Spring Fling Craftacular

10:00AM / no cover / 21 and up / Event Will Run From 10am - 4pm

It's that time again! Yes, indeed, the Craftacular returns to High Noon Saloon. This is not your grandmother's craft show, unless perhaps your grandmother is tattooed and pierced in addition to having blue hair. This is an indie craft event that supports local artists in our community and region. Sip a PBR while shopping for one-of-a-kind gifts....or treats for yourself. Handmade clothing, jewelry, photos, and more! Fun abounds! Come on out!

White Rabbits

Here We Go Magic
The Kickback

9:30PM / $14 cover / $12 advance / 18 and up

**TICKETS ARE STILL AVAILABLE FOR TONIGHT'S SHOW**

At first, it's easy to mistake the White Rabbits for just another set of New York City dance-rock hipsters in the Clap Your Hands Say Yeah tradition, but a second look reveals a quirkier and more rewarding aesthetic. A sextet featuring two drummers and a piano player, the White Rabbits refer to their music as "honky tonk calypso," and their cheerful blend of calypso, reggae and ska rhythms, plus secondhand music hall influences and big pop hooks, strongly recalls vintage Madness circa "Our House" and the moodier, more experimental side of the Specials and Fun Boy Three, via Ted Leo & the Pharmacists.

Here We Go Magic is creating songs from melodies that can turn from gorgeous to challenging to a little scary and back again. Sounds are driven and shaped by, but hopefully never grounded by, rhythms that entrance before performing a somersault. It all seems silly on paper, but there are no dirty words: groovy, psychedelic, pretty etc... are all fair game. It is our hope that we generate something generous and surprising, crafted but instinctive, even as it coalesces. So far it is a lovely ruckus.

The Kickback will be kicking things off!
