Sponge
Overview

Reserve your table in our beautiful, all-weather Biergarten for a fun evening of live music, dancing, dinner, wine, cocktails, and beer!

Opening Act: Under the Influence


The Band:

Get ready for a night of pure ‘90s alternative rock energy as Sponge takes the stage.

Formed in Detroit in the early 1990s, Sponge exploded onto the national scene with their breakthrough debut album Rotting Piñata, delivering radio-dominating hits that defined an era. With gritty vocals, driving guitars, and hooks that refuse to let go, the band carved out a permanent place in modern rock history.

You know the songs.

You’ve sung them in the car.

Now hear them LIVE.


Expect an electrifying set packed with fan favorites like:

• “Plowed”

• “Molly (16 Candles Down the Drain)”

• “Wax Ecstatic (To Sell Angelina)”

• “Have You Seen Mary”

Fronted by the unmistakable voice and presence of Vinnie Dombroski, Sponge brings the same intensity, authenticity, and Detroit-born edge that made them a staple of alternative radio and MTV.

This isn’t just nostalgia — it’s a full-throttle rock show. Crunching riffs. Big choruses. Fists in the air. A crowd singing every word.

Whether you grew up in the ‘90s or simply love real, guitar-driven rock, this is your chance to experience one of the era’s most enduring bands up close and personal.
