On Thursday, October 23rd, Southern-born, Northern-raised Dylan Doyle brings his soulful blend of R&B, Americana, and funk to the stage. A prodigy-turned-road warrior, Doyle’s sound—shaped by influences like Hendrix, Mayer, and Bill Withers—has earned him recognition from legends such as Bill Payne of Little Feat and induction into the New York Blues Hall of Fame. Suggested donation: $20–30.
Then on Friday, October 24th, Nebraska’s own Kris Lager and his big band light up the room with their high-energy, life-affirming mix of blues, funk, and soul. Known for turning every show into a joyous, communal experience, Kris brings a “Celebrate Life” spirit that gets everyone dancing. Suggested donation: $25–35.
Both evenings begin with a community potluck at 6 p.m., followed by family-friendly concerts starting at 7 p.m. Come for the food, stay for the soul.
