Okay, after a few days unplugged, there's a lot to catch up on:
- Thursday, June 11th at 6:30pm - The next installment of the Sounds Like Summer Concert Series at the Phoenix Park labyrinth will showcase the East Hill Bluegrass Band and the New North String Band. Sounds like a pretty decent night of bluegrass under the stars. Don't forget your lawnchair or blanket!
- Also on Thursday at 7:30pm, the Eau Claire Children's Theater will be presenting 1776, the Tony Award winning musical about the signing of the Declaration of Independence at the Masonic Auditorium.
- Friday, June 12th, John Nielson from the Cloud Hymn will be playing at the James Sheeley House in Chippewa. I've seen him play in his various projects with Wake Up Poland, Cranes and Crows, and with the Cloud Hymn and he is not to be missed!
- Also on Friday and also in Chippewa, the Heyde Center for the Arts will be hosting LYRA, an interesting Russian Orthodox folksinging group that hails from St. Petersburg. Russian folk songs and chants - something you don't hear everyday. Go experience it!
- And for some heartpumping American rock, don't miss Gingerjake on Friday at 10pm at the Stone's Throw. This is one hot local band. For a taste of what to expect, see a video of them here.
- And who can wait for the Open Air Festival of the Arts on Saturday? Not me! The festival will be running from 9am-5pm at Phoenix Park. See my other posts for more details.
- There is a benefit show happening at 10pm on Saturday at the EC House of Rock. Proceeds go toward funding the production of the local film Fenris Unchained, based on Nordic mythology. Go to their site for more details.
- And lastly, on Saturday at 10pm, the Mousetrap will host The Yokanizu Project, a mysterious welding of several musicians who say they started jamming together and the rest was history. Isn't that how most bands get together? Oh well, go see them and find out what their scoop is.
