ZACHARIAH HICKMAN'S POWER OUTAGE PARTY!
|
Monday, Nov. 18
7:00 - 9:00 PM
Join us for a Very Unique Fundraiser!
Let's get weird. Ever wondered what a concert would be like if the power went out, and everyone had to play fully acoustic? With a stage in the middle of the room? With only candles and campfires to light the way? Bassist and impresario Zachariah Hickman is here to help you find out. Come join him and his many co-conspirators for a singular event. Music, stories, theatre ... all from the edge of your seat. Special guests will abound. The show is generously hosted by The Sheffield Sessions and is a fundraiser for WCMS. Come and be a part of Sheffield Sessions lore for years to come. Flashlights and headlamps encouraged (seriously). This show is sure to be a sell out, so
reserve your seat today.
