You will recognize him as the official DJ for Club Vortex since 2018!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Paul\u2019s DJ style is much like his long-standing love of music; varied, informed by many different styles, and constantly looking for the newest sounds. Growing up in the late 70s and early 80s, Paul discovered music at the height of disco and the beginning of the punk and new wave era of the very early 80s. Always a fan of propulsive, beat-driven music, Paul also loved the emerging synthpop wave of bands coming out of the UK and Europe, from experimental to pure pop to industrial funk and dark ambient soundscapes. He also had a great love of early electro and hip-hop music coming from America, and loved seeing the musical styles from all over the world inform each other.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>About The Kunty

A deliberate four-piece band, Almost Queen delivers a live performance showcasing signature four-part harmonies and intricate musical interludes. Donning genuine costumes, Almost Queen recaptures the live energy and precision that is the ultimate Queen experience.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s like seeing the original Queen lineup without having to travel back in time! Joseph Russo acts as iconic frontman Freddie Mercury, Steve Leonard portrays the curly-haired Brian May, John Cappadonna is drummer Roger Taylor, and Randy Gregg personifies bassist John Deacon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Steve Leonard:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Steve Leonard has been playing guitar and writing songs since the time of his first rock concert at Brendan Byrne Arena (Whitesnake). Walking the fine line between John Denver and Frank Zappa, Steve resists judgement and prefers to just let the music flow. Steve has an instinctive propensity to rock, as the guitarist for Queen tribute Almost Queen should. His rock desires are balanced by reflective writing tendencies and an impulsive need to catch a groove.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><u>General Ticket Information:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All seating is reserved for this all-ages event.

He has had the privilege of playing with great performers such as Jonny Lang, Tommy Emmanuel, Anthony Gomes, Larry McCray, Albert Cummings, Walter Trout, and has opened for Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Tommy Castro and the Painkillers, Bernard Allison, Samantha Fish, Marcus King, Wayne Baker Brooks, and Tab Benoit. Jake recorded and released his first EP, \u201cPiece of My Mind\u201d, in the summer of 2017 when he was just 16 years old. Earlier that year he was honored with his first endorsement from Heritage Guitars as a \u201cYoung Artist\u201d, and has since been endorsed by companies such as Lizard Spit, JobeTone pickups, Apex Strings, and Medina Made straps. Jake has also won two \u201cJammie Awards\u201d from western Michigan\u2019s WYCE radio for \u201cListener\u2019s Choice: Best Album by a New Artist\u201d and \u201c2018 Emerging Artist of the Year\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, Jake befriended world-renowned audio engineer Bill Chrysler, and a friendship quickly grew along with the production of Jake\u2019s self-titled debut album, produced by Chrysler himself.<\/p>\n<p>In Bill\u2019s own words, \u201cI have a very high barometer when it comes to contemporary guitar players. I\u2019ve mixed thousands of live shows over the past forty years for guitar heavy artists like John Mayer, Rush, Eric Johnson, Maroon 5 and Ted Nugent to mention a small fraction of my touring career \u2013 I am extremely honored and grateful to Jake for sharing his journey with me so far. I am as proud of this recording as anything I have done in over four decades in the music industry.\u201d Jake is now ready to take on the world with his new music and exciting live shows, and is coming to a city near you!<\/p>\n<p>Jake has played many large shows and festivals in his short time of touring, including his stint at every show since 2017 at WLAV\u2019s \u201cBlues On The Mall\u201d summer concert series, which is typically held at the DeltaPlex Arena. He has also played the Dallas International Guitar Festival, Buddy Guy\u2019s Legends, the WYCE Jammie Awards at The Intersection in Grand Rapids, Buck Lake Ranch, Kalamazoo State Theater, the Lowell Showboat in Lowell, Michigan, and countless blues festivals across the entire state of Michigan. Jake is even an annual mainstay act in events in Michigan that pull large crowds such as the Rogue River Blues Series in Rockford, Battle Creek Field of Flight, and Perrin Brewing\u2019s Backyard Bashes.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Here is the rest of our 2022 State on the Street lineup:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>August 4 &#8211;\u00a0 Fake Baseball<\/li>\n<li>September 15 &#8211;

This combustible formula, passed down through the generations, forms the heart of the revved-up stylings of Delilah DeWylde.<\/p>\n<p>Delilah DeWylde got her start in 2004. Just like rockabilly originators Johnny Cash, Bill Haley and Carl Perkins, this Michigander cut her teeth on steel-guitar driven country in the style popularized by Hank Williams, Ernest Tubb and Webb Pierce. But the draw of the big beat was irresistible, and over time the band\u2019s approach has become sharper and tighter. Not self-consciously retro, Delilah remains committed to hand-crafted American music that stands at the crossroads of creativity and craftsmanship, liberally drawing from honky tonk country, rockabilly and surf music<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Bandleader\u00a0<b>Delilah DeWylde<\/b> (upright bass\/lead vocals) is a veteran of the West Michigan music scene and an alumna of rockabilly institution DangerVille. Her out-sized stage presence is the centerpiece of the show \u2014 one minute singing sweetly, the next slapping her bass into submission.<\/p>\n<p>Next to the sound and fury of Miss Delilah stands cool character\u00a0<b>Lee Harvey<\/b>\u00a0on electric guitar. His serious demeanor on-stage reveals his reverence for the precision and technique of the \u201coriginal\u201d guitar gods\u2014the likes of Paul Burlison, Billy Byrd, Cliff Gallup, Grady Martin, Dick Dale, Luther Perkins, Scotty Moore and Don Rich.<\/p>\n<p>Taking their task seriously, this trio plies its trade the old-fashioned way \u2013 live and in person, logging more than 120 gigs a year throughout the Midwest and beyond. The band also has recorded three LPs (as they used to call \u2019em): 2008\u2019s Honky Tonk Heart, 2010\u2019s The Price You Pay and Win My Love &#8211; recorded in 2012.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Here is the rest of our 2022 State on the Street lineup:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>October 6 &#8211;
