Sharing the bill are Nutmeg and Rose, the duo known for crafting soundscapes as lush and intoxicating as their namesake spices. They'll be followed by Eric Munch, whose lo-fi grooves are the sonic equivalent of finding a first press vinyl at a thrift store for under a buck. With doors opening at 6pm and a cover that's less than your weekly oat milk latte budget, this is the kind of night that lures you away from the Netflix abyss and onto the dance floor. Ages 21 and over—so leave your fake ID at home, grab your most ironic band tee, and prepare to feel the FOMO if you miss out on this auditory adventure.

A Henry Moodie show isn’t just a performance; it’s a rite of passage for anyone claiming clout in the alt-music sphere. So, dust off your thrifted band tee, grab a craft beer, and prepare to lose yourself in a soundscape that will be dissected on your friend’s Substack come Monday. FOMO? More like FOM-yes.
