Welcome to the Region Music Scene where two incredible bands from Nashville, TN are performing in Valparaiso! “Little Lungs” and “Virginity Club” with local act, Bridj Williams, hosting this epic evening of original music here in the region at the region’s newest music venue, The Hub NWI. Mark your calendars for Monday, March 16th. This is the beginning of the region’s ORIGINAL music scene. Local and traveling acts alike will be making their home in this new performance space. No cover bands allowed! You won’t hear tribute bands here. For patrons wanting to hear real authentic original music this is the place to find it!
“The Hub NWI” is conveniently located just a stone’s throw in the middle of Crown Point, Hebron, Portage and Valparaiso.

Little Lungs:
Little Lungs combines warm guitar melodies, intimate lyrics, and grounded, driving rhythms that create a sprawling universe of Folk and Indie Rock. Backed by Brendan Russell (bass), Eli Simms (drums), and various friends and collaborators, Little Lungs actualizes the obscure emotions you can’t quite explain, the innate feeling of absence; the flux of infatuation; the beauty of intoxication.
With vivid imagery and decisive storytelling, Little Lungs creates a warm, intimate world that is both welcoming and private, inviting the listener to be a fly on the wall of their room. Their forthcoming album, “The Heat” is available this spring.
Their previous releases include three self-released EPs: Self-Titled EP (2017), Get Your Kicks and Go (2019), and Better In Blue (2021), and a full length record, The Sound That Sent Me Flying (2016).
