Wordplay

Wordplay presents an offbeat mix of poetry, comedy, and an ongoing exploration of the possibilities of the spoken word. Wordplay’s opening monologue blends music and language (and sometimes sound effects) into a surreal, funny, often darkly serious meditation on the state of one man’s struggles to live in the bewildering world of contemporary America.

Wordplay: Lux

Red's Ramblin' Road

Since 2014, Red's Ramblin' Road has been playing classic country AND western music all the way back to the beginning through the '90s. We play artists like Johnny, Willie, Waylon, Dolly, Loretta, Patsy, and more... but no Blake! We put him on a train out of town. We also sprinkle in a little bit of folk and bluegrass while we ramble.
@6 pm w/Michelle - Classic Country

Thursday Night Throwback

Time travel back to the '80s to hear your favorite pop and rock hits!
@8 pm w/Zach C - '80s Hits
