Kim Massie Leads the Final Wave of ShowcaseSTL Announcements

June 4, 2019 By Joe Hess

One hundred bands, eleven stages, one weekend. Jack Daniel’s presents ShowcaseSTL, an event where local legends, longtime favorites and fresh faces all converge in the Grove for a marathon of live music. This year, it takes place on Saturday, June 22 with a kick-off party on the first night of summer Friday, June 21. 

Not only did we poll the public on the music scene’s unsung heroes, we took submissions from the artists themselves and then formed a committee of industry workers from throughout the music community. The result is a music festival with the spirit of discovery – an exploration of St. Louis music. 

Throughout April we rolled out four waves of artists including Tonina, the Lion’s Daughter, the Midwest Avengers and so many more. 

Today we’re happy to announce the final additions to ShowcaseSTL 2019, St. Louis’ biggest all-local music festival. And they include some big names:

ShowcaseSTL Announces First 20 Bands

April 8, 2019 By Joe Hess

100 bands, 10 stages, one weekend. ShowcaseSTL is an event where local legends, longtime favorites and fresh faces all converge in the Grove for a marathon of live music on Saturday, June 22 with a kick-off party on Friday night, June 21.

Not only did we poll the public on this city’s unsung heroes, we took submissions from the artists themselves and even formed a committee to build the best festival yet.

So for the next month we’re rolling out the full lineup in waves, all complete with links to listen and explore each performing artist. Without further ado, here is your first look at ShowcaseSTL 2019.


Tonina

Soul, Folk, Neo/Soul, Latin

To say that Tonina is on an upward trajectory would be selling the young singer short. From making one of Barack Obama’s favorite songs of 2018 to being named one of last year’s best new artists by NPR, no one in St. Louis is turning heads like Tonina. Catch her on the main outdoor stage at Atomic Cowboy on Saturday, June 22.

T-Dubb-O

Hip-Hop

Outspoken rapper T-Dubb-O has been covered by Hip Hop Weekly, Ebony, XXL and Rolling Stone, as well as appearing on MSNBC, TeleSUR English, BET and BET France. He’s performed at AC3 and SXSW, and his activism led him to speak at the Drug Policy Reform Conference and even have multiple meetings with Barack Obama during his presidency. In recent months T-Dubb-O has even added tastemaking radio personality Sway as a fan, making appearances on his radio show to spit bars. He’ll be one of the dozens of acts performing at ShowcaseSTL in June.

The Lion’s Daughter

Metal, Black Metal

Fresh off a European tour with Season of Mist labelmates Misery Index, the Lion’s Daughter will bring its heady mix of blackened progressive metal to the Grove this year. The band has long been one of the best St. Louis has to offer — metal or otherwise — and with the release of last year’s stunning LP Future Cult, the rest of the world is finally catching on too.
