On Saturday August 8th, Route 33 Rhythm and Brews will host the FatCat Festival of Rock, an unprecedented musical event featuring 11 independent rock bands from throughout the Midwest.Unprecedented in that the event was conceived and organized entirely by the fans (and the bands) for the benefit of Rockford, IL based internet radio station, FatCat Radio (
FatCat Radio Network | Your Source For The Best Independent Rock & Blues). The FatCat Radio Network is owned and operated by 'One Angry Swede' and wife ACDCJen and has been supporting independent rock and blues since 2001.
The last of a dying breed, Route 33 Rhythm and Brews is a World War II-era rural highway roadhouse that is situated on the outskirts of Wapakoneta, OH near the corner of "old 33" and Kettlersville Rd. The building has undergone several amalgamations over the last half-century but since 1997, under the passionate guidance of proprietors Ron and Terry Lininger, it has served as the premier small entertainment club in Northwest Ohio.
The Festival will take place rain or shine on Rhythm and Brews' new Backyard Stage. Wristbands will be issued to allow patrons to re-enter the gates as this is going to be an all day / all night event. Food and drinks will be available for purchase on site.
