...who rushed onto the stage and burst into a cover of Limp Bizkit’s “Break Stuff.” The crowd went absolutely wild for the song...
Three Days Grace @ The Egyptian Room in Indianapolis — Despite a number of obstacles, including nearly every entrance into the venue being blocked off for a bicycle race, eager fans made their way to the Old National Centre to see longtime Canadian rock band Three Days Grace… As the doors to the venue opened and tickets were checked, the Egyptian Room at the Old National Centre began to fill up for another night of music and entertainment.

3 Doors Down & Daughtry @ The Lawn at White River State Park in Indianapolis — We kicked off August with weather that had finally eased up for the night of the concert. It was a vast difference from the previous days and nights of 100+ degree temps.

Heart @ Klipsch Music Center in Noblesville — The weather was a bit dreary as excited concertgoers headed to their upgraded seats at Klipsch Music Center.

O.A.R. @ The Lawn at White River State Park in Indianapolis — The entire set was reminiscent of the 311 and Pepper show that graced White River’s lawn in the summer of 2011.

Peter Frampton & Robert Cray @ The Lawn at White River State Park in Indianapolis — Frampton played favorites, such as “Baby, I Love Your Way” and “(I’ll Give You) Money, the latter of which was highlighted by a brilliant guitar solo by his young-gun second guitar player Adam Lester. Peter Frampton got all the credit until this moment we saw what his second-in-command was packing.
