show time is 7:30pm

Saturday January 22 Jim Kanas Trio www.JimKanas.com
<http://www.jimkanas.com/> ; Genre: jazz; Venue: Katie's Cup, 502 7th
Street. Starting from a jazz perspective, Jim Kanas has always been driven
to bring a broader influence to his guitar music including western swing,
bluegrass and of course folk music. The influences of Bob Wills, Django
Reinhardt and Norman Blake filtered in. This concert is original music that
is "root based", eclectic and threaded by the process of improvisation. The
Jim Kanas Trio, playing swing, folk, bluegrass and a mixture of country,
jazz and western swing, is defined by its signature sound - tight three part
vocal harmonies with guitar, acoustic bass and either fiddle or mandolin.
However, don't be surprised if you hear pedal-steel guitar, twin fiddles,
banjo, harmonica and dobro.$15 adv.; $18 door

OPEN HOUSE CELEBRATING TEN YEARS OF THE NACHUSA GRASSLANDS HEADQUARTERS BARN

Worth coming just for that! Want to see some prairie? Short 20 minute tours of the Headquarters prairie, or Isabel’s Knob will be ongoing. Eat snacks, see how the building looks, and say “hi” to friends and acquaintances. We will have cheesy door prizes. For the kids there will be two corn toss games, one short and one regular. Mammal’s skins can be touched and skulls of small mammals can be looked at closely. Talk about fun!At 6pm we will have a potluck dinner.

Where:
