Inaugural Performance on the
InGenius! Trailside Stage Outside

Hello InGenius! Friends,

Here's a fun live music schedule for the upcoming Solstice weekend!

INSPIRATION CAFE FRIDAY: Listen to professional singer/songwriter Russ Mazion with originals and covers on acoustic guitar. If you missed him last time, here's another chance and well worth your time! Grab a drink, hot or ice-cold, at the coffee and tea bar, and create your own experience—whether it's pure relaxation to end your work week, an art project you bring or purchase here, a game or puzzle, or meeting up with friends.

SATURDAY: Independent songwriter Wes Tracy returns with a whole new mix of acoustic & electric guitar originals and covers that have influenced his song writing over the years. Experience a different side of Wes from what he's performed here before, and enjoy his versatility as a musician.

SUNDAY: Join us as we inaugurate the newly built InGenius! Trailside Stage outside behind the cafe! Fede and Diego will open the show at 1:00, followed by Steven Knopp whose tireless volunteering, hand-in-hand with Diego, made the stage a reality! Special thanks goes out to Michael Apau for his help building the stage, as well! Let Steven rock your world with original acoustic music to make you move. Dancing on the Trail is encouraged! PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN BLANKET OR CHAIR! The cafe will be fully open.

If parking is unavailable directly in front of InGenius!, you’re welcome to park in front of any other business in our strip that is closed. The Yelm City Park lot on Mosman Ave. is another convenient option.

We hope to see you here!
