There’s something about certain bands that stick with you, not just because of the songs, but because of the memories tied to them. For me, Saving Abel is one of those bands. I'd love to send you to see them, so keep scrolling for your chance to see them at Wild Hogs Saloon & Eatery in Walford, Iowa on May 8th!

Back in my own band/touring days, I had the chance to open for them a handful of times, and I’ll tell you this: they were always the real deal. Friendly, down-to-earth guys, and when it came time to hit the stage, they absolutely brought it. No phoning it in, no off nights. Just straight-up, high-energy rock shows that left crowds buzzing.

If you’ve ever blasted “Addicted” or “18 Days” with the volume all the way up, you already know what kind of night you’re in for. And if you haven’t seen them live yet, this is the kind of band that creates fans on the spot. Their mix of Southern grit and radio-ready hooks were made for live, loud, and right in front of you.

What makes this show even better is the local firepower on the bill. NonGrata has been making serious noise around Eastern Iowa, and for good reason. They’ve got that blend of melody and aggression that pulls you in and then knocks you back. The kind of band that turns a casual night out into something you remember the next day and makes you say, "those guys are from Iowa?!"
