Tibbits Opera House cranks up the volume for a one-of-a-kind concert event celebrating the raw energy and homegrown talent of two incredible area bands—Pomegranate Whiskey and Gardyloo Blues Review!

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see some of our region’s finest musicians—friends, neighbors, and local professionals—let loose and light up the stage in a way you’ve never seen before.

Kicking off the night is Gardyloo Blues Review, a powerhouse ensemble featuring George Babcoke (guitar, keyboard, vocals), Gary Babcoke (guitar, harp), Joe Holicki (drums), Jim Forrister (guitar, vocals), Mark Galliers (vocals) and Randy Weiss (bass, vocals). With gritty blues roots and plenty of soul, they’ll set the tone for a night of unforgettable music.

Then, the spotlight shifts to Pomegranate Whiskey, a fan-favorite band known across the tri-state bar and event scene. But this time, catch them like never before—on the historic Tibbits stage in full concert glory. Made up of Coldwater natives and family ties—Clayton Macklem (drums), Owen Macklem (guitar), Nathan Proffit (bass), and Jeff Bradley (vocals)—this tight-knit group has been rocking together for nearly a decade. Their eclectic mix of rock & roll, spanning generations and genres, guarantees something for everyone.

Celebrate community, creativity, and Coldwater’s own as we showcase the music that lives right here at home.

Come cheer on these hometown heroes and experience a night of music that’s as authentic as it is electric!
