Come enjoy the groovy tunes of Opal Fly and KAPOW! supported by the ShackUps to benefit Middle Way House! ABOUT OPAL FLY AND KAPOW!: If you must classify this band, call it ELECTROACOUSTICRAGAMAFUNKJAZZ. Multi-instrumentalist Opal Fly is a Kentucky-born singer/songwriter whose music is firmly rooted in tradition, yet her style transcends established genres. A fresh and original voice, the two time NWAMA Songwriter of the Year first honed her talent playing on the streets of New Orleans and has traveled the world developing her unique sound and exploring new musical territory along the way. Bassist Mark Buschkill and drummer Donn Middleton have played together in a number of groups over the last decade. As a rhythm section, they bring groove-based, power-trio sensibilities that serve as perfect counterpoint to Opal’s traditional leanings. Joining forces in 2013, Opal Fly and KAPOW! have played shows and gained fans all across the Midwest. The Bloomington-based trio released their second album, “Abundance”, in 2017.

She has shaped a repertoire that eloquently expresses her singular musical personality and interprets her material with intensity and grace that is entirely her own.” – John Sinclair (Poet, DJ, 60’s Radical) Find out more about the ShackUps here!
