Admission: $10
$10+ suggested donation / 7:30 doors / 8pm show / seated & standing / all ages Behold the Ya-G's, a band birthed during Covid by scruffy neighborhood dads deprived of live music and deciding to make their own. They’re multi-instrumentalists, but whatever they play, from accordion to slide guitar, it’s all about the song. Depending on where their fancy leads them, the set list might include Prince, VU, Waterboys, Beatles, XTC, Replacements, Talking Heads, Tarbox Ramblers, Kinks, and some originals too —all with jangly rhythms and hoarse harmonies that’ll make you want to sing and stomp along. All proceeds will benefit Nourish a Neighbor local food pantry fundraiser. Learn more at givebutter.com/nourishaneighbor
