The University of Akron’s Art Bomb Brigade is a community arts program that has “bombed” Akron with colorful murals.Paint costs money, of course, so Art Bomb Brigade is holding its 3rd annual Flannel & Music Fest fundraiser at Musica in the Historic Arts District.
Five bands will be featured in an evening that also includes contests and raffles and — mustache wax? Well, that’s what they tell us! Contests include best beard, most flannel and more limber limbo-ist.
Doors open at 7, with the Rubber City Ukes hosting a sing-along at 8pm. You can join in with your own uke; bring it along! JD & Ken will perform acoustic rock at 9; Swell Tides will offer psych punk at 10; Daveferatu & the Highland Squares bring a mix of garage, surf and punk at 11m and Zip-Zapp closes things down with more psych rock at midnight.
Tickets are $10, which will go to buying more equipment and supplies to make more murals.
