The Cold Stares

The Cold Stares bring their modern blues-rock to Shank Hall for a night of fuzzed-out guitars and classic rock riffs. Hailing from Evansville, Indiana, this power trio melds Delta blues with Cream-style improvisation.

The band, originally a duo formed in 2012, expanded to a trio in 2022 with bassist Bryce Klueh. Their upcoming album "Texas" pays homage to the state that influenced icons like ZZ Top and the Vaughan brothers.

Praised by publications like Classic Rock Magazine and American Songwriter, The Cold Stares have topped Amazon's Blues Rock chart and placed albums on Billboard's Blues top ten. Fans can expect a high-energy set blending gritty songwriting with virtuosic musicianship.
