Smashed Productions presents another show.   On July 12, 2008 Killing Adalia with special guest Bionic Monks will take the Strand stage at 7:00.    Tickets are $5 in advanced and $7 at the door.  

On June 18, 2008 the Indianapolis Shrine Band played a FREE program at the Strand.   This event was sponsored by the Shelby County Shrine Club.    This 35 piece concert band played a varied program with many patriotic pieces.  

The highlight of the evening was the improptu performance and AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION in the Chicken Dance.   If you weren’t there……boy you missed it!      Thank you to the Shelby County Shrine Club for arranging this entertaining evening of music.

Hello All,

Joey G. from Smashed Productions once again put on a fantastic benefit show for the Strand on Friday June 12, 2008.    The line-up was excellent.   First on the bill was Amanda and Adam O’Conner.    They performed a stylish set.    The duo will be back at the Strand in July, and from what we heard tonight it too will be a real treat!

Next up was Faded Daze.   The members of this band are well known to Shelby County Audiences.   They have played for many years.     They played an energetic set that covered many different styles of music.  

The headliner of the evening was a return appearance by Travis of the Cosmos.   This band opened our very first rock show and returned with another great evening of music. 

Their video show looked great as it played behind the band during their set.    Thank you to all the bands for donating their talents to help the Strand.    These concerts are produced by Smashed Productions and 100% of the revenue is given to the Strand.   The Strand is able to survive financially in part because of the generosity of these performers and their loyal fans.   From all the Strand family……Thank You!

The much anticipated "Lady’s Night Out" produced by Nick Ciarletta was on June 12, 2008.     This is a Hair Show that featured great demonstrations and products by Nick and his staff.     Proceeds from this event went to the Strand.   It was by far the most financially successful one night event in our short history.   Everyone had fun.   The theatre was decorated beautifully.   The hairstylists were amazing to watch.    Thank you to Nick Ciarletta for his generousity towards the Strand project.    Below are some pictures of the event.

A nice audience joined the Shelbyville-Shelby County Public Library in celebrating their 105th birthday.   They were treated to a FREE jazz piano concert at the Strand on Friday June 6, 2008.    Dave Hepler gave an interesting program of familiar and original works.

The regional band Drop Claw will play the Strand on June 21, 2008 @ 7:00pm.    They will be joined by Dave Scarzo and a return performance by Satellite Blues.   Tickets are $5 in advance and $7 at the door.    This concert is produced by Smashed Productions of Shelbyville.
