Your Neighbors at The Wonder Bar on Wednesday, August 30th. Your Neighbors is headed by an insecure, low rent, drunken has-been with high expectations and a damning sense of self-awareness. He hires world-class producers and extremely talented musicians to make up for his lack of instrumental prowess and shallow lyrics. From Dad-Rock to Hip-Hop, he is finding a foothold in the music world by throwing anything and everything at the wall and hoping something will stick. Come watch this attention-starved wannabe play through his eclectic and nonsensical catalog with his group of grossly underpaid cohorts. Good or bad, it'll definitely be worth attending.

Nectar's Presents Circles Around The Sun on January 27th with Rich Ruth. Tickets on sale now.

Tickets: https://www.ticketmaster.com/event/00005D689F791C4C.

Circles Around The Sun's unconventional origin is defined by a serendipitous twist of fate. Acclaimed guitarist Neal Casal was asked to record a handful of Grateful Dead-influenced instrumentals to be played during the set breaks at The Dead’s “Fare Thee Well” concerts in 2015. To accomplish the task, Casal would recruit keyboardist Adam MacDougall, bassist Dan Horne and drummer Mark Levy to join him in the studio. That was supposed to be the extent of it. Fast forward to the recordings being played over the stadium's PA at the shows. The response from the audience was uniformly resounding, quite literally blowing up the internet with questions as to where this magical music came from and ultimately pleas for more.
