Friends of Bob
www.friends-of-bob.org
Founded by a group of friends discussing how to bring quality live music to Lafayette over a couple of beers, Friends of Bob has evolved into a premiere promoting organization. Now in their 12th year of bringing high-quality national and international artists into Lafayette, FoB is well-known among the artists as being a very desirable gig.

Another group of talented locals who also have diverse ties to LBC: Jason Gick provides his expertise and equipment to supply the house sound system with help from Adam "Cass" Libbers. Guitarist Pat McClimans, along with Jason and Adam, has also helped steer some quality acts to perform here at LBC.
Michael Kelsey
www.michaelkelsey.com
What can we say about the guy who was part of the first band to ever play at LBC back in 1993? Singer/songwriter/performing artist/guitar god/all-around great guy still doesn't quite describe Mike. Winner of Guitar Center's 2004 Guitarmaggedon contest, Mike is truly a local guy who has made it. And still humble enough to bring his progressive-aggressive acoustic guitar experience to LBC a couple times a year!
Moonshine Mason and the Rot Gut Gang

This local group preserves the roots of classic country & honky tonk music- and they have a damn good time doin' it!

Lafayette's most musical, and currently, most famous family. The Millers are known across the country for their blues-inspired rock-n-roll. LD and Cole made it all the way to finish runners-up in NBC's "America's Got Talent" tv show.
ekoostik hookah

These guys hardly need a plug from us, but we're happy to provide one anyway. Not only are they one of the most prolific jam bands on tour today, but this Columbus, OH-based band regularly blows the doors off our venue by bringing in massive crowds and fantastic live shows.
Buckwheat Zydeco

Buck joins us every year around Mardi Gras to bring his fabulous brand of zydeco. What can we say- We Love Buck!
Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band
www.myspace.com/revpeytonsbigdamnband
A new favorite here at LBC, this Indianapolis-based band will knock your socks off. They play a rollickin' brand of acoustic delta blues that demands you get up off your butt!
