Minimal: Old Settlers Days 2023

Playing in the Apex Beer Tent at Old Settlers Days at Settlers Park. No additional ticket required.

Minimal is a music trio. That's about it.

Also, they have won at least 15 awards from the Rockford Area Music Industry (RAMI) organization, including Best New Act in 2015. The band played at Old Settlers Days in Rockton before and at Roscoe's Fall Festival. Zach DeCarlo, the lead singer, also plays drums. He told Good Day Stateline, "If Robert Plant sang for Maroon 5, that's probably what we sound like."

Minimal's playlist includes songs from Led Zeppelin, Crosby Stills & Nash, and Black Sabbath, but also from Post Malone, Justin Bieber, and Breaking Benjamin. Bassist and vocalist Greg DeCarlo said, "We are a true variety band."

The band has entertained at many venues over the years, including Mulligan's, Tad's on the Rock, Louie's Tap House, Onyx Bar and Grill, Fozzy's, Stockyard Rock Burger Bar, and Rascal's Bar & Grill.
