🎸 August was LOUD at the BCT!
Last month was PACKED with multiple SOLD OUT shows bringing the noise & energy to the BCT stage!

🤘 From punk legends CIRCLE JERKS almost tearing the house down with a show + screening of REPO MAN (1984), to Tommy Emmanuel’s 1 man show sounding like a full band, to Secretly’s 30th Anniversary with Sharon Van Etten, Kevin Morby, and Jordan Patterson,
Bloomington never fails to show out!

🫶 Huge thank you to everyone who came out, and to all our staff & volunteers who made these shows possible!
