Nikki D & The Sisters of Thunder is a family-based ensemble from Toledo, Ohio, blending gospel with blues riffs and grooves in a way that is uniquely their own. The band’s sound is defined by Nikki D’s electrifying steel guitar, which is often described as wildly soulful. In 2016, Guitar World magazine recognized Nikki as “The Jimi Hendrix of Sacred Steel” for her experimental, vocal-like riffs and otherworldly tones. Alongside her guitar prowess, Nikki’s raspy, sultry voice commands attention, harmonizing with the other band members’ voices adding depth and soul to every performance. For fans of: Sister Rosetta Thorpe, Robert Randolf & the Family Band, and Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings.

An evening of emotional and powerful music. Brahms’ Academic Festival Overture begins with celebratory and bold sounds. Schumann’s Piano Concerto follows, full of beauty and heart, performed by 2022 Gilmore Young Artist winner, Janice Carissa. Mozart’s Requiem closes the program with dramatic, inspiring music that will stay with you long after the final note.

Heywood Banks returns to Weatherwax Hall for another comedy night after his 2022 sellout performance! Heywood is a simply one-of-a-kind, almost impossible to describe artist, with a style of his very own. Equal parts genius and buffoon, this songwriter-comic-singer-poet- musician has become a cult hero and a pop icon. His show appeals equally to college students, businessmen, yuppies, punks, kids, or your grandmother. Join us for a night of laughs at Weatherwax Hall!
