Here's a list of some of the biggest names on the bill for a 'must see' show that you certainly don't want to miss:

Coming off from their performance with Lifehouse at the 2018 QuickChek Festival of Ballooning; this eclectic neo-90's pop / rock group will be performing at Debonair Music Hall for the second time since debuting their current lineup earlier last year. Managed by bassist and Madison's own Mike Hall, along with guitarist Noah Giglio and sax player John Hall, Running Late has established themselves over the years as one of the premier original rock band's to see throughout the tri-state area. With the addition of power house vocalist Lauren D'Imperio and drummer Ori Yekutiel, Running Late is primed for an exciting year which will include performances across NJ, NY, and PA. Their latest single "Rodeo", which was released a few months ago, was also recently highlighted by Reverbnation's A&R curation team as one of the best indie pop/rock songs in the country, which you can listen to here.

To delineate this band's sound to a single genre of music would be a grave disservice to how multifaceted they truly are. If you've ever been eager to find a group that successfully incorporates elements of blues, rock, funk, and nu-metal, all fused together with alternative overtones, then Forget The Whale is exactly what you've been looking for. Based out of Jersey City; this dynamic project consists of lead vocalist / bassist Alishia Taiping, bassist / keys Dan Pieraccini, guitarist / harmonica Peter Durning, and Madison's own drummer AJ Zienowicz. This will be their first show of year, and will undoubtedly be performing hits from their 2018 EP "Take to the Skies!"that helped them achieve significant international success, all of which you can listen to here.

It's no small feat for a bunch of musicians with deep prog rock roots to find success creatively after transitioning into the world of pop music. However; Dream Eternal Bliss has tied together both new wave melodies and modern rock progressions, all with a flair of euro-pop, to create a unique sound which is both familiar yet nothing like you've ever heard before. Hailing from Franklin Lakes; this innovative pop / rock group is comprised of lead vocalist Faith Banca, Keys Scott Kahn, guitarist David Davodowich, and Drummer Byron Barbieri. Dream Eternal Bliss is already off to an exciting start to the new year, after releasing their critically acclaimed music video of their hit song "Loud", which you can watch here. They will also be performing songs (including a special track) off of their 2018 album "Picture Glass", which you can download today via iTunes here.
