All-star supergroup John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band follows on Thursday, Aug. 17th at 7:30pm. All seats are $33.50.
Delivering bluegrass like no one has ever heard before, the band’s undeniable live shows have received stellar reviews.

This is the “high lonesome sound” of American roots music at its finest.
Looking ahead, catch the Elisabeth Carlisle Band live in concert on Wednesday, September 20th at 7pm. All seats are $26.50 with student discounts available.
A singer/songwriter from Santa Cruz, she is known for her poignant lyrics and distinguished melodies.
