It’s being billed as “The Most Epic Lineup in the Entire Universe.”
And while the upcoming musical extravaganza at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park might push the hyperbole quotient, there’s absolutely no doubt that it rolls out as the most ambitious and biggest Tuesday Evening Music Club concert in the amphitheater’s history.
Hosted by Michigan-bred alt-folk powerhouse The Accidentals, the all-female roster of performers also features Emma Zinck, Patty Pershayla, Roxi Jane and The Burney Sisters.
“I’m so excited and I’m so grateful for this opportunity. This is probably going to be one of the biggest shows I’ve played and it’s an incredible lineup,” said Nashville artist Roxi Jane, who’ll bring her signature style of pop and punk to the Grand Rapids show.

“So I’m just really grateful and excited and I get to travel to Grand Rapids, which I’ve never been there. People can expect a lot of energy, maybe some tears. A lot of my songs are pretty emotional and personal to me, but it will be a good time, a great show and lots of energy. Just everyone coming together for the sake of live music.”
Gates open early at 5 p.m., with the show kicking off at 5:20 p.m., 100 minutes earlier than the usual start time for a Tuesday Evening Music Club concert. Adult tickets are $32 for non-members of Meijer Gardens, available online here.
The Accidentals will perform songs from their new studio album, “Time Out No. 3,” which officially gets released Friday (Aug. 15). The band views the extra-lengthy show as a celebration representing “the vibrant spectrum of women’s voices” at one of West Michigan’s most picturesque outdoor venues.
“It’s going to be quite the night,” said multi-instrumentalist Sav Madigan. “We were just on a logistics call trying to figure out how we’re going to pack all this in. … But it is doable … and we have a great team making it happen.”
And with this particular lineup, she said, fans can expect a fair amount of on-stage collaboration between the musicians on Tuesday.
Hard-touring Americana duo, The Burney Sisters, plan to share a set of acoustically infused songs. Based in Huntsville, Ala., the sibling duo of Emma and Bella Burney is known for blissful harmonies and lush storytelling, with themes of love, resilience and self-discovery.

The sisters called the upcoming show “so exciting. We know a lot of the artists that will be there. And then also, we’re really excited to see Emma Zinck perform. We’ve heard so many great things about her. And you know, the Accidentals, we went on tour with them for about a month, a few years ago, and they’re just the best. They’ve been so supportive. So we’re really glad they asked us.”
The duo has “a lot of new music. This year has been heavily about songwriting. And we have lots of stuff to show. Honestly, it can be nerve-racking to perform new material, but it’s also really exciting, especially when it’s brand new. We’ve received a lot of great feedback on our newer stuff.
“Some people are saying we’re going in more of an ethereal fantasy type direction, or that our music sounds cinematic.”
Patty PerShayla, a West Michigan native who also relocated to Nashville, and “electric country” artist Emma Zinck, originally from Virginia, will further pump up the impressive bill, touted as oozing “the spirit of Lilith Fair.”
Roxi Jane will kick off the show at 5:20 p.m., followed by The Burney Sisters, Patty PerShayla, Emma Zinck and, finally, The Accidentals, who’ll take the stage at 8:20 p.m.
