Andy Sydow
Americana, rock, folk, singer-songwriter, Andy Sydow is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist who's lyrics paint a picture of poetic realism. Touring consistently both solo and with a backing band, Sydow is known to sway an audience with acoustic guitar ballads, sing a few numbers on his lap steel, and even sit down at the keys to show off his surprising boogie-woogie piano chops. He draws comparisons to voices like Paul Simon and Jackson Browne, mixed with a roots rock vibe reminiscent of Tom Petty or Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats.
Live at the Liderkranz 2025 Oktoberfest: The Killigans
The Killigans are a seven piece “folk-punk” band from Lincoln, NE. The Killigans “sound” combines the diverse musicals tastes of the bands members; fusing Punk Rock, Folk, Country and Western, Celtic, European folk, Americana, and other types of music into an upbeat, foot-stomping, beer-raising party. Lyrically, the songs range from classic storytelling to rebel songs to ballads to middle class anthems. The Killigans are a band who thrive on live performance and crowd interaction.
Core members include Brad Hoffman and the Nebesniak brothers.
Ruth Wyand has achieved a level of diversity that has exceeded the expectations of audiences around the world. Her guitar virtuosity is demonstrated by dynamic fingerpicking, bottleneck slide and a warm alto voice. She plays a mix of Americana, jazz, blues, folk, country augmented by Piedmont and bluegrass clawhammer fingerpicking.

Cruz Control is a three piece band based out of Omaha Nebraska. The band creates and blends their own sound based off of their love for Funk, Reggae and Jamband style music. Cruz Control is guaranteed to get you moving!
We’ll see you at the show!
At first one may want to say the songs are simple and straightforward as an Americana song seems. But the complex layers of Depew’s music subtly unfold. The lyrics are often haunting and longing, guided by the mastery of instruments. The beauty and hardship of life weave together in each piece. I really enjoyed listening on a poetic level, the writing, and story that carries the song, combined with the pleasure of the music itself.
Gallivant: Short Shorts, Tube Socks, Long Hair, And Good Ol' Fashioned Rock n Roll! Gallivant is a three-piece, riff-based groove rock band, that sets a high bar for the new age of rock and roll music. They bring a high energy, arena sized rock show to stages all across the country.
This is a can't miss event...Liederkranz Live...get here...be here...rock here!
The Lumpenball is the last of the last Parties of Fasching!
-and arguably the best of the Fashing Parties!
In German, Lumpen is translated as “rags” or “Ragamuffin”…. and a Ball is, well, a Ball, with dancing.
A Lumpenball, in translation, is a Ragamuffin Ball or a dress down to raggy clothing ball- no need to dress fancy ball.
Playing Live for the Liederkranz Lumpenball is Angie Kriz and The PolkaToons who plays mostly Czech polkas and waltzes, but also add lots of variety and fun to their parties! They are a three piece band consisting of primarily Angie on button accordion and vocals, Craig Falls on Tuba, and usually Justin Patrick on Drums
A working class soul.
A ten pound steel guitar.
A voice dripping of nostalgia.
Writing and recording as a solo artist since 2014 has led to the release of albums including Medicine (2020), Live. In House (2021) and recent studio release, Rust Don’t Shine.
Every live performance exposes parallels between his personal journey and the American experience, no matter the size of stage.
Each song, a story to further develop the focus on the benefits and struggles that come with small town rural life.
