Discover new music in the 2025-25 off-season at the Grace Theater in a four-performance series of up-and-coming regional bands/performers that we are calling Festival 56 Sound Stage. Starting in September, singer-songwriter duo BEYOND the STARS combines folk-rock Americana with storytelling; in October, Montana-born country singer and songwriter Jaden Decker brings authentic, storytelling-driven music that blends Americana, outlaw country, and heartland rock, with a sound described as “Rocky Mountain Country”. In November we’ll party to the bright punk-pop sound of UpbyN00n. We don’t know why Josh and Dylan call themselves “the most hated band in Peoria”; their tracks are pretty sweet! Ava Easter, folk/indie singer-songwriter, guitarist, and ukuleleist from Metamora, rounds out the series in January with her soulful and emotional lyrics.
Tickets for each show are just $15. Want even more savings? Check out the Sound Stage Pass under the Subscriptions tab – 4 tickets for $50 (can be used as a Flex-Four in any combination) or click here.
