New Year's Eve Surrealist Costume Party & Concert with Shadow In The Moon

We will have a costume contest with prizes and a parade heading uptown a block away for the Glass Town Countdown event.

About the band: Originating in the foothills of Southeast Ohio, Shadow in the Moon bridges the gap between pop and heavy grunge with blues and folk roots. The ethereal swirling vocals guide you on a journey through the dense forests and meandering rivers of Appalachia. The culmination of crisp tones and expressive overdriven electric guitar leads blend with dreamy cerebral notes of keyboard and synth.

We are in the DORA district. Alcoholic beverages are welcome.
