They have brought their energetic live show to venues across the Midwest and beyond, playing in 22 US states and Canada.
Stop.drop.rewind will be supported by Day By Day, a NWI based cover band playing all the 90s/2000s Pop-Punk and Emo from “When We Were Young”! And Caught On Cline, the Chicago area’s premier R&B and soul fusion band.

Welcome to the PAV
Nestled on the shore of Wolf Lake, and located just 20 minutes from Chicago's Loop, The Pavilion at Wolf Lake Memorial Park has quickly become Northwest Indiana's premier outdoor venue for concerts, movies, and festivals.
Owned and operated by the Hammond Port Authority, "The PAV" and its tower design were inspired by the 1895 Frank Lloyd Wright amusement resort concept for Wolf Lake.
With a 2,600 square foot main stage and 86,000 square feet of concrete and grass for seating, the PAV plays host to all kinds of concerts and activities including annual events like the Festival of the Lakes, the WHAM! Bike Ride, and the 4th of July Naturalization Ceremony.
