Major Dudes return to Ground Control and will get a jump on Halloween by playing a week before the actual day. Don't let that stop you from giving your getup an early trial run.

As we did a year ago, not only will the Dudes Deliver the Dan as is their wont, there will also be a set of Waldon Reed Scary Scores. Yes, our illustrious Major Dude guitarist, Waldon Reed, and his partner in crime, drummer Jim Pryor, collaborate regularly on guitar-based arrangements of movie and TV music from horror and sci-fi sources and they, along with their Dude bandmates, will bring a sets worth of that material to the evening's proceedings.

General Admission: $15

Sweet Baby James, Fire and Rain, You've Got a Friend, How Sweet It Is, and many more of the classic James Taylor tunes we've known and loved for decades interpreted by local legend, guitarist/vocalist Al Carmichael, and his most excellent band.

The Shawn Riley Band makes a triumphant return to the Ground Control Room for what will surely be a fun and memorable 2026 Thanksgiving Eve. SRB plays classic rock faves going back 60+ years and working forward from there. Variety is the name of the game and Shawn and his multi-talented band excel at everything they tackle. Most shows at Ground Control are for listening only, but in this special case, we'll have room for dancers. You really can't resist moving your feet to the SRB, so why not?

Tickets $10 in advance. $15 day of show
