8 Bits of Fun

Whoa. There's going to be a psychedelic folk fest in Burque, dudes, except it's all '80s style complete with an 8-bit musical motif too. Presented by multi-instrumentalist Olivia Komahcheet and also featuring Bud Melvin—a local king of the 8-bit aesthetic—as well as the unique pedal steel and drum chemistry of the Gral Brothers and the humorous, new-pants-wearing humor of singer-songwriter David Bridwell, this singular and sonically challenging event is going down at Tractor Brewing Wells Park on Wednesday, March 20 at 8pm. Think about it this way: it's on hump day, it's totally free for 21+ humans, you get to hear heaps of bleeps, bloops, twangy sounds and loopy effects plus there's beer available for your midday, millennial consumption. What more can you ask for, kidz? Okay. Now you know, so get out and go. (August March)
