The No Nap Happy Hour

We've teamed up with the Iron Horse Entertainment Group to create the No Nap Happy Hour, a monthly Sunday afternoon series of family-friendly shows at the Iron Horse Music Hall.  

Most shows have a special family four-pack of tickets available for just $30; these four-packs are available only advance.  Go to IHEG.com for details.

Here's the schedule:


2/21 AudraRox
3/14 Gustafer Yellowgold
4/11 Secret Agent 23 Skidoo
5/16 Brady Rymer

We're also thrilled to be part of bringing They Might Be Giants to the Calvin Theatre on New Year's Eve, with a 3:00 family show and an 8:00 14+ show!

Wow. That's a heck of a lineup. Tickets are available at 
IHEG.com. Every show is at 2:00 (1:30 doors).

Bill & Ella & sometimes Liam Childs take over The River airwaves every Saturday morning from 8 - 10 and play indie music for indie kids (and their grownups). Visit SpareTheRock.com to read the playlists, contact Bill & Ella & sometimes Liam, and read the blog.
