EVANOFF featuring Erf

Join us Saturday, August 26th with EVANOFF featuring Erf. Doors at 8:15pm - Show at 9:00pm. Tickets are $10.


A staple in the Colorado music scene, Evanoff, is a guitar driven live-electronic trio. Defined by a bold live show full of sonic exploration, blending soaring melodies and emotive bass lines. Evanoff continues to be one of the most versatile acts in the ever evolving world of electronic-rock music.

Erf – captivates audiences with finely honed group improvisation, head-splitting climaxes, and genre-bending earworms of original tunes. After playing 100+ shows, and becoming an established local act, the IA quartet has infused their own progressive sensibility into their roots, creating a truly unique live experience that keeps crowds moving from start to finish, hanging on to every key change, transition, or fill. Late 2021 saw the release of their debut full-length album, ‘Pale Blue Erf’, and with that the band has begun to branch out of their home state, aiming to cement themselves as a premier touring act.

Join us Saturday, July 29th with Zoofunkyou featuring Birdie Pie. Doors at 8:15pm - Show at 9:00pm. Tickets are $10 and include a free can of beer, NA beer, or canned cocktail.

Zoofunkyou is a soulful psychedelic stew, based in the blues, served with a healthy dollop of rockin’ funk and peppered with southern and latin spices.

Birdie Pie proudly hails from the strong, beating heartland of the Midwest USA. Much like the area the band comes from, Birdie Pie is truly an artful balance.... Artfully balancing reverie for the knowledge and wisdom of our heroes, while also remaining uncompromised when it comes to taking creative risks and pushing the envelope forward.
