Will Hoge and his Rock and Roll Band
Grammy-nominated Nashville lifer whose gravel-throated heartland rock has carried two decades of hook-heavy, big-hearted records — playing two different sets across the weekend.
Eastside Ramble 2026 Lineup
Eastside Ramble 2026 has already wrapped — but you can still dig through the lineup and find the acts you would have loved.
Will Hoge's two-day East Nashville gathering — rock and roll, magic, comedy, and bowling across all three rooms of the Eastside Bowl, noon to 9pm.
About Eastside Ramble 2026
The Eastside Ramble is Will Hoge's hand-built answer to festival bloat: two July days inside the Eastside Bowl, East Nashville's beloved venue-slash-bowling-alley, with music running noon to 9 p.m. across all three rooms. The inaugural 2026 bill is 17 acts deep and personally picked — heartland rock, americana, blues, and country-soul from road-tested lifers and East Nashville's own, plus comedy, bowling, and a punk-rock magician, because a Ramble should ramble. It's the anti-mega-festival: small rooms, short walks, and a host who treats the whole weekend like his living room.
Expect americana, singer-songwriter, folk and indie folk across 17 acts.
