It is by far one of the best non-concert house setups in the state! After all, this space was originally designed to be a concert house. We also have the best permanently installed visual graphics systems statewide! With all of that, it’s still a low key night for you and your fellow musicians to try a new song or just play for fun. Bring your own guitars or we also have a house Yamaha weighted 88-key keyboard and a 6-piece drum set.
