Festival 56 and the Princeton Theater Group announce the second season of Festival 56 Sound Stage performances will begin on Saturday, September 19, with vintage rock ‘n’ roll and pychedelic rock musician/”acoustasonic troubadour” Bugz Benson. Doors open at 6:30 pm, with the show at 7 pm. Bugz is a multi instrumentalist from Geneseo, IL, who dives deep into the world of vintage rock ‘n’ roll to deliver a spellbinding performance of classic songs. Inspired heavily by the psychedelic rock of the late 1960s and 1970s rock, Bugz lives in the world of timeless classics and retro vibes. Tickets are $15, available at the door or online at festival56.com. A 50/50 fundraiser will be available in the lobby before the show and at intermission, to be announced before the second set.
A 5-show Sound Stage Pass is also available for $60 as a subcription at festival56.com, and can be used in any combination for Sound Stage performances. Upcoming shows in the Festival 56 Sound Stage series are Occam’s Rose (alternative/indie rock) on October 24, John Drake (Detroit rock ‘n’ roll) on November 7, TyJon Charlie (indie folk/rock) on February 13, 2027, and Michael Aponte (acoustic pop/rock) on March 13, 2027.
