The City of Fort Thomas has announced that Give it to ‘Em, FLORABELLE! Will be the opening act for their 2025 Merchants & Music Festival on Saturday, September 20 at 7:30pm.
Give it to ‘Em, FLORABELLE! is a Missoula Montana based, honky tonk-soul funk super band. Band leader and songwriter Cara Schulz hypnotizes her audience with her booming vocals and over-the-topshowmanship. Schulz was raised performing jazz standards from a young age until she started writing her own music. Her current writing themes stem from a mixture of her jazz heritage, country roots, and passion for the mountains.
In 2023 Schulz moved back home to the land of elk and honey to rally the troops and put Montana on the mark. Known as Montana’s favorite super band, you can count on an unforgettable experience and entertaining show. They always keep it juicy with unexpected guests, prizes, and even healthy snacks for the crowd to enjoy. Their band motto, “One for all, and all for the band,” is a mission statement in hopes to spread human connection, laughter, and inclusivity. There’s never a rug left un-cut at a Florabelle show. Thou shalt cut all the rugs. In fact, hide your rugs…they simply aren’t safe. And always remember to, “Give it to ‘Em, FLORABELLE!”
The Merchants & Music Festival returns to Northern Kentucky with a full day of live music, local eats, and family-friendly fun! This year’s headliner, Niko Moon, will hit the stage at 9pm.
Festival guests can enjoy delicious offerings from NKY and Cincinnati food trucks, West Sixth craft beer, and a lively Kids Zone packed with circus acts, face painting, balloon artists, and inflatables.
Thanks to the incredible support from local sponsors and the Fort Thomas community, Merchants & Music continues to be a free event for everyone to enjoy.
