Slowly lurching toward your favorite city, the Bejeweled Band returns for a second year in Bloomington for Swifty Fest.

The Indianapolis-based Taylor Swift tribute band plans to honor every era in Swift’s catalog.

They will perform at Swifty Fest on Aug. 17 2:30 p.m. at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater.

The band sold out the Buskirk last year. General admission tickets are $26.94. The theater said prices will increase the day of the event.

Members Aimee Eisenmann and Maddie Lindley formed The Bejeweled Band last spring amid Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour.

WFIU/WTIU News is an independent newsroom rooted in public service.

“Act Independently” is one of the basic creeds of journalism ethics, and we claim it proudly. The WFIU/WTIU News facilities are located on the campus of Indiana University, which does hold our broadcast license and contribute funding to our organization. However, our journalists and senior news leaders have full authority over journalistic decisions — what we decide to cover and how we tell our stories. We observe a clear boundary: Indiana University and RTVS administrators focus on running a strong and secure organization; WFIU/WTIU journalists focus on bringing you independent news you can trust.
