Down on Main Concert: Featuring Tigirlily Gold

Sisters Kendra Olson and Krista Slaubaugh have been playing music together since they could walk and officially formed Tigirlily Gold when they were still teens. They spent their high school years growing a fierce fan base in their home-state of North Dakota, and after moving to Nashville, TN, they cut their teeth by playing on the city’s famed lower Broadway. Their debut, full-length album, Blonde, was released in 2024, featuring top 40 radio single “Shoot Tequila,” along with follow-up, top 30 single, “I Tried A Ring On.” Tigirlily Gold has been nominated for two CMT Awards and two People’s Choice Country Awards, and won the 2024 ACM Award for New Duo of the Year, where they performed “I Tried A Ring On” during the show to a national audience. They have been featured in Billboard, American Songwriter, Vulture, and Forbes, performed on NBC’s “TODAY Show,” and have been named to MusicRow’s Next Big Thing and Opry NextStage classes of 2025.

Funky Mojo Daddy

Every roots music fan loves being melted by the vibe and energy of a smokin’ hot band. When the heat of the music matches that mood, magic is made.

The members of MojoDaddy are all top-shelf musicians who have achieved considerable success with their respective groups. Throughout their careers, these guys have taken the message of Chicago blues and traveled the world to spread it with artists such as Buddy Guy, Carl Weathersby, the Kinsey Report and the Steepwater Band. The group consists of Kenny Kinsey (bass/vocals), Nick Byrd (guitar/vocals), Jerry Porter (drums/vocals), Jeff Massey (Slide guitar/vocals) and Corey Dennison (guitar/vocals).

Joining forces for this project to take that message further, they’ve built a high-energy blues, funk/soul, roots-rock supergroup who thread the spirit of the past into this ten-song disc with creative, passionate playing. Employing a trio of accomplished, fire-breathing guitarists (Nick Byrd, Corey Dennison, Jeff Massey), a rock-solid rhythm section (Kenny Kinsey, Jerry Porter), and four distinct-yet-complementary vocalists (Byrd, Dennison, Massey, Kinsey), the band fuses their musical tastes into a must-have disc for any hardcore blues-rocker who has an occasional sensitive moment.

Together, they have quickly gained a reputation for being one of Northwest Indiana/Chicagoland area’s top blues bands and rhythm sections. All of this has led to them appearing on a regular rotation at some of the areas hottest live music venues and annual summer festivals.

These musician’s pride themselves on playing with heart and soul, creating an unstoppable energy. Their intense delivery of the music will have you up and dancing, while never letting you forget where our musical debt is owed.
