A LETTER FROM JEFF DAVIS Founder and Producer

PWFOmaha • July 20, 2020

As some of you may know and most of you suspect Playing with Fire won’t happen in 2020. PwF has fallen victim to COVID-19’s canceled tours, closed borders, social distancing, and the inability of our international artists to meet their visa requirements. And that’s the BAD news.


Here is the good news: Although we have postponed until 2021 ALL of our artists have rebooked with us for 2021. We have, however, changed our dates and performance line-ups to accommodate artists with previous 2021 commitments.


And the really good news: To play “Catch-Up” we have added a 4th show to 2021. And, if things work out we would like to add two more concerts!


Dates and Artists confirmed for 2021 are:


FRIDAY/ JULY 16


  • Mike Zito Band


  • MonkeyJunk


SATURDAY / JULY 17


  • Ghost Town Blues Band


  • Delgres


  • Rex Granite Bank featuring Sarah Benck


FRIDAY / AUGUST 13


  • My Baby


  • Lachy Doley


SATURDAY / AUGUST 14


  • Catfish


  • Nikki Hill


  • Freeway


The PwF team is super excited about this line-up! We will tell you more about each artist in the coming months. PwF is planning a great 2021 season at the Capitol District in Omaha, Nebraska.


Until then, Stay Safe,




Jeff Davis
