Come ROCK OUT with us on June 13!
You already know the sketch.
Now imagine it turned into a full-blown live music dance party.

“More Cowbell” takes the iconic Will Ferrell–Christopher Walken SNL moment and explodes it into a night of spontaneous music-making, legendary grooves, and nonstop dancing.

A powerhouse band, a live improvisation conductor, and a playlist of cowbell-fueled classics collide for a one-of-a-kind experience where every performance is created live in the moment — and will never happen the same way twice.

From funk and soul to rock anthems (yes, including “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper”), this is a full-body, shimmy-till-you-drop kind of night.

Featuring Claude McCan, Frederico7, Leila Louise Henley, Andrew Nolte, Alán De León Uribe, and Michael Hale

If you’ve ever air-drummed a cowbell solo or believed some songs simply demand dancing, this show is for you.

Bring your fever. Wear comfortable shoes.

Enjoy Pershing Hall’s full bar, craft cocktails, and dinner menu throughout the evening.
