Stray Bolts will be performing for the first time at Broken Hearts Bar in Chicago on Friday, June 20, 2025 opening for Nick Dittmeier and the Sawdusters, Southern Indiana road warriors who blend Country and Americana with Blues and Indie Rock to create a sound called Twangy Hoosier Music.

Both bands defy traditional genre conventions and both are also supporting new releases with Nick Dittmeier & the Sawdusters playing in support of their new album, "Fast Fashion" and the Stray Bolts playing in support of their latest release, "L.A. Noir."

Broken Hearts, a new live music venue with a rustic vintage vibe, opened in 2024 and is located located in Chicago's West Loop at 1009 W. Lake Street.
