The best outdoor stage in the area

Presidential Brewing Company built this stage for you, the musician. After 25 years of playing music at dozens of venues, our owner decided to build the easiest stage for a cover band to play on. We have the PA, the lights, the sound guy, and power at every corner of the stage. You won’t ever find an easier load in than this!

We love finding the best cover bands to put on the Red, White, and Blue Ox Credit Union stage. We listen to every single submission that comes in through this form.

Not every band is the right fit for our stage. We are primarily looking for rock and country cover bands, as that is what our audience gets most excited for. We look for high energy full bands that bring out the best sing-alongs and get people moving on the dance floor. That is why we ask for you to fill out this form and include video links of your band getting the crowd rowdy. If that sounds like you, please fill out the form below so we can give you a listen! If we think your band is a great fit, we will reach back out to schedule a date to have you play.

Please send us at least two of your best live videos so we can see and hear your band
