The 44th Decadent Cabaret returned to The Brickhouse Pub & Grub in Eau Claire for a back-to-back-to-back weekend of live music. More than 35 bands hit the stage across the three-night event including longtime favorites like The Jaggernauts, FM Down, and Drunk Drivers, as well as younger talent on the scene like ValleyKil, Backstroke, Gossip Bench, and more. Organizers took to socials to shoutout the folks who help bring the annual favorite to life, and the camaraderie between the generations of performers and attendees:

"In an effort to introduce everyone to new faces and new voices, we added over a dozen new acts to the bill this year, many led by individuals from Gen Z, forging their path, cutting their teeth, discovering their sound," the post said. "And folks, they certainly came to play. They stood tall, played their hearts out and laid it all on the line, just like their Gen X and Millennial brothers and sisters. So maybe it's just four old guys being sentimental, but we couldn't be more proud to have them as part of Decadent history now."
