Every time the Nipper Brothers take the stage, it's easy to see why they are one of the region's most highly regarded Grateful Dead tribute bands. All the praise about their luscious vocal harmonies is well deserved. They are able to take songs like 'Uncle John's Band' and 'High Time' to places that hardly anyone can achieve. They bring the fire with majorly cooking jams on classics like 'Althea,' 'Cumberland Blues' and 'Cassidy.' They even might drop a real 'Drumz>Space,' segued into a glorious reading of 'Terrapin Station.

Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Indigenous Peoples Days! 'We were here. We are here. We will always be here'  Twenty five years ago, tribal members held a candlelight vigil on Broad Street, Nevada City, to protest Columbus Day. This has since turned into a multiple day event for the last 25 years to continue to heal those historic wounds. Local native and non-native people have since gathered every October to celebrate native history and culture.  The Siakumne Tribe and its supporters invite members of the public to join us in our 25th Anniversary of Indigenous Peoples Days, to honor and celebrate all those who have passed on, who dedicated their lives to ensuring we are all still here and able to thrive in the indigenous ways.

« All Events December 8 @ 9:00 pm - December 9 @ 12:00 am Free For anyone who thinks DJs aren't musicians and turntables aren't instruments, it's time to reconsider your thought process. DJ StepDaddy has put as much time and focus into his craft as anyone over the years and the results are evident on every dance floor he commands. When the festivities of Victorian Christmas begin to fade from the streets, the party will continue within the warm and cozy walls of the Crazy Horse. Step takes listeners on a multi-genre journey of music through the art of turntablism; playing hip hop, funk, soul, reggae, boogie & bounce.

The Third Thursday tradition turns over on another calendar year and reminds us how lucky we are to have an event like this every month in our little town. Band Beyond Description is a community pow wow which has been happening for several years now at the Crazy Horse. The local Deadhead contingent has been known to refer to it as 'church.' It all begins with the cosmic Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid – Jonny Mojo (Achilles Wheel) on guitar and vocals and Gary Campus (Deadbeats) on drums. Rumors of telepathic communication are true.
