The lineup for Andy Frasco w/s/g Kitchen Dwellers is complete.✔️

We’ve officially added on Wakefield & Ruch to kick off the night as the opening act!

Doors - 6:00 pm | Music - 7:00 pm

Jack Ruch and Adam Wakefield are staples of the Nashville music scene. They can be seen at their local residencies or on stage as guests with Nashville legends such as Guthrie Trapp and Jimmy Hall. With Adam’s touring fanbase and Jack’s dedicated online guitar following, their next project, “For Her Love”, is highly anticipated. Jack’s first solo record features Ruch and Wakefield alongside their musical heroes Dennis Chambers and Gary Grainger, and also one of Blue Note’s newest signs, Baltimore trumpet phenom, Brandon Woody. With momentum from this release in May/June, the pair will be touring this summer in support.

Last week Andy Frasco released a new single, "The Older I Get" and we are so stoked to share it with you!

Join Andy Frasco & The U.N. and Kitchen Dwellers w/ support from Wakefield & Ruch on Aug 22nd, 2026 right here at The Yard Amphitheater.

More about Andy Frasco & The U.N.:

With curly tufts of a recognizable ‘fro peeking out from his omnipresent knit cap, Andy Frasco is a cross between John Belushi’s “Joliet” Jake Blues and Jimmy Buffett. He’s a band-fronting, songwriting party animal who turns into a swirling rock ‘n’ roll Tasmanian Devil onstage leading his U.N., not unlike Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band. From switching instruments mid-song to Frasco stagediving into the crowd or kibitzing with them, an Andy Frasco & The U.N. show is a celebration of inclusivity and tolerance where “You do You” and “let us do us.”

The band has grown from playing bars to touring 250+ days a year all over the country, with Frasco describing that 15-year journey on Growing Pains, the group’s landmark 10th studio album.

Produced by Frasco himself for the first time, the collection’s centerpiece is the anthemic “Try Not to Die,” a glass half-full anthem to seizing the day that combines country twang with an easy island breeze in its affirmative message.

Frasco wrote most of Growing Pains in Nashville with his longtime guitarist Shawn Eckels and frequent songwriting partners Chris Gelbuda, Steve Poltz, and Andrew Cooney, while collaborating with Billy Strings, Daniel Donato, G. Love, Eric Krasno, Kenny Carkeet, ProbCause, and more.

“I came into this life wanting to write songs,” said Frasco. “It took 15 years, but I feel I’m starting to get credit for it. My cup is full. I’m really starting to see my dreams come true.”

Blurring the line between rock band and electronic act, Jimkata is onto an entirely new era on stage. Once again a quartet, the band has been proving that no songs from their extensive catalog are off limits. Described as “a hard hitting dance party with soaring guitar riffs and soul tickling lyrics,” Jimkata takes you on an emotional joyride before tucking you gently in to bed, still humming the words.

With a lifelong friendship at its core, friends since middle school Evan Friedell, Aaron Gorsch and P***y Lunn infuse Jimkata with an adventurous musical streak and relatable lyrical themes. Adding Cooper Casterline into the mix holding down the low end has allowed the band to stretch the music out in a live setting. Mixed in with the modern sensibilities and hard driven indie rock are influences drawn from the likes of Motown, singer-songwriters and even old country songs, where storytelling and a quick turn of phrase share priorities with melody and the beat.

On the heals of their newest studio album effort “Running In Place", released in September 2024, the band has once again exemplified why they’re the best at what they do, continuing to build a vibrant, grassroots fanbase all over the US.
