Badfish – A Tribute to Sublime, Subliminal Doubt – A Tribute To No Doubt, and Foo Fightaz: The Live Foo Fighters Experience bring a high-energy tribute to the sound, attitude, and raw excitement of the golden era of pop-punk to Simsbury Meadows Performing Arts Center on Saturday, August 15th.

<a href="https://www.badfish.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Badfish – A Tribute to Sublime</a>: The phenomenon known as Sublime, arguably the most energetic, original, and uniquely eclectic band to emerge from any scene, anywhere, ended with the untimely death of lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter Bradly Nowell in May of 1996. But encompassing the scene of place and purpose long associated with Sublime’s music, Badfish – A Tribute to Sublime continues to channel the spirit of Sublime with a fury not felt for some time. What separates Badfish from other tribute bands is they have replicated Sublime’s essence, developing a scene and dedicated following most commonly reserved for label-driven, mainstream acts. Badfish make their mark on the audience by playing with the spirit of Sublime. They perform not as Sublime would have, or did, but as Badfish does.
<a href="https://subdoubt.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Subliminal Doubt – A Tribute To No Doubt</a> brings the 90’s and early 2000’s back with a high energy show that pays homage to one of the most iconic female-fronted alternative rock bands of that era. “Fake Gwen” is one of the most recognized Gwen Stefani tribute artists in the US and has cemented a following of her own in the process. Subliminal Doubt performs multiple genres in a single show, covering the punk and reggae infused alternative rock from Tragic Kingdom, to Gwen’s infectious pop music solo hits. The musicians in Subliminal Doubt have been playing together for many years. The on-stage chemistry is tight and engaging, and every musician pays meticulous attention to detail.
<a href="https://foofightaz.com/home" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Foo Fightaz: The Live Foo Fighters Experience</a> delivers The Ultimate LIVE Foo Fighters Experience! This band brings together powerhouse musicians who’ve rocked stages with some of the top cover acts in the Northeast. From their electrifying sound and high-energy performances to the full-scale live production, they deliver a jaw-dropping, authentic Foo Fighters tribute like no other. If you're craving the thrill of a true Foo Fighters show, this is as close as it gets!

The Indigo Girls:Across four decades, 16 studio albums, and over 15 million records sold, the Grammy-winning duo of Emily Saliers and Amy Ray continue to blaze the trail for generations of Queer artists in the mainstream.
The pair began their career in clubs around their native Atlanta before signing to Epic Records in 1988. Their eponymous major label debut sold over two million copies, powered by singles "Closer to Fine" and "Kid Fears." It was the first of six consecutive Gold and Platinum-certified albums.
"We joke about being old, but what is old when it comes to music? We're still a bar band at heart," says Saliers. "Our passion for music feels the same as it did when we were 25."
Beyond music, Saliers and Ray are committed activists working on racial justice, reproductive rights, immigration reform, LGBTQ advocacy, and Native American rights.
Recently, "Closer to Fine" featured prominently in Greta Gerwig's blockbuster Barbie, introducing Indigo Girls to a new generation. Their 2024 documentary It's Only Life After All blends 40 years of footage into a heartfelt career retrospective.Trina Meade &amp; Co.:
Today Trina Meade is one of Atlanta’s most loved and respected live musical performers the city has to offer! Her passion for music began early watching her father sing in the living room floor and from the pulpit of their church! “My spot was up in daddy’s arms after church watching and listening to many of the church members thank him for his song selections. In school all of my electives were musical in some way.”&nbsp;
Trina moved from Indiana to Atlanta in the mid 80s where she joined one of most prominent bands on the local R&amp;B circuit, later moving into the alternative rock music scene with her band Stereo Popsicle who’s name later changed to Three5Human recording 5 records together. Trina has toured and recorded with artists such as TLC, Pebbles, Babyface, Indigo Girls, Michael Franti, OutKast, Stevie Wonder, Corey Clover, Fishbone, Michelle Malone, and Blind Boys of Alabama through Kevn Kenny to name a few!&nbsp;
Trina is currently writing and recording her first solo album entitled “Ashes”, set to release in the third quarter of 2026! “I’m crazy excited and can’t wait to offer what I have to give to the world!”
