High & Dry is a collaborative, multi-faceted summer event designed to explore and celebrate high desert life – the culture, the history, the mysticism, and our relationship to land, water, and the harsh environment. The event begins at the Holland Project (140 Vesta Street) and participants will journey to the Downtown Library, Lake Mansion and the Nevada Museum of Art on a bike ride lead by the Reno Bike Project. Each of the four stops to explore performance, interactive, or visual installations – all with a desert theme.

Meet at 6 pm at The Holland Project (140 Vesta Street in Reno). Those that would like to travel by car or other form of transportation are welcome to participate.

Please visit The Holland Project for more info and updates.

If you ask most people what Western music is you are likely to hear the response, Cowboys and Indians. 3hattrio has great respect for this music but they also think there is more to the West. Music is often identified with place, like the Delta and its blues or mountain music of Appalachia. In the case of the 3hattrio, inspiration comes from the deserts of southern Utah, thus, Desert Music of the Greater West. Join us for an evening of music that is spacious, atmospheric, mirage-like, spiced with old-time cowboy, classical, jazz, and Caribbean overtones.
