Old Last Night w/BCO, Michael Perry, Tomáš Kubínek
Join us as we celebrate with music and laughter the end of
another year. Our beloved house band, The Blue Canvas
Orchestra, opens the night with rollicking renditions of our
favorite songs, illuminated by big screen images. Author,
humorist and host of Tent Show Radio, Michael Perry
delivers hilarious, winding tales of rural Wisconsin life.
Tomáš Kubínek, is a comic genius, virtuoso vaudevillian, and
all-round charmer who gives audiences an utterly joyous
experience they'll remember for a lifetime. His latest creation,
Miracle Man, is a rip-roaring revival of strong-man stunts,
snake-healings, and mass-hypnosis that leaves audiences
dazed, beaming and in love with life once again.

The Nederland, Colorado quintet, Elephant Revival, is a
joyful group that plays music they call "transcendental
folk," incorporating elements of Celtic, gypsy, indie rock and
alternative country. Mandolin Orange is a North Carolina
duo who broke onto the folk and Americana scene with
their acclaimed album This Side of Jordan in 2013. This is our
festival-style closing night where all of the seats are taken out
of the tent.
