General admission, limited seating

After dropping their anthemic single “Legendary” in 2017, the indie rock world was quickly introduced to Welshly Arms’ penchant for unleashing larger-than-life alt-rock bangers and spine-tingling live performances. Their 2018 album No Place is Home has garnered over 375M total streams and provides a sensational musical journey that hits all the swaggery notes. Put simply, the band injects a powerful dose of emotion that continues to leave the Welshly Arms’ faithful enamored.
Coming off a successful German festival tour in the summer of 2025, Welshly Arms returned to their native Cleveland, Ohio, and released two new singles - “Glorious” and “In Chills” - that mark a defining new chapter for the band. Shaped by reflection, momentum, and a renewed sense of purpose, the songs were recorded in a familiar home-base environment that allowed the group to explore both power and vulnerability without distraction. Together, the releases capture a band pushing forward with clarity and intention, balancing the grit and resilience that define their sound with a more stripped, emotionally exposed approach - signaling a clear and confident path ahead.
“With “In Chills,” we wanted to step away from the grit and power of our usual sound and strip things back. A cleaner, more vulnerable production let the emotion sit closer to the surface - the performance feels exposed, almost fragile at times, which mirrors the uncertainty and tension in the lyrics,” says Sam Getz [Lead, Singer, Guitar]. Regarding “Glorious,” Getz adds, “We wrote “Glorious” because we needed a reminder that even in the hardest moments - when your head is down and you feel like giving up - there’s still something inside worth fighting for.”
After dropping their anthemic single “Legendary” (now a certified platinum single in several European countries that has been streamed over 250 Million times) in 2017, the four midwesterners were catapulted from playing local music clubs in Cleveland onto the world’s largest rock festival stages including Lollapalooza, The Reading & Leeds Festival, Bottlerock, Rock am Ring, Hangout Music Fest, Shaky Knees, and more in less than a year’s time.
The quick rise for Getz, Jimmy Weaver [bass, vocals], Bri Bryant [vocals], and Jon Bryant [vocals] saw the band play for massive sold-out festival crowds instantly hooked by “Legendary” and other Welshly Arms’ hits such as “Indestructible”, “Learn To Let Go”, and “Sanctuary” (the latter two were both Top Ten Songs in Germany). In mere months, Welshly Arms became indie-rock darlings cherished from Los Angeles to Warsaw.
While on the road in Europe and North America for seemingly two straight years, Welshly Arms’ tunes appeared in popular media including Quentin Tarantino's award-winning film “The Hateful Eight” (Trailer), Underground 6 (Netflix), Empire (Fox), FIFA (EA Sports), and were used by major brands such as Miller Lite, Jeep, ESPN, MLB, NFL, and NASCAR, among many others.
Welshly Arms’ latest singles, “Glorious” and “In Chills,” showcase two powerful sides of the band’s evolving identity: one rooted in defiant resilience, the other in vulnerable restraint. “Glorious” arrives as a towering anthem of perseverance, channeling themes of faith, purpose, and inner fire into a bold declaration of strength, where struggle is transformed into triumph and pain becomes fuel for forward motion. In contrast, “In Chills” strips the band’s sound back to its emotional core, embracing a cleaner, more exposed production that captures the thrill and unease of unexpected connection - the tension between control and surrender, desire and aftermath. Together, the tracks expand Welshly Arms’ soul-lifting rock-and-roll ethos, balancing grit and power with intimacy and emotional risk, and signaling a band unafraid to claim both victory and vulnerability in equal measure.
The fan-favorite duo of Bri and Jon Bryant breathe spiritual life into every cut through their uplifting choral vocal moments. While Getz’ soaring lead vocals and lyrics implore listeners to persevere through life’s obstacles in between awe-inducing guitar solos. Weaver, a production mastermind and gifted studio rat, sprinkles contemporary flavors through groovy basslines, synth chords, and tasteful electronic effects.
Recharged and replenished, the four members of Welshly Arms look to continue to bring their successful hits and latest singles to the masses with their signature fiery passion that continues to inspire music fans all around the world.
