Musical guest: @workhorse_for_pennies :: feat. Kdog and Freyberger is an experimental band that fuses raw, improvisational energy with eclectic sonic textures. The duo, Kdog and Freyberger, crafts a dynamic soundscape that blurs the boundaries between punk, folk, and avant-garde noise. Known for their unconventional instrumentation and unpredictable live performances, they thrive on the tension between chaos and control. Their upcoming gig promises a visceral, immersive experience, blending guttural rhythms, layered loops, spontaneous lyricism, background noise, and echoes of terrazzo surfaces, hardscapes, and hard scales. For fans of bold, boundary-pushing music, @workhorse_for_pennies is a rare and electrifying act not to be missed, nor remembered.

Muncie Makers Market: It’s Winter, so the Muncie Makers Market is on hiatus for our sidewalk setup until warmer weather - but we still have a fun First Thursday planned! We will have many items from our local Growers & Makers for sale on Thursday, January 2nd from 5-8p at Cornerstone Center for the Arts!
