Illumination Series

The Illumination Concert Series is our opportunity to introduce you to new creators you might not have otherwise discovered...and vice versa! If you know of a creator that deserves the spotlight, let us know!

We will be launching this series later this year to "Illuminate Rising Stars". This series provides a platform for creators that have established their brand in a local market and are ready and able to take that next step onto a Regional or National stage. Our goal is to help equip them for that step by providing a great room in which to perform, and also by producing high-quality content with our multi-camera and multi-track recording and post-production capabilities.

We are presently accepting inquiries for our 2023 & 2024 Illumination Series.

Tickets will be available late summer 2023.

Battlestar Series

Battlestar Series

You're a new creator. You've just started a new band. How do you solve the age old "chicken-and-egg" problem of showing a promotor or venue owner that you have what it takes without a place to play? How do you rise above the "signal to noise ratio" in a crowded, noisy musical market? How do you grab the attention of new fans in the midst of the "TLDR" generation?

The Battlestar Series will commence with our first "Battle of the Bands" format in a "sweet sixteen" bracket-style competition in the fall of 2023. We are partnering with several local festivals and our StarGazer Club to provide an exciting "reality TV" style of juried competition that will be entertaining for everyone. All contestants will receive valuable experience, coaching, and footage. Winners from each Battlestar bracket will earn the privilege to appear next season on stage at the sponsoring festival.

We are presently accepting inquiries for our 2024 Battlestar Series.

Stardust Concert Series

Stardust Series

In outer space, stars are formed when large clouds of dust coalesce due to gravitational attraction. When conditions are right, a catalytic miracle occurs, and a star is born.

Our Stardust Concert Series works the same way. We partner with public schools, homeschoolers, and private instructors to transform our space into an "enhanced recital room". Our goal is to platform young artists from an early age by providing them opportunities to perform on a real stage, with real lights, real equipment, and real audiences. The earlier an aspiring musician begins performing, the sooner they will overcome stage fright and shine with confidence.

Our Stardust Series provides those opportunities by providing a crowdfunding platform for music programs. If you are a music instructor or homeschooler, please contact us to explore a collaboration with our Stardust series!

Luckless Pedestrians: A Steely Dan Experience
Sat 11 Nov 2023  • Doors/Shows 6/7PM • TICKETS

Luckless Pedestrian is the culmination of years of obsessive interest in the music of Steely Dan. The musicians involved in the show share a desire to recreate the aesthetic and mystique created by Donald Fagen and Walter Becker. Dedicated musicianship and historical interest in the creation of these songs drives us to a level of integrity and precision that’s in a class by itself. The tight chord progressions and vocal harmonies refined to perfection demand we bring our best. Together we bring years of performing writing and arranging music to the task. We enjoy the opportunity of exposing people of all ages to the deep and wide song list that is the golden age of rock and roll, uniquely timed for us to participate in. And Steely Dan’s music has been with us through it all.
