The Live Music Project turns three! Join us as we celebrate with an evening of improvisation – in space, and on the stage.

Former NASA astronaut Heidemarie Martha Stefanyshyn-Piper has flown on two Space Shuttle missions, STS-115 and STS-126, and has logged more than 30 hours in spacewalks. What happens when things don’t go according to plan in space? We’ll find out!

Then, in Flights of Fancy, Aaron Grad takes the stage with six beers, fourteen strings, and no idea what he’s going to play. Taste along with Aaron as each Naked City brew launches a fresh improvisation on his trusty electric theorbo, an instrument he designed and built himself (with inspiration from an oversized lute – video here).

Come early to hang out and grab a drink, dinner, and a table. Tickets $15 online, $20 at the door.
