ROBERT ROLFE FEDDERSEN
Robert Rolfe Feddersen and his full SIX-PIECE band be returning to the stage at the 2026 Michiana Festival of Beers.
Based in Crown Point, Indiana, Robert Rolfe Feddersen is a seasoned musician whose career began in Chicago. He was the frontman of the mid-90s band Loudmouth and earned a gold album for the hit song “Fly” from the film Varsity Blues. His songwriting has been featured in movies, trailers, and television shows, earning comparisons to legends such as Springsteen, Steve Earle, and Woody Guthrie.
Robert’s recent albums have been recorded analog in Chicago by Steve Albini, the legendary producer known for his work with Nirvana, Pixies, and Cheap Trick. His latest album, Radioville, was released in 2025. Known for his engaging and entertaining live performances, Robert incorporates storytelling and a unique guitar-playing technique, using a right-handed guitar flipped left-handed. He performs over 100 shows per year and ranks among the top 1,000 performers worldwide on Bandsintown in 2024.
Robert and his exceptionally talented wife Terri Ann are beloved musical artists throughout the Midwest, giving their talent and time to supporting breweries near and far. We are proud they make Michiana their home. Their commitment to supporting their Michiana community is evident and strong.
Fans can expect an unforgettable afternoon of live music, storytelling, and craft beer. This performance is sure to be a highlight of the festival.
Rock out with FIVE local and regional bands at this year’s festival!
