Diego Garcia
Sun. November 23, 2025 | 8:00pm | Haybarn Theatre
Doors 4:00pm, music at 5:00pm
While described by the press as a “fire breathing guitar hero” or nicknamed “Spain’s King of Twang” by Guitar Player, 2013 Latin Grammy winner Diego García goes for a more poetic phrasing to define himself: a 3-in-1 guitarist deeply in love with his instruments – which he secretly calls “his ladies”. Renowned for his fingerpicking technique, incredible versatility and distinctive ‘twang’ sound, his music is an unusual fusion of classical Spanish guitar, Latin rhythms, country, rockabilly, jazz…and even surf music.

Doors 7:30pm, Show at 8:00pm
Wheelz of Steel is an interactive musical game show. Ten professional musicians collaborate and compete and in the process create a hilarious mash-up of well known songs in a wild variety of genres. The audience chooses the genres and the famous rock bands they want to hear. The Wheelz of Steel choose which combinations come up, and the musicians choose which song. They have ten minutes to plan and play a mashed up masterwork. The audience scores the effort, and the Wheelz are spun again. Points are tallied and the playaz are shuffled into new band configurations. Only one can win. Who will it be?

Damir Imamovic
Fri. October 3, 2025 | Haybarn Theatre
Doors 7:00pm, Show at 8:00pm
Born to a family of bards in Sarajevo, Damir's immersion in the world of Balkan music was, perhaps, inevitable given that his grandfather Zaim was one of the most renowned folk and sevdalinka musicians of mid-20th century Yugoslavia.Sevdah is a richly evocative Bosnian word, meaning pining or a longing (for a loved one, a place, a time) that is both joyous and painful, being the main theme of sevdalinka lyrics - comparable to Portuguese fado, Greek rembetika or French chanson in its dramatic narratives. Sevdalinka originated during the Ottoman period in Bosnia and Herzegovina and was influenced by the music of the Sephardic Jewish and Roma communities, as well as the music of the Ottoman Empire.
