Toast – The Ultimate Bread Experience
2025-06-13 19:00 - 22:00 | The Lerner Theatre
TOAST is the No. 1 Tribute in the world to the 70’s hit band, BREAD!
With a surprising fidelity rarely heard from a live tribute band, their sound is often described as “spot on” to the original recordings. Audiences everywhere rave about closely their live performances sound like the cherished records they listened to back in the day.
“BREAD VIRTUALLY INVENTED soft rock in the early Seventies, and the group’s biggest hits — ‘Make It With You,’ ‘If,’ ‘Baby I’m-a Want You’ and ‘Everything I Own’ — remain staples on lite-rock radio.” – Rolling Stone
TOAST takes the audience on a journey back in time, engaging a spectrum of emotions; from the tender moments that tug on the heartstrings to the upbeat classics that compel them to jump out of their seats and dance. And when combined with the timeless music of Bread, this concert has “risen” to the top as one of the absolute favorites of audiences everywhere!

Her most recent release, This Dream Of You, has garnered critical acclaim from fans and press alike.

Elkhart Jazz Festival Presents: Connie Han Trio
2025-06-20 18:30 - 20:00 | The Lerner Theatre
This show is included with purchase of a Friday Pass or Weekend Pass!
“Connie Han has established herself as one of contemporary jazz’s most talented and inventive musicians by combining the precision of her childhood training as a classical pianist with the improvisation, and irrepressible emotion, of her heroes Freddie Hubbard and Kenny Kirkland.”
— Variety Magazine
Hailed as “The Jazz Warrior-Goddess” in a full feature artist profile by Downbeat Magazine, Connie Han possesses “a skill and ferocity unmatched by all but the most accomplished of pianists.”
Pianist and provocateur Connie Han has created an edgy blend of modern and traditional jazz with her incendiary Mack Avenue Records debut CRIME ZONE. At 29, this young lioness is on a fast-climbing trajectory to jazz stardom with rave reviews from The New York Times, Jazziz Magazine, Downbeat Magazine, and more. According to Downbeat Magazine, Han has “already absorbed the post-bop piano masters” with “all the technical mastery she’ll ever need.” The New York Times describes her as “the rare musician with fearsome technical chops, a breadth of historical knowledge and enough originality to write tunes that absorb your ear easily.”
This show is included with purchase of a Friday Pass or Weekend Pass!

Elkhart Jazz Festival Presents: Yellowjackets
2025-06-20 20:30 | The Lerner Theatre
This show is included with purchase of a Friday Pass or Weekend Pass! Single Event Tickets are also available.
Throughout their storied 43-year history, the Yellowjackets have recorded 26 albums, received 16 Grammy® nominations – won 2 – performed countless sold-out tours, and enjoyed worldwide critical acclaim and commercial success.
The Yellowjackets formed in the late 1970’s as the backup band for guitarist Robben Ford. They recorded their first album together in 1980. Shortly after that recording, however, Ford decided to part ways and go in a different musical direction. As a result, the modern day Yellowjackets were formed — a trio with Russell Ferrante, Jimmy Haslip and Ricky Lawson. Since then, and with the addition of Bob Mintzer, the Yellowjackets have gained and maintained prominence as one of jazz’s most influential and loved groups.
Over the years the band has undergone numerous lineup changes. Never failing to rise to the inevitable challenges of adjustment, the Yellowjackets – Russell Ferrante, William Kennedy, Bob Mintzer – have maintained an extraordinarily high quality of musicianship that is the rival of many but a surprise to no one who knows and appreciates the band and their music.
The most recent addition to the band adds Australian bass player Dane Alderson in to the mix. With his exceptional rhythmic sensibility and natural disposition toward groove, Dane brings a new energy to the band and adds a youthful approach to the music.
The Yellowjackets album “Raising Our Voice” was released in Fall 2018 and features special guest vocalist Luciana Souza. Their album “Jackets XL with the WDR Big Band” was nominated for a Grammy® in 2021.
Their latest album “Parallel Motion” (2022) also received a Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Instrumental Album and is a true testament to the longevity and resilience of a band who debuted over 40 years ago. Consistently reinventing themselves through elevated instrumentation in their signature electro-acoustic soundscape, the current lineup showcases a collective at their prime.
This show is included with purchase of a Friday Pass or Weekend Pass! Single Event Tickets are also available.

Lerner on the Lawn: Let’s Rock! – EatDrinkBeHappy
2025-06-28 18:00 - 20:00 | Central Green
EatDrinkBeHappy is the bold new project from Nashville songwriter and artist John Allan Miller, created as both a music project and a life philosophy: live fully, laugh loudly, and never let your soul grow old.
John’s journey began in 2015 when he moved to Nashville to chase down a dream and build a career in songwriting. That dream took root fast after signing his first publishing deal in 2017.. Since then, his songs have been recorded by over 100 artists across genres, including major label names like Grammy-nominated contemporary Christian star Blessing Offor, country standout Tiera Kennedy, and rock mainstays Saliva, who are releasing his song “Devil’s World” as their next single.
As a performer, John earned a reputation for his high-energy, magnetic presence at iconic venues like The Bluebird Café, The Listening Room, and The Wildhorse Saloon. His artistry took center stage in 2019 when he was selected for CMT’s prestigious Artist Development program. Over the next two years, his solo country career flourished, racking up millions of streams with songs like “Just Add Water,” “Bad Day To Be A Beer,” and “Once in a Blue Moon”.
In 2024, John made a conscious shift. Tired of being boxed in by genre and wanting to tell a bigger story, he stepped away from the country brand and went all in on a new chapter: EatDrinkBeHappy.
Since launching in June 2024, EatDrinkBeHappy has released 15 genre-blending singles that celebrate adventure, purpose, and joy. The latest single, “Die Young”, explores the idea of growing old while staying young at heart, anchored by its unforgettable hook: “I wanna die young as old as I can.” The next release, “On My Way To Somewhere,” drops June 27th, with the debut EatDrinkBeHappy album following later this summer.
Alongside the music, Miller is launching the EatDrinkBeHappy Podcast in June 2025—a platform where he’ll dive deeper into the stories behind the songs and his ongoing journey to live life as fully as possible.
For John Allan Miller, EatDrinkBeHappy isn’t just a rebrand. It’s a mission and an invitation for all to join in on doing all to live this one life as fully as possible.
