DancingFish Happy Hour at Arbeiter Brewing

Thank you so much for joining us for our first DancingFish Happy Hour! We had a great time connecting with new and old friends. Here are our reflections on the event.

Favorite beer: Arbeiter's Acid Factory: "A fun little beer that was in part inspired by orange sherbert push-pops, but with peach puree and apricot flavoring." Delish and dangerously drinkable.

Favorite snack: Trader Joe's Chevre goat cheese with fine herbs. Very fine indeed.

Favorite project we learned about: We are so excited about Cassandra Johnson's upcoming release, Where Will The Wind Take You. The first track is expected Oct 11!

Favorite compliment: We heard from you that you love DancingFish Events and are grateful for the events that we put on. Thank you so much for telling us - we really appreciate it!

We are hoping to make this a semi-annual tradition, so stay tuned for an announcement about spring 2025!

In the meantime, we are kicking off a busy fall show season with D.C. Leonhardt's album release show on Tuesday, Oct 8 at Zhora Darling. D.C. Leonhardt's original songs bring ordinary moments to life with both heartbreaking and comedic results. Blending the humors and tragedies of labor, love, and religion, D.C.'s talent for storytelling shines through in his debut album, (roughly). We hope you'll join us to hear it in its entirety and celebrate new music with us.

We're also very excited for Sunday Scaries on Oct 27 at Green Room, and GHOSTchella on Halloween at Icehouse. Tickets are on sale now, and we would love to see you there. Costumes are encouraged at both events, and you can even win prizes for your costume at GHOSTchella!

All my love,

Sarah

SUNDAY SCARIES coming soon!

Never fear, Sunday Scaries is (almost) here! In collaboration with Coffee Break Entertainment, we're so excited to announce a Musical Celebration coming to Green Room on Sunday, October 27. Join us for a stellar lineup and help us raise money for the Justice for Dave Velk Fund. We can't wait! We're also pumped to be joined by many of our favorite local companies - thank you for celebrating our musical family with us.

Tickets On Sale Now

Here is the big announcement you've been waiting for: the lineup!

Mike Horvath: Mike Horvath performs original songs and covers using his voice and a looper to construct chords, percussion, and melodies by manipulating vocal samples to create vibrant, high-energy songs right before your eyes. He’s honored to be opening for such talented local artists in the iconic Green Room!

D.C. Leonhardt: Somewhat of a folk traditionalist, D.C. Leonhardt’s live shows are a blend of borrowed and original songs and the stories behind them. His own songs generally focus on labor, love, and religion and the humors and tragedies they bring. His debut album, (roughly), is slated for release in October 2024.

Laura Hugo: Laura Hugo is an Indigenous singer/songwriter from Teec Nos Pos, AZ located in the Navajo Nation. She has used her experiences with grief, mental health and general confusion about her place in the world to write honest and relatable songs.

KIERNAN (solo set): Kiernan is the project of Minneapolis-based musician Laura Kiernan (she/her). Laura hopes her music nourishes your ears like a nice hunk of bread. It’s just like when you’re feeding the pigeons: soft, silly, spacious and best done with friends.

Poison Ivy And The People: Poison Ivy And The People are existential, edgy, and honest. A little grunge for your dreams, with passion and theatricality.

We are so stoked to welcome Poison Ivy And The People as our headliner!

Stay scary out there,

Sarah
