Human Generated Music with Grant Martin & Friends
Apr

Human Generated Music with Grant Martin & Friends

Since everyone is saying that music generated from prompts is the future, we’ve decided to give it a shot.

So if you’re catching Buckethead at The Arcada on 4/25, swing by Hunt House next door afterwards for some improv shenanigans with my good buddies Noe Perez on guitar and Jacky Legs on drums.

Each improvised piece will be inspired by prompts pulled out of a bucket that the audience can contribute to.

It’s also a BYOB venue, so feel free to donate some ice cold brews to the band. We’ll use that to fuel the music generation instead of valuable fresh water.

Grab tickets here!

Marques Morel + Simon Cropp featuring Leslie Hunt
Mar

Marques Morel + Simon Cropp featuring Leslie Hunt

Marques Morel is an American songwriter and wandering troubadour, known for his honest storytelling and high-energy performances seen everywhere from big-city street corners, to folk festivals and campfires around the world. A raw and rustic performer who has released five original albums, he can turn any room into a raucous, stomping singalong.

Simon Cropp is a flatpick guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, and country-bluegrass songwriter whose performances deliver plainspoken storytelling about love, heartbreak, and the landscapes he travels. Logging thousands of miles on the road, his dreadnought-driven flatpicking blends country crosspicking and melodic sensibility into a sound equally at home on a front porch or a festival stage.

All ages. BYOB. Grab tickets here!
