Brad Colerick Band

Saturday, November 14th, 2026 at 7:30 PM | 7th Street Loft

A Lincoln native, Brad Colerick has had a long and successful career in music. After establishing himself in Los Angeles as an award-winning writer and producer of music for commercials, he has focused his talents on building and polishing a repertoire of original songs to take with him on the singer-songwriter circuit. He is a master of story songs: traveling tunes dancing with acoustic instruments and folk ballads painting sepia-toned visions of southwestern vistas, midwestern prairies, and the ramblers and life gamblers who crisscross them. Brad has now assembled a fine group of acoustic musicians in a folk-americana band based in Fort Collins, CO. Join us for the Lincoln debut of this fine group.
