Late Night Radio + Tripp St. w/ GurtyBeats
2025-05-02 18:00 - 23:00
Announcing – Late Night Radio NOCTURNE Tour is coming to The Music Yard on Friday, May 2nd, and this time he’s bringing Tripp St. and Gurtybeats with him!

Colorado-based electronic music producer Late Night Radio presents his latest album, “Pocket Full of Dreams” [Philos Records]. This introspective masterpiece skillfully blends reflective rhythms and soul-inspired hip-hop beats, exploring life’s pursuits and dreams. Alex Medellin (Late Night Radio) is a consistent force in the electronic music scene, crafting authentic sounds driven by passion. “Pocket Full of Dreams” reflects Medellin’s life experiences and the importance of vulnerability in art.

The album draws inspiration from energetic tour experiences and reflective studio sessions, offering a deep perspective. Medellin aimed to create music for himself, free from live show influences. Collaborators like Motifv, Poldoore, and Michal Menert enrich the album’s sonic tapestry and narrative. Each track tells a unique story, from evolving dreams to internal conflicts and the beauty of life.

Medellin’s personal struggle with self-worth and adaptation shines through the album. It’s a musical journal, reflecting his lifelong romance with music. “Pocket Full of Dreams” is an emotional, introspective journey for listeners, inviting them to embark on their own self-discovery.

In Medellin’s words: “Dream big and don’t give up. We all go through periods of self-doubt, but if you keep going, there’s always another peak after the valley, no matter how far away it seems.”

Dangermuffin w/ Kendall Street Company
2025-04-26 18:00 - 23:00
Get ready for a night of soulful sweet jam and good vibes with Dangeruffin and Kendall Street Company at The Music Yard on Saturday, April 26th! If Dangermuffin’s music could accomplish just one thing, it would be to heal. So don’t miss the opportunity to experience their unique blend of Americana, folk, and rock in the perfect outdoor setting.

Dangermuffin are storytellers. Casting images that are timeless yet novel, the band blends mindful lyrics with contemplative sounds, creating songs aimed at reinvigorating the soul. Having played festival stages and concert halls across the US and beyond, this seasoned outfit continues to share its music through live shows as well as online, where their streaming numbers have recently garnered exponential growth. The band’s far-reaching catalog is ripe with engaging, singable tracks that ask to be played on repeat.

Virginia’s Kendall Street Company are no strangers to having a wild time. The genre-fluid, eclectic rock ensemble has drawn varied comparisons to the dynamic jams of Umphrey’s McGee and Widespread Panic, songwriting of John Prine, experimental psychedelia of Pink Floyd, progressive jazz-infused rock of Frank Zappa, and off-color humor of Ween and They Might Be Giants. Including elements of crowd participation, off-the-cuff comedic bits, haphazard choreography, musical improvisation, and surprise musical guests, each Kendall Street Company concert is an experience unlike any other.
