Gates: 6:30PM / Doors: 7:30PM / Show: 8:00PMNRBQ has often been called a national treasure. The band’s music has attracted legions of devoted fans worldwide, including Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, Penn & Teller, R.E.M., Sponge Bob Sqarepants, Steve Earle, Nick Lowe and many others. NRBQ songs have inspired cover versions by Bonnie Raitt, Los Lobos, Darlene Love, Dave Edmunds, She & Him, Widespread Panic, Yo La Tengo, and more.
The group served as the unofficial "house band" for The Simpsons for Seasons 10-12. In their 50+ year career, NRBQ has released almost as many albums, including a series of critically acclaimed titles in the past decade, among them Keep This Love Goin’ (2011), Brass Tacks (2014), and the 5-disc, 50-year retrospective, High Noon (2016). Of the most recent studio album Dragnet, released at the end of 2021, Bill Bentley in Americana Highways says, “They play with such startling and powerful simplicity, a style that must be earned and not learned,” while Uncut says, “it’s as though the history of 20th-century popular and unpopular music has gone through thorough, playful distillation"
