Thursday, June 27: We’re very sorry to announce the cancelation of Snack Pack’s concert on Saturday. We think they are great, and are very sorry for this last minute change. If you have purchased online tickets, they will be refunded.

Snack Pack is haulin’ in a big grab bag of genre flavors — some homemade and some store-bought! Always tasty, full of peace & love & harmony!

Snack Pack is four veteran musicians who’ve teamed up for this project. Their repertoire is pulled from a variety of sources, all carrying on the mission of peace, love, harmony, and fun, in a grab-bag fashion from a variety of genres. Original works, and others within the realms of rock & roll, hippie country, and cosmic jazz comprise our menu.
