DOORS OPEN: 900PM SHOW TIME: 930-1030PM POUR HOUSE COVID POLICY: * All shows are seated performances. * All attendees will be required to wear a mask while in the building. The only time your mask can come off is to take a drink, but then it must be put back on. * Tickets are sold by the table only. We have two top, three top and four top tables available for purchase. * All drink and band merchandise orders are placed from your table and will be brought to you. * We seat guests on a first come first serve basis, starting at the stage, moving towards the back of the venue. * All shows are a maximum of 60 minutes to reduce the amount of time patrons, bands and staff are in the venue together. * We will be taking down the names and contact info for every party who attends a concert. We ask that if you contract covid within 2 weeks after attending a concert to please let us know asap. We will alert all attendees that there was a potential exposure. * All concerts will be limited to 19% capacity. Current guidelines allow for 30% capacity, but to ensure proper social distancing and to guarantee a stage view for all attendees, we are only allowing 54 attendees per show. * Thorough deep cleaning procedures are in place for before, during and after each performance. * When you arrive at the venue, the manager on duty will escort you to your table. Please arrive with your entire party. You will not be seated until your entire group has arrived. * Please arrive on time. Think of this new show format of ours as going to a movie theatre. We need you and your group to be on time so we can start the show on time. * We ask that you only leave your table to go to use the restroom. If you need to step outside for a phone call, to chat with a friend, take a smoke break, whatever. Please take it to the sidewalk and do not congregate in the alley. * Our shows are seated shows. With that being said, live music naturally makes you want to get up and move to the music. We have limited space and a very specific seating layout to adhere to covid distancing guidelines. Feel free to stand at your seat and wiggle those hips and shake those booties, but we ask you stay in place and save those wild dance moves for another day. Just think of how hard we are going to dance when this is all over!? Baby steps. Please take them with us. * If you do not follow the procedures we have laid out, we will ask you to leave without a refund. * If you have any question, concerns or comments, please let us know. UNAKA PRONG: Over the past seven years, Unaka Prong has been sculpting a sonically unique identity. Hailing from Boone, NC, they borrow their name from the Unaka mountain range on the NC/TN border. Unaka Prong offers a fresh and memorable musical experience that many fans have described as a melding between prog rock groups like King Crimson, jazz funk groups like Soulive, and psychedelic jam rock groups like Phish. Combining odd meters, funky grooves, and earnest lyricism, their latest release, 'Salinity Now!', reflects the group honing in their songwriting with each stylistic direction. Recently the band has been busy touring the east coast performing at music festivals and clubs alike supporting notable acts including Tauk, Mungion, Moon Taxi, Toubab Krewe, Vintage Pistol, Jonathon Scales Fourchestra, and Dumpstaphunk. PRESS REVIEWS “There are only five members in Boone, North Carolina’s Unaka Prong, but that doesn’t put it at a disadvantage when it comes to intrepid energy. In chasing tangents of jam-rock, jazz-fusion and funk out into the restless improvisational ether, the band has the textural acumen and knack for pleasant yet refreshingly askew melodies and grooves to make many a Dead hater rethink some things.” -Jordan Lawrence, Free Times “Great, genre-bending band out of Boone with a range of musical tastes that take experimental journeys in which progressive and jam rock collide. New album “Salinity Now!” is wonderfully all over the place, from funk rock explosions to spare, slow numbers.” -Brian Tucker, The Wilmington Star “...a tight-knit live band.” -Dolan Reynolds, The Poke Around "I am so into this band from Boone, North Carolina! Their album, Margot, easily made my top ten of regional faves for 2016. Proggy, jazzy, and all-around fabulous." -WNCW 88.7's "Local Color" via Tumblr “Adult Contemporary” is an adventure to listen too, and there is never a dull moment. The musicianship is incredibly tight, showcasing the true, raw talent each band member possesses. When all of the genres and individual influences are working together, it’s something special....People often associate jam bands with four-hour set lists and overly long guitar solos, but a local band proves on its sophomore album that jams become much more interesting when you infuse elements of jazz, rock, reggae, funk — and well — just about everything you can imagine." -Brian Miller, The Mountain Times
