Tonight is a Good Night

Tonight (weather permitting..) is the first of what will be a weekly Friday Night Fair at the Town Square Pavilion (btwn Longbranch, Tres, Thai Taste, ABC). The fair is a new event with the purpose of promoting local culture and community in Carbondale. It is always free, will have live music by different bands every week, local food vendors, a farmers market, arts & crafts, community info, and kids activities. Nighty Night & Rob Jacobs are playing tonight, Swamp Tigers will be playing the next one on May 6th, and you will see lots of other rad bands there in the future, like Wild Murphy, Giant City Slickers, Parlor, Young Loves, Black Fortys, and more..

Tonight's schedule:

Kid Tiger
plays @ 6p
Rob Jacobs plays @ 7p
Nighty Night plays @ 8p

Vendors will always be there from 6-9p

**The fair is still going to happen if it rains a little, it is under the pavilion! It will only be canceled if it is crazy/lightning.

Tonight is also the benefit show Rainforest Rescue Panama, to raise money for la Asociación Panamericana para la Conservación (APPC), a grassroots, not-for-profit organization involved in wildlife rescue and rainforest conservation projects in the Central American country of Panama. These shows are always SO good, they transform the Hangar into a rainforest, there is a great lineup of bands, and a lot of other goodies, all for a good cause. There will be an Art Auction, Date Auction, Live Art, DJs, Comedy, and a Raffle!

Here is a rough schedule of who is playing when:

8p - Love Chant (Jazz Trio)
830p - Swamp Tigers
10p - Autonomy
11p - Red-Winged Blackbird
1130p - Comedy by Ross Kelly
1145p - Nighty Night
1230p - Mr Free & The Satellite Freakout

@ Hangar 9 - $5 students, $7 non-students (we think..?)
