Doors at 6:30 Show at 7:00PM
Bring your dancing shoes!
With seven cross-country tours under their belt, it’s no wonder every song and performance by SF-based trio Thrown-Out Bones invokes a spirit of adventure. Lead singer/drummer powerhouse Liliana Urbain fronts the band with explosive and infectious joy, supported by her middle school bestie Nick Chang on gritty blues rock guitar and fellow high school band nerd Sam Miller on psychedelic and jam-centric bass. After 15+ years of playing together, the group has honed a unique, multi-genre musical language that slides from jazz to funk to rock topped with contemplative improvisation and soaring three-part harmonies. The lyrics themselves traverse surreal whirlwinds of fantasy, insanity, passion, and chaos rooted in a driving search for the truth of being human.
On stage, the synergy between the band is electric, manifesting their signature spontaneity. Whether it be improvising songs about a member of the audience or inviting them onstage to sing lead, Thrown-Out Bones rides the power of a live crowd and encourages fans to drive what each show looks and sounds like.
Their genre-bending “swanky rock” sound, experimental and immersive performance style, and full-time independent touring grit has taken them to over 40 states and onto shared bills with greats such as Cory Wong, The Wood Brothers, and The Fearless Flyers.

“Jeff Buckley meets Nina Simone with this soul of Sam Cooke, and the sparkle of Bjork.” - Peregrine Honig, Artist
Singer, harpist, and author Calvin Arsenia has built a reputation for turning the arts world on its head. Voted Kansas City's Best Musician 2018 - 2023 (The Pitch), and featured on Billboard.com, NPR.org, NEWNOWNEXT, Pride.com, and GRAMMY.com, Arsenia’s angelic stylings on voice and harp create rare harmonies and arrangements that look past the boundaries of his traditional gospel and classical upbringing. Known for his elaborate and ceremonious sensory concert experiences that merge jazz and electronic influences, “Calvin has consistently deliver(s) genre-bending (and gender-bending) shows that tackle sexuality, religion, and race in a stunningly unorthodox manner - somewhere between sacred and sacrilege." - Fally Afani.
The music is just one part of his prodigious performances, for Calvin believes the art is in crafting the perfect moment. His music is best served live, with sensational performances and high fashion from the visually striking performer who stands at 6’6”.
Alongside his best friend and co-host New York based comedian Justin Randall, Arsenia explores the ups and downs of being a queer person raised in the Evangelical Church in the 2020-2021 podcast We Were Christian Kids.
In 2021, Arsenia released a book of poems and stories called Every Good Boy Does Fine; Both a journey of individual healing and a call for action, these poems show that, with a little love and acceptance, anyone can flourish.
