"I really think anyone would like it," she said. "His performance could impress anybody."

Nelson considers herself a fan of many different music scenes from hip-hop to bluegrass. She said she believes his music encompasses a wide variety of these scenes.

Nick Mason, a Stones Throw employee, said he followed the artist all summer to various performances and festivals.

"There's just so much energy and so much hype," Mason said. "I also like how he hits hip-hop and the hippie scene."

Mason also said he's gotten to know "Heatbox" over the summer and has come to believe he is a down to earth and respectful artist to follow.

"He's like a magnet," Mason said. "He's bound to attract people."

Local jam band "Downer's Grove" and hip-hop group "Frozen Tundra" will play with "Heatbox." Pernsteiner said though it is perhaps an odd compilation of musical genres, "Heatbox" has that diverse of a following.

"I've never seen anyone who's gone to a "Heatbox" show," Pernsteiner said, "and not been impressed."
