Silver Dome Ballroom

Hello Friends. Going to be another beautiful day in the neighborhood and a great day to crush a few cans with Chris Kroeze, KAT PERKINS and MADLEE at the historic Silver Dome Ballroom. Advance ticket sales are closed but there will be tickets available at the door and we should have room for everyone. So come on out and have a ball in the country, listening to some Country, at an actual historic ballroom (Nat'l Register of Historic Places)! Hope to see you later today and, either way, don't forget to love each other!

Hello Friends. No worries for those of you experiencing any FOMO from not being at this weekend's Northwoods Rock Rally, as we've got four of the best bands from the Rally coming to rawk the historic Silver Dome next Saturday, August 24th, including headliner, MOTHERWIND, who recently signed a management contract with Vicky Hamilton, former manager of Guns 'n Roses, Poison, Motley Crue and others. Big things ahead for Motherwind, so check out their latest video and come on out to see them for a lousy $15 before they get too big to afford! Doors at 6, music at 7, let's RAWK!!

Hello Friends! Hope everyone enjoyed a great Fourth of July week! If you were lucky enough to attend last weekend’s awesome Hill Country Picnic, you would have seen the one and only Duwayne Burnside repping for the historic Silver Dome Ballroom during Friday night’s headline set. Thanks Duwayne!

Hello Friends! It's a soggy day in the neighborhood but it looks like we may be done with rain for the day, with only a 40% or less chance of more showers later this evening and, of course, it's nice and dry in the Silver Dome. FYI to those looking for food tonight that the Speakeasy is unexpectedly closed for the rest of the month, reopening July 1st, so we'll grill some brats and have a couple sides available, just in case. Doors at 5, music around 7 and this is a FREE event! Hope to see you later today at the Dome and we'll all do some shakin' to this classic - Let's Shake!

Hello Friends. Looks like it's going to be a little wet on Saturday, maybe not such a great weather day in the neighborhood, but it'll be nice and dry inside the historic Silver Dome for some great Rock & Roll courtesy of Dave Rave, Rich Mattson, Big Trouble House and more on Saturday evening. Since your yard party or camping are going to be rained out, you might as well make plans now for the big Rock Show at the Dome, and did we mention that it's all FREE, FREE, FREE? Here, let Dave pick you up with his own Lear Jet, have a listen, and don't forget to love each other!

Hello Friends! Hope this finds everyone in good health and spirits! We're ramping up to next Saturday's FREE live music extravaganza, a customer appreciation party of sorts, and really looking forward to the appearance of DAVE RAVE, whose Gold and Platinum selling Canadian band, TEENAGE HEAD, are considered by many to be the Ramones of Canadian. Heady praise indeed and we're here for it! And don't sleep on the rest of the bill either, especially RICH MATTSON & THE NORTHSTARS, who you can also see on tour with none other than BUILT TO SPILL in August, how cool is that?! And there's lots more too with a BIG TROUBLE HOUSE reunion, EDIE & CRAIG, MATT CAFLISCH and BABY GRANT JOHNSON. All the details on the flyer below and, while you're at it, take a look and listen to this lo-fi video of a definitely hi-fi song, Apex, by RICH MATTSON & THE NORTHSTARS. Hope to see you next Saturday and don't forget to love each other! Enjoy!
