ABOUT ABOUT

A night of Alt Country from the outer limits. Bar opens at 6pm. Music after 8:30pm. 21+

Ty Walker and the Humanoids are a band that claim to be from another galaxy, formed after frontman Ty Walker was abducted by a group of aliens who call themselves ‘The Humanoids’. Their genre-bending sound combines alt-country, art rock, soul, sampledelia and psychedelic rock. Known for their otherworldly live shows featuring interactive multimedia, they take audiences on a cosmic journey. To date, Ty and the gang have released their debut LP "Where the Hell is Roscoe?" and are gearing up for their second full-length release, "Home on the Strange," due out in Fall 2024.

Like many of his favorite songwriters (John Hartford, Lucinda Williams, Jeff Tweedy), Izaak Opatz is an ungulate in life’s winter pasture, chewing on and metabolizing disappointment, heartbreak, and the other tough stuff into enjoyable musical carbohydrates. A compulsive metaphorager (and inveterate wordplayboy), Opatz breaks it all down with enzymes of wry humor, thoughtful simile and close observation - a therapeutic process of narrativizing his own life that, almost as a byproduct, turns out savory nuggets of literate, confessional pop.

Show up early for locals Myrtle Mountain Boys starting the night off right:)
