We are less than two months out from the start of our great Indiana State Fair! This week, they announced the first wave of who would be performing on the Free Stage: Melissa Ethridge, Babyface (Hoosier native), Three Dog Night and Billy Murray and His Blood Brothers! That’s a fantastic lineup! But let’s back up for a second, because I didn’t realize actor Bill Murray was a musician and singer, did you? Kinda reminds me of Kevin Bacon, who has performed for many years a part of The Bacon Brothers. Count me in…I’ll be there August 8th, show starts at 7:30 (give or take a half hour knowing Bill) Oh, and the concerts at the Indiana State Fair are INCLUDED with your paid admission to the fair~

🎉 Announcing our first @hoosierlottery Free Stage concerts for 2025!

Don't miss @babyface, Bill Murray & His Blood Brothers, @metheridge, @threedognight, and Disney Throwback DJ Night all FREE with Fair admission.

Here’s a video of Bill Murray and His Blood Brothers performing earlier this year in San Francisco. The audio is a little low, but I was surprised the Bill actually can sing!
