Event Information
Frankie And The Witch Fingers with population II LIVE at Grog ShopSaturday, October 4Doors 7:30 PM | Show 8:30 PMAll Ages$20 advance / $25 day of show+$3 at the door if under 21 Los Angeles psych-punk shapeshifters Frankie and the Witch Fingers have spent the last decade mutating their sound into bold, electrifying new forms. Their latest release, Trash Classic (via Greenway Records and The Reverberation Appreciation Society), plunges into a sewer-slick fusion of proto-punk venom, fractured new wave, and industrial grime. Brimming with wiry synths, angular melodies, and grooves that squirm and bite, its all delivered with a sly, playful wink. Fueled by relentless global touring and a fierce DIY ethos, the band has shared stages with OFF!, Ty Segall, Oh Sees, Cheap Trick, and ZZ Top, cementing their place as one of the most unforgettable live acts around. Frankie and the Witch Fingers continue to morph, dragging listeners into whatever warped direction their experimental journey takes next.

One of 13 children, Sammy was born in Lorain, Ohio, to parents who were not musicians. Introduced to the timbales by an older brother, he joined the drum corps at Admiral King High School and began playing professionally at age 13. After high school, he joined Cobra, a Latin rock band, before joining Orquesta Charambo and later, Impacto Nuevo. For the past decade, he has fronted his own band, Sammy DeLeon y Su Orquesta, opening for acts including El Gran Combo, Tito Rojas and Tony Vega.

While at Oberlin, she also studied jazz arranging, composition, and theory with Wendell Logan, who became a mentor to her, and encouraged her to study jazz piano with Neal Creque and jazz improvisation with Kenny Davis. Jackie received a M.M. from Cleveland State University in classical piano performance, studying with Andrius Kuprevicius and Daniel Barber, but continued her lessons with Creque, and has been based in Cleveland ever since.Jackie performs regularly as a soloist, but has her own jazz trio, which includes bassist Peter Dominguez and drummer Ron Godale. She also arranges and plays salsa and Latin jazz with percussionist Sammy Deleon y Su Orquesta.

Formed in Florence, Alabama and now based in Nashville, the band began in 2016 as five childhood friends making music in a bedroom. Nearly a decade later, theyve grown into one of the most loyal followings in modern indie rock with over 350 million streams, an RIAA Platinum-certified record, and a fully sold-out national headline tour in 2024.Their breakout track I Think I Like When It Rains became a viral anthem, reaching #1 on TikToks U.S. chart in 2023 and remaining in the Viral 50 from 20222025. WILLIS made their name where it matters most the stage. Night after night, fans show up in Locals Only tees, singing every word like theyve been there since day one. What started as a quiet DIY movement has become a full-on live experience.Across their beloved Locals EP series (Locals, Locals 2, Locals 3, Locals 4) and 2024s debut album I Cant Thank You Enough, WILLIS has developed a sound thats warm, rhythmic, and emotionally direct nostalgic but never stuck in the past. Its indie rock that leaves a mark. The band continues to evolve while keeping the same heartbeat thats been there since the beginning: real connection, real fans, and music built to outlast trends.

Destroyer: Dan’s Boogie Tour
Event Information
Monday, October 6NEW VENUE!Destroyer: Dans Boogie Tour with Jennifer Castle at Grog ShopDoors 7 PM | Show 8 PMAll Ages$25 advance / $30 day of showWhat is a boogie? In the common tongue, its a dance or an occasion to dance, a song or a shindig, an incitement to move, quickly, whether its on the floor or out of town, getting down or lying low. This being a Destroyer album and not the common tongue, the implications of a title like Dans Boogie are at once more alluring and dangerous. A boogie is a hustle, a scam that doesnt quite work, the moves we make when were up against it, explains Dan Bejar. I think of spy work, double agents, sleeping with one eye open, an eye on the exits. But I also think of petty street-level victories and losses and improv.
