“Anyone who has seen Moth Cock perform live music can’t help but wonder at the disconnect between the physical reality of what they see before their eyes in relation to the sounds that hit their skulls.” This duo from Kent, OH has been wailing away for almost 2 decades, mixing their own blend of psychotic free-jazz tinged with psychedelic noise.
Learn Not to Lather: In this collaboration, Josh Glinis and Ben Myers link their synthesizers together and into the visual dimension. Fusing digital circuits and analog tapes, the two create slowly morphing sights and sounds that will delight and mesmerize.
Brett Alan Gershon explores sonic worlds through his tinkering interests in electronic circuitry, computer code, and electro-acoustic resonance.
Guitars of Middle Western USA at it’s core is the duo of John Dawson and Jordan Allen.These noodle-wranglers tap and strum out harmoniously to the middle western landscapes-a thickly heady fog settles over the cornfields as the moon disappears behind the clouds. You hear it everywhere you go: good times are coming and they’re sure coming slow.

The Comedy Attic is proud to present the co-headlining weekend with Mark Bookwalter and Emily Davis! Both Emily and Mark have been not only Bloomington mainstays but are also regionally and nationally known as well.
Emily Davis is a Midwestern comic through-and-through, and a queer darling. She’s been featured at Big Pine, Limestone, Middle Ground, and other comedy festivals. She’s regular at The Comedy Attic, and has been seen doing comedy on Vice TV network. She’s sweet, she’s sharp, she’s silly, and off-stage she would love to talk to you about antiques!
Mark Bookwalter is a real silly goose and one handsome feller. As a kid he was an overweight nerd who used humor to combat bullies. Now he is an overweight nerd who uses humor to combat crippling depression and anxiety. He performs all over the country at comedy festivals, working with such acts as Beth Stelling, Kyle Kinane, Chris Gethard, Dana Gould, and more. In 2023 he released a live album and accompanying special ‘SAGE’. Mark was featured on a stop of the Conan O’Brien’s Team Coco House nationwide comedy tour. His mom says she is proud of him but he’s not quite convinced.
