ Elizabeth Ziman (of Elizabeth & The Catapult)
Monday, June 11th
Doors 7pm • Show 8pm • $15 Flat • All Ages (on-sale today @ 5pm)

Greg Laswell is already a critic's darling, and with the right marketing his second album will give him a proper shove into the mainstream. Through Toledo is an impressive collection of densely lyrical, deeply melodic indie pop that refuses to settle into predictability. Laswell -- on guitar, piano, drums, and production -- is clearly more than just another singer-songwriter.”


Nada Surf
Monday, June 25th
Doors 7pm • Show 8pm • $18 Flat • All Ages

"Did you ever, as a kid, want to crawl into the speakers?" asks Nada Surf singer-guitarist Matthew Caws. "I did — here was OK, but there was much better." And that's pretty much what Nada Surf is all about — Caws, bassist Daniel Lorca, and drummer Ira Elliot are in love with the way rock music can transport you to a new and wonderful place in a beguiling rush of beats, chords, hooks and words. And they do it ten times over on their brilliant sixth album, The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy. The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy continues the notion of music as an alternative reality, and songs as things you can keep by your side for inspiration and support. Which is what makes Nada Surf a truly beloved band.


Roster McCabe & UV Hippo
Thursday, April 26th
Doors 8pm • Show 9pm • $8 Advance • $10 Day of Show • Over 18 Only

Roster McCabe likes to stay one step ahead. Musically, people know they love it, but they can't fully describe it. The bands coined phrase “Funky Reggae Dance Rock” gives a good hint of what you can expect from the 5 piece rock band, but speaks nothing to the depth and sincerity of the music. Professionally, the band is leading the way in the independent music world. Giving away all of their music for free, Roster McCabe has built a large, loyal following eager to share their music and bring friends to the live shows.


Amy Ray
Saturday, May 12th
Doors 7pm • Show 8pm • $15 Flat • All Ages

In the pantheon of body parts romanticized in song, the heart is clearly the favorite, while the lung is as overlooked and misunderstood as a gangly feminist at a beauty pageant. But in Lung of Love, Amy Ray’s sixth solo album in a decade, the punk-folk icon gives the humble apparatus its due. As a beloved Indigo Girl, Ray has long been known for her big muscular heart, as a solo artist though; she has indisputably found her voice.


ORH Concerts Presents:
The Cold Hard Cash Show
