About this Event
Featuring:
THE ERLY
Niles, Michigan band, The Erly, formed in late 2017 by vocalist/bassist Collin Mattiford and vocalist/drummer Fran Gleason. Trevor McDonald joined soon after on guitar and vocals, turning a last minute “musician wanted” ad into a Craigslist success story. The band released albums Shadows (2018), Reckless (2021), and Culture Fever (2023), building a loyal regional following with songs like “Flame The Main,” “Red Roof Inn,” “Hey Amanda,” and “Jasmine”.
The Erly’s trajectory shifted with the addition of keyboardist Simon Kauffman Hurst and the release of Salem Lights (2024). The album, and its singalong centerpiece “55 On The Other Side,” helped push the band onto the national stage, playing alongside acts such as Sixpence None The Richer, Cracker, and Max.
By mixing structure and spontaneity, The Erly bring a “jam-adjacent” sound to their live performances that differ from night to night. The sound of folk and Americana vocal harmony mixes with jazz, rock, funk, and soul to create a unique experience.
On August 21st, 2026, The Erly presents Midnight River Show, the fifth album in their catalog.

GREAT DAY FOR DUCKS
What started as a joke between the group’s principal songwriters - Sean Charles & Dave James - their freshmen year of high school, stayed that way for more than a decade as the two faded in and out of touch, and of creative projects alike.
Now alive and kicking, it looks like the joke is on them yet again. As roughly a dozen years later, Great Day for Ducks finally takes the form of something real and undeniably genuine. With Cody Smith (Lead Guitar), Drew Wheeler (Bass Guitar), and Nick Fondale (Drums) in the middle of it, the band writes to the spirit of Adult Contemporary’s earliest crooners - fused with the nostalgic appeal of 21st century acts like Jack's Mannequin and Dawes.
