We welcome Noble Hobo back to People's May 12th with Swamp Rats! Expect a night of excellently crafted high energy, Dark and gritty Bluegrass and Folk Punk!

Doors 5PM | Music 6PM | 21+
Presented by Mom&Pop Productions

Refreshingly honest and introspective, Noble Hobo (fronted by Skyler Jenkins) is a "one-man" band occasionally accompanied by a rotating collective of traveling musicians with roots in traditional folk, blues, old-time, and jazz music. As proponents of the folk tradition, Noble Hobo draws inspiration from years of rambling, train-hopping, hitchhiking and wandering around the US telling stories of love and loss; grief and acceptance; hopelessness, sorrow, and success through original music, traditional folk tunes, and spoken word

Swamp Rats takes intricate clawhammer banjo and blends it with a driving punk rhythm fronted by gritty & soothing harmonizing vocals. Some have said the music sounds like a type of haunted that makes them happy. Folk with an edge is what most people say about Florida's "Phantom" folk band Swamp Rats.

Dispatches and Daydreams
Artists: Craig Whitten and Mika Yamamoto
Opening and Gallery Walk, May 15, 6-9 p.m.
Artists’ Own Gallery, 518 Main St., Lafayette

Craig Whitten expands his well-received Airship Series into a large-scale, immersive
exhibition in collaboration with writer Mika Yamamoto. Born of an explorative impulse, this body of work pursues the imaginative potential of airships. This marks the beginning of the second collaboration between Whitten and Mika Yamamoto.

Dispatches and Daydreams is envisioned as a first step—an opening movement of a
longer journey. Whitten and Yamamoto’s core belief is to honor the organic process of
dialogue between image and text—where neither are prioritized. Viewers are also
welcomed into this ever-evolving conversation as co-creators of a better world. This exhibit featuring Craig’s and Mika’s creative collaboration. The opening is May 15, 6-9 p.m. and runs through July 11.
