Flint Under the Stars: Adaboy! wsg Sweet Willie Tea
Hailing from Mid-Michigan, ADABOY! our headlining act, delivers a powerful blend of rock, country, blues, and original music that is as heartfelt as it is entertaining. Comprised of Joe Balbaugh, Vincent Modern, and Steve Niquist, the trio brings diverse musical backgrounds together to create performances filled with energy, authenticity, and outstanding musicianship.

Since launching a major label career in 1994, Collective Soul has charted a path that most rock bands dream of, but only few achieve. They cut through a noisy 1990s rock scene with a knack for stick-to-you-like-glue melodies, roof-shaking guitars, and a touch of Southern grit. Behind enduring singles like “Shine,” “December” and “The World I Know,” the band hit the ground running for what would not be a short-lived sprint, but a steady marathon of uncompromising – and always catchy – albums.

Rodney Atkins has charted at least one radio single at country radio in three different decades – all while signed to the same record label.
