THE KINDRED CREATIVE KITCHEN- COUPLE’S NIGHT: ST. PATRICK’S DAY FEAST
It’s St. Patrick’s Day! Join in this hands-on class where the group will explore Irish cuisine and make a 3-course meal.

IRISH RAMBLING HOUSE AT THE TOWER THEATRE
In Ireland, the neighbors would pick a house to ramble in the evenings to share music, dance and story. It was these settings that bore their humor, charm, and a sense of community and togetherness which is what Rambling House exemplifies. https://www.towertheatre.org/tickets-and-events/the-irish-rambling-house
LEGENDARY SHACK SHAKERS, HILLBILLY CASINO, AND BEYOND THE LAMPLIGHT AT THE VOLCANIC THEATRE PUB
Led by their charismatic, rail-thin frontman and blues-harpist JD Wilkes, the Shack Shakers are a four-man wrecking crew from the South whose explosive interpretations of the blues, punk, rock, and country have made fans, critics, and legions of potential converts into true believers. https://www.tixr.com/groups/volcanictheatre/events/legendary-shack-shakers-hillbilly-casino-beyond-the-lamplight-60403
