Orpheum Theater to host music groups Feb. 7, 8

HANCOCK -- This Winter Carnival, the Orpheum Theater in Hancock presents two great shows! (And two completely different shows, too!) TONIGHT, Thursday, Feb. 7,  is Killer Kong and Friday, Feb. 8, is Chasin' Steel!

Tonight (Thursday) the Orpheum presents Killer Kong with special guests The Rest.  Killer Kong is extremely heavy modern Blues with touches of Black Sabbath, The Black Keys and the White Stripes. The Rest are from Houghton/Hancock and are similar, though a little more traditional in sound. Music starts around 8 p.m. and $5 gets you in.

Friday's show is Chasin' Steel, the UP's own top tier, nationally touring Bluegrass artists!  This show has been a long time coming and is the next installment in the Orpheum's Traditional Music series. Don't miss it!  Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and music starts about 8 p.m. $10 is the price for this one -- a steal for a band of this quality!

(And just as a little teaser...Seth and May will be here Feb 23!  Look for more info soon!)
