SUMMARY:Left of the Dial presents: Mitch Polzak Live
DESCRIPTION:The big guy from out West with larger than life energy (he’s also 6’5’\, the great grandson of August Ringling of the Ringling Bros Circus and related to Ma Barker of the infamous Barker Gang)\, guitarist\, singer\, banjoist\, songwriter\, composer\, entertainer\, musical historian and teacher\, Mitch Polzak wears his heart on his sleeve and his playing in his heart. Mitch was inducted into The Western Swing Hall Of Fame in 2024 and has been twice nominated for The Ameripolitan Music Awards. \nPolzak performs Rockabilly\, Honky Tonk\, Surf\, Bluegrass\, Western Swing\, and Cajun music stateside and abroad. Mitch performs with the religious fervor of Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash\, and delivers a Honky Tonk ballad with the sincerity of Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings. Polzak will bring a room to a fevered pitch of joyous energy on the dance floor and then tell you a story in a song like two old friends sitting at a kitchen table at midnight. \nHe has released 8 albums\, 5 on his own label Polzak Productions and 3 on the Spanish based Sleazy Records. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Nigel Wearne Live
DESCRIPTION:Nigel Wearne saunters after dark in the music of the night\, blending blues\, jazz and Americana-noir. Hailing from Gunditjmara country in the deep south of Australia\, he’s a guitarist and multi-instrumentalist with diverse influences such as Nick Cave\, Tom Waits and Rickie Lee Jones. \nNigel has played some of the world’s most prestigious music festivals\, including Hardly Strictly Bluegrass\, MerleFest\, Philadelphia Folk Festival\, Adelaide Guitar Festival (AUS)\, 30A Songwriters Festival\, Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion and the Cambridge Folk Festival (UK). In 2025\, he won the Telluride Blues Challenge at the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival. \nHis sophomore album\, ‘Black Crow’ garnered wide critical acclaim including a 4-STAR review in Rolling Stone\, a nomination for Best Country Album at the Music Victoria Awards and it debuted at #1 on Australia’s AMRAP Charts. His 2023 album\, ‘The Reckoning’ received back-to-back nominations for Best Blues Work at the 2023 & 2024 Music Victoria Awards and a 4-STAR review in The Australian. 2025 marked a return to his roots as a folk songwriter with his latest album ‘The Lone Reckoning’. A raw\, emotive\, stripped back rendition of his 2023 award-nominated album ‘The Reckoning’. \nA deep thinker and truth seeker with a penchant for all things peculiar\, he sings of human frailty\, grace and the cosmos; songwriting that cuts to the bone. “Django Reinhardt with a cowboy twist” – Grateful Web UK. “Tailor made for fans of Tom Waits” – Rhythms Magazine. “Poignant and mysterious” – Maverick Magazine UK. “Vocal swagger of Van Morrison and dark spirituality and intelligence of Nick Cave” 4 STARS – The Australian. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Kyle Rowland Live @ The Melon Ball

Through these pioneers\, Rowland learned specific techniques of stage presence\, the music business\, and several highly revered harmonica secrets\, evident in his performances. \nIn August of 2022\, Rowland signed an endorsement deal with Hohner harmonica company\, which he has proudly used for his 20+ year career. Recently with the help of Hohner\, Rowland has had the opportunity to teach the harmonica to hundreds of children across the United States\, Mexico\, and Cuba.

In both 2024 and 2025\, Rowland placed as a simi-finalist in the International Blues Challenge\, in Memphis Tennessee. In Spring of 2025\, Rowland signed with Little Village Foundation\, a California based record label\, and released his critically acclaimed album NOT HOLDING BACK!\, securing a 2026 Blues Music Award nomination for “Best Emerging Album.” \n$20 General Admission
