Too White Crew
Too White Crew

Heads up 309! The annual TWC riverfront show is always a special night for Peoria. Too White Crew has been packing the riverfront for over a decade and they're the only band that covers all the classic hip hop hits from the 80's, 90's and early 00's.

TWC unites all ages, all cultures and people who don't even necessarily like hip hop, but enjoy the TWC show. If you haven't seen them, you're in for a treat! The show is completely live, without the use of tracks or prerecorded music, they have choreographed "fly girls" and you'll know all the music!

You'll see other familiar faces on stage as well... Peoria's own DJ McFly (coming out of retirement for this night), Don "Big D" Black and the Dopestylez Crew will all be on hand to start the party. Check out the pictures from last year! goo.gl/86gKom


DOORS: 7:30PM
TWC SHOW TIMES: 9-11:30
COVER CHARGE/TICKETS: $8

Also, to reeeally get a feel fo’ the flava, follow "@toowhitecrew" on Instagram, Twitter & Snapchat and remember to hashtag #toowhitecrew and #peoriariverfront in your posts!

Get down with Midwest jam-rockers Electric Orange Peel at Kenny's!

Kenny's Westside Pub presents:
Electric Orange Peel
Friday, July 27th, 2018 at Kenny's Westside Pub
Show: 10:00PM
21+

Stick around for drinks after the show! Bar's open till 4:00AM!

About the band:

Sworn enemies of musical sameness, Electric Orange Peel has been hell bent on getting outside of the box since their inception in April 2013. The four-piece has been quickly making a name for themselves across the Midwest, consistently appearing on major festival lineups like Summer Camp, Resonance, and The Werk Out.

The band has been astounding audiences show-after-show with their intricate compositions and out-of-this-world improvisation. Drummer Dylan Aughe lays down wildly complex grooves for bassist Nate Labine to texture with masterful jazz licks. Marko Manastyrskyj brings massive energy with his insane chops on the keys, and Austin Crumrine ties it all together with jaw-dropping guitar solos and mind-blowing improvisational technique.

Fresh out of the studio recording their debut album, "Seed", EOP is on a serious tear right now and is showing no signs of slowing.

About the artist:

Lee Walsh, better known as El Dub Music, is an internationally touring one-man ͞loop͟ band, who is known for bending genres of Reggae, Funk, Hip Hop, Electronic and Jam, built with a backbone of extraordinary beat-boxing skills, along with well-crafted upbeat rhythms. This original combination continues to provide him unique opportunities to be welcomed in a multitude of music festival styles and variety artist collaborations. El Dub is a soulful artist, who mixes melodic harmonies andintricate looping mixes, with all instruments live and in real time. From beat boxing, guitar, bass, keys, and synth sounds such as horns, piano, flutes etc. to sound like full band with just one man; an extraordinary performance to say the least. El Dub’s impressive looping skills, have landed him main-stage performances at notable festivals and venues, including SXSW, Vans Warped Tour, Suwannee Hulaween, Unify Fest and Shangri-lato name a few, as well as earned him the opportunity to perform alongside the likes of 311, Matisyahu, Dirty Heads, Slightly Stoopid , Rebelutionand many more. In 2012, Lee ͞El Dub͟ made an advantageous decision to sell his possessions and move with his wife and children into the RV and tour the country performing for fans. He is a family man, who home schools his oldest with his wife Angie, who all manages to handle his bookings. Together, they have toured to thirty-eight states for four consecutive years. Currently El Dub is touring in support of the release of his third full-length CD, Feelin’ Alive, which is packed deep and conscious lyrical expression; a driving force for this young family man. El Dub evokes positive change wherever he goes, leaving his audiences revived, with a new zest for life and a rebirth of purpose and enlightenment.
