Independent Canadian/US dual singer/songwriter, Gemini-Award winning actress, and Mom of two under four, Alexz Johnson is based both in New York City and Toronto.

After years of being signed and held by multiple major labels, Alexz decided to claim her independence by carving her own path in the industry. Raising funds directly from her fanbase she's continued to finance her tours, albums, and music videos. This past Spring, Alexz, with her family, returned from her successful headline EU/UK tour, promoting her 5th studio album Seasons (released April 7th). Seasons, was written and recorded remotely at Alexz’s home studio during the pandemic, with the financial help from her thriving Patreon community.

Alexz continues to work independently in music, holding true to her sound and vision as an artist, advocating and inspiring other budding artists in the process. She's looking forward to touring her new album 'Seasons' across the US, Spring of '24.

US 1975 | digital | Dir: Jim Sharman | 100min | R

  Midnight / doors 11:00p
  $8 (advance) / $10 (at the door)
 17+ unless accompanying parent or adult guardian

This campy cult classic (which unfortunately, we can't name here, but you can watch the trailer over there) is the most popular midnight movie of all time.  A corn-fed all-American couple stumbles onto a creepy castle one night when their car breaks down, entering a world they never dreamed existed. The castle turns out to be inhabited by a collection of kinky Transylvanian freaks led by a mad bisexual transvestite.  The film gained notoriety as the most successful midnight movie ever, in which hundreds of cult fans show up in costume and act out scenes from the movie.

You are not allowed to bring your own props.  Prop kits are available at the show.  Prop kits include rice (during the wedding scene at the very beginning, throw yours in celebration), a newspaper (during the rain scene, keep dry), noise maker (during the creation speech, celebrate and MAKE SOME NOISE), toilet paper (when the doctor breaks through the lab wall, hurl your "scotts" tissue), and toast (make your toast during the birthday dinner...toss it), will be available at the show for $4.  YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO COME IN COSTUME.

Doors open at 11:00pm.  Virgin sacrifice before the show.  The movie begins at Midnight.

For more than 50 years, NEKTAR has taken legions of fans on audio-visual journeys to far reaches of the universe and the depths of the ocean with their immersive blend of sight and sound. In 2024, the band celebrates the release of a brand new release. It's going to be exciting to experience this new music! Plus, the band has a new concert CD/DVD release, as well as two new CD/DVD 50th anniversary box set releases of their iconic albums Remember The Futrue and Recycled.

Nektar blends a jam-band vibe with superb musicality, along with a multi-media light and video show that perfectly complements the music. A Nektar show is an unparalleled feast for the senses.

Nektar features two of the original members: Derek "Mo" Moore (bass guitar, vocals) and Mick Brockett (visual environment). Ryche Chlanda (guitar, vocals) and Randy Dembo (bass guitar, bass pedals, 12-string guitar, vocals) are alums of previous Nektar incarnations. World-class multi-instrumentalist Kendall Scott is a wizard on keyboards. With the recent death of founding member drummer Ron Howden, the band has enlisted Jay Dittamo to join the band. Background vocalist Maryann Castello adds her lovely voice to the mix.

The Traveling Light Tour
Abstract
Dylan Owen
Jake Luke

  7:000p / doors 8:00p
  $15 (advance) / $20 (day of show)
  all ages


Raised inJ ackson, Wyoming, and now residing in Nashville, Tennessee, Abstract has broken all the rules. The small town-raised artist has amassed over 500 million streams/views across multiple platforms, and has several US and overseas tours under his belt, all without the help of a major label deal. Allowing himself to be inspired by the influences of his life's journey, he does not confine himself to a specific genre or sound. Instead, he chooses to write from his real-world experiences in an effort to communicate with his listeners as authentically as possible.

Out of the sleepy small towns of Orange County, New York, alternative rap artist Dylan Owen has become a beacon of light for tens of thousands of ardent listeners who come from towns such as these and beyond; who turn to his songs of introspection and wonder and struggle as a soundtrack to their lives, and a kind of navigation device. His vulnerable, poetic rap songwriting has generated press comparisons to alternative icons Conor Oberst and Elliott Smith, and he has collaborated with rap peers Abhi The Nomad, Watsky, Abstract, Kinetics & One Love and opened a tour date for Mac Miller. Dylan possesses disarming technical prowess as an emcee, and has, alongside longtime producer Skinny Atlas, formed production palettes from alternative rap to pop to folk—where neither DJ scratches nor a live violin or trumpet are out of place. Through breakout EPs There's More To Life and Keep Your Friends Close and fan-facing efforts such as his self-published book and Coffee with Dylan series, he has fostered a deeply engrossed and active community that sell out his shows, tattoo his lyrics, buy merch from every drop (from which the proceeds benefit mental health causes), and compose thousands of heartfelt social media messages. What sustains Dylan is his ongoing quest to carve out meaning from his journey for himself and others, and to give it away so that it might empower his listeners, who prove to him time and time again that there is more to life.

Puppeteers For Fears present
CTHULHU: The Musical!
A Rock'n'Roll comedy retelling of the horror classic,
  "The Call Of Cthulhu". performed by puppets and a live band.


  8:000p / doors 7:00p
  $20 (advance) / $25 (day of show)
  all ages (17+ suggested)


A rock'n'roll retelling of the horror classic "The Call of Cthulhu". performed entirely with puppets.

Detective LaGrasse is searching for a murderer. Francine Thurston's uncle vanished. The only clue to both mysteries is a bizarre statue worshiped by a nightmarish cult. And it's leading both of them out to sea, toward a mysterious island from their nightmares-and toward insanity. But, you know, with singing puppets.

Puppeteers for Fears, Oregon's premier rock'n'roll puppet troupe, presents an original show that, in a sensible universe, would be impossible: a feature-length musical comedy adaptation of one of the least musical or comedic stories ever: H.P. Lovecraft's cosmic horror classic, The Call of Cthulhu-performed entirely with puppets, and a live band. See noir detectives, dancing tentacles, anarchist pirates, broken-hearted academics, sassy monsters, and more, as they sing and dance their way to love, madness, and possibly the end of the world.

Written by Josh Gross, and directed by Katy Curtis. Starring Forest Gilpin, Alex Giorgi, Hunter Prutch, Alyssa Mathews, and Owen Webb. Featuring live music from Scott Howard and the Teenwolf Experience.

"You haven't truly experienced Lovecraft's madness until you've experienced it in its truest form: As a puppet musical." - The Portland Mercury
"The most blasphemous ritual of singing and dancing since Chicago." - SyFy Wire
"I don't even like puppets. But that was some next-level puppet shit." - Susan, audience member

Mark Gasper Presents present
legendary UK Psychedelic Rock band
GONG

  8:00p / doors 7:00p
  $30 / Premium Seating $55 (advance)
  all ages



Since its beginnings in 1969, GONG have released albums which created genres, defied genres, and taken people on musical journeys around the stars and back to Earth, all with a bit of "love, from Planet Gong".

Over the decades, with each new album and new tour, Gong have forged new musical pathways, with members moving in and out of the band as the muse would appear or depart. Along the way, Gong has brought influential kindred into the band including Daevid Allen, Steve Hillage, Didier Malherbe, Tim Blake, Pip Pyle, Pierre Moerlen, Theo Travis, Mike Howlett, Allan Holdsworth and Bill Bruford.

A renaissance of the band began in 2009, with Allen adding Ian East (woodwinds), Dave Sturt (bass), Fabio Golfetti (guitar) and Kavus Torabi (also on guitar) into Gong. Allen's life was brought to its earthly conclusion in 2015, but the band has continued with the addition of Cheb Nebbles on drums.

This is GONG today. Still exploring musical innovations, while still being pioneers of psychedelic space Prog rock.

Join us for a multi-media experience, in a rare USA appearance, with a band who defies description in a concert you'll never forget.
