It’s too bad the weather couldn’t match the heat coming from Stan’s Room at Piere’s Entertainment Center in Fort Wayne, IN on December 19th, 2025. Although it was winter, it might as well have been July.  The “Christmas in July December” show that was originally set for July, happened this night instead.  Cyanide Sayonara, Tearing Down the Masquerade, and Controller packed up the heat of summer and brought it on stage and ignited the place, with no apologies to the winter season. 

Singer-songwriter, Dan Hubbard, from Bloomington, Illinois (folk-rock, southern-rock, pop, americana) released his 10th studio project Vol 1: Letting Go on October 24th, 2025.  This album, he says, has been a creative outlet, branching out from his normal sound.  He set out to not care so much about what anyone thinks (aside from his wife, Kaetlyn).  “I didn’t set out to write a concept album about ‘letting go’, but it just became obvious that’s what this EP is about,” Dan shared with me.

The weather wasn’t the only thing giving us the chills on October 26, 2025.  Lera Lynn came through Indianapolis, Indiana on her Ruin Me tour to give us all the goosebumps.  She put on a truly beautiful show at Turntable.  Turntable is an intimate venue in the heart of Broad Ripple Ave in Indianapolis.  The vibes are dark and moody, vintage and chill.  On this night, she had Dan Hubbard, from Bloomington, Illinois to open up the stage for her.
