DEAR FRIENDS, Welcome back to the Levitt for our biggest and boldest season yet! We are thrilled to invite you back to the Lloyd Lawn for our third concert season featuring 50 FREE CONCERTS. 50 opportunities to experience top-caliber music, great food, dancing, and joy outside alongside your friends and neighbors.

The summer concert season will include 10 different genres — a wide array of professional musicians bringing a diverse and exciting mix of musical styles and an incredible wealth of talent to the Levitt stage. Levitt shows will once again be live-streamed thanks to our partnership with South Dakota Public Broadcasting, and many of our artists will again bring outreach opportunities to those who aren’t able to join us on the lawn. It is truly a great year with 50 wonderful reasons to #LovetheLevitt!

Also ROLLING out this summer as we RAMP up our programming, our team has an extra special treat in store — Innoskate Sioux Falls! This summer, Levitt at the Falls is partnering with USA Skateboarding and the Smithsonian’s Lemelson Center for Innovation and Invention to bring an interactive, unique summer festival to the Levitt. Innoskate is a free, multi-day festival that will celebrate creativity, innovation, and music in skateboarding culture. Join us Thursday, July 7th — Saturday, July 9th for skateboarding lessons, pro skater demos, panel discussions with national skateboarding industry leaders, family-friendly interactive invention activities provided by the Smithsonian, an interactive art alley and, of course, amazing concerts. We are excited to welcome the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra, Dessa, and Meet Me @ The Altar as our headlining bands for the Innoskate festival weekend. We are also thrilled to bring the Innoskate program across the state to Pine Ridge, SD and the amazing skateboarding community there in the days leading up to the Sioux Falls festival.

The Innoskate project has been made possible with the collaboration of national partners, state partners, and our local partners at the Sioux Falls Skatepark Association, Rehfeld’s Art & Framing, Downtown Sioux Falls and our lead sponsor the SDSU Wokini Initiative. It is truly a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and a reflection of the amazing potential of the Levitt to leverage national connections and engage our community locally. We hope you can join us for this and all the fun musical opportunities ahead for the summer of 2022…let’s rock & roll!

- No Depression All his life, Eddie 9V (9-volt) has acted on instinct. Aged just 15, this old-soul artist turned away from the path of college and jobs to burst all guns blazing onto the roots and blues club circuit of his native Atlanta, Georgia. His freewheeling lyrics and fresh musical style feel like a party, retooling the soul-blues genre on his own terms, reminding a new generation why this music hits so hard. Horns blast, drums rattle, slide guitars howl, Eddie’s signature guitar strings, and his unmistakable vocals electrify his live shows. eddie9volt.com

They take pride in being ambassadors of their genre, and PRB has brought their hard work and honesty, and the authenticity and joy of their music from rural bluegrass festival stages to the rock clubs of Europe, and even the GRAMMY red carpet, with stunning results. “I think to a certain extent everyone is just craving music that they can feel,” says CJ Lewandowski, the group’s founder, “and any music that feels real will reach any audience.” theporamblinboys.com

The Floridabased trio writes the kind of anthems that you can scream along to at a festival, head-bang to in a club, or sit with while in your feelings at home. Flipping the script for rock music and its culture, they bring together elements of Warped Tour era punk, 2010s pop, and easy core. On the heels of their EP “Model Citizen,” widespread tastemaker praise followed from The FADER, Rolling Stone, Nylon, and Stereogum.

KUINKA FRIDAY, AUGUST 19 “Seraphic vocals bookended by ukulele, cello, and heavy percussion will leave you feeling giddy and glad to be alive.” - The Stranger

Described by NPR Music as joyous folk pop, Kuinka “laces modern folk and Americana with an electronic jolt, waltzing along the grooved edges of dream-pop, synth-pop, and Brooklyn’s mid-aughts guitar-rock revival” -Vanyaland.

Their genre-defying music features several different lead singers, four-part harmony, and eclectic instrumentation including cello, banjo, ukulele, and synthesizers. For all their sonic experimentation, the Seattle quintet’s songs and live shows are linked by an infectious energy that remains present in everything they do. Their new full-length album Shiny Little Corners is out now. kuinkatheband.com

ROCK & ROLL

SERIES PRESENTED BY:

THE YAWPERS SATURDAY, JULY 2 The Yawpers are the sheep in wolf’s clothing. Their sound is a front-heavy, groovy, fire & brimstone punk-blues overlying a dynamic and metaphysical roots rock. The Bloodshot Records’ band crafts tunes that are enveloped in creative context. They conduct parallel frequencies, combining the ferocious and raw proletarian roots of Uncle Tupelo with the burning-hot thrashings and cavernous sonic space of Hot Snakes, and mix in derisive scrutiny that brings to mind Ween or the Minutemen. If there was justice in this world, the Yawpers would be the savior that rock & roll didn’t know it was waiting for. theyawpers.com

21

22

MAKING MOVIES FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2 Siembra y llegará. As Making Movies delivers its fourth album, XOPA, the Kansas City based band proves true the maxim which, in English, is like an encouraging version of “reap what you sow.” Making Movies’ dynamic sound encompasses the entirety of the Americas: melding classic rock into Latin American rhythms — African-derived percussion and styles like rumba, merengue, mambo and cumbia — in a way that feels oddly familiar, yet delivers the invigorating chills of hearing something singularly special. “The goal is to create music that includes every bit of our individual identities,” vocalist Enrique Chi says.

“Music is our way to find a deeper understanding of our own stories. It’s a healing of sorts.” makingmovies.world

HOT CLUB OF COWTOWN FRIDAY, AUGUST 12 The Western swing/gypsy jazz trio Hot Club of Cowtown has traveled the world bringing their own brand of magical musical chemistry to audiences far and wide.

This original marriage of gypsy jazz is inspired by the music of Django Reinhardt — which accounts for the “Hot Club” portion of their name — with the hoedowns, traditional tunes, and Western swing-inspired music of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, represented in the “Cowtown” of their name. They have toured with Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson and their festival appearances are as diverse as they are numerous, including jazz, bluegrass, and country festivals throughout the UK, Europe, Japan, Australia, and North America. hotclubofcowtown.com

LEMON BUCKET ORKESTRA SATURDAY, AUGUST 20 ®

Lemon Bucket Orkestra is a guerilla-punkBalkan-brass band massive like no other.

Equal parts reckless abandon and exhilarating precision, the LBO’s legendary live shows are a truly immersive experience, ranging from the ecstatic to the cathartic - and all points in between. To quote the Winnipeg Free Press, the LBO experience is “amazing, frenetic, gloriously anarchic and ultimately joyous!” lemonbucket.com ®
