Where: 12 Galaxies

Jason Webley, Corn Mo, Duckmandu, and Geoff Berner, with special guests in each town. Doors open at 8:00PM. This is a 21+ show. Tickets: http://12galaxies.inticketing.com/evinfo.php?eventid=17580 Corn Mo (New York, NY) http://www.cornmo.com/ Corn Mo uses this quirky soundscape to compose mini-anthems, heroic passages and chaotic polkas. If his spiritual father is Freddie Mercury, then his spiritual uncle is Tiny Tim. Jason Webley (Seattle, WA) http://www.jasonwebley.com/ Seattle’s Jason Webley is a consummate performer. He appears like a back alley prophet in layers of baggy clothes, a trench coat and an old porkpie hat; he leaps onto stages, window ledges and bartops, feverishly pumping the bellows of his accordion and stomping out the beat while roaring and whispering in his passionate, gravelly baritone. His music - a mix of gypsy, folk and punk - traverses age and social background, drawing grandparents, children, punks, drunks, and lovers into the fold. He likes to sing about death, carousing, and vegetables. Duckmandu (Oakland, CA) http://www.duckmandu.com/ Duckmandu (aka Aaron Seeman), accordionist, pianist, and old school punk, does an impressive Jello Biafra imitation, which he will treat you to tonight, as well as familiar songs of other genres that have never occurred to you to be performed on accordion. Geoff Berner (Vancouver, BC) http://www.geoffberner.com/ It would be tempting to paint Berner as a kind of klezmer rebel, but he maintains that he is working firmly in the true tradition. “When we went to Romania, we found musicians who are masterful, but can also play so loud and passionately that pitch and meter don’t matter. And the words in the songs are full of drinking, politics and sex. That’s my kind of tradition.

The Sea and Cake are back with "Everybody", the band's first full length in just over four years. The record finds the band continuing to perfect their singular brand of dreamlike, pop music that sounds delicately handcrafted, yet effortless all the same. Sheets of glowing guitar tones skip along propulsive percussion underscored by gently instrospecitve bass lines, all adorned by breathlessly delivered lines of lyrical poetry. As always, the band is made up of Sam Prekop (guitar and vocals), Archer Prewitt (guitar), John McEntire (drums) and Erik Claridge (bass). 18 & over. www.theseaandcake.com Friday, May 18 The Sea and Cake Doors at 8 p.m. Show at 9 p.m. Tickets are $20. 18 & over are welcome

When can I retire? I feel pinched financially. How can I start investing or saving so I have enough money to make ends meet? What should I pay off first - student loans, credit cards, my house, or my car? WealthCamp is YOUR conference. It is your questions and participation that will make or break this conference. Even better - you will be able to help design and participate in interactive workshops in the afternoon. You will become part of a community passionate about giving a voice to a topic that has been so taboo in our society -- money. Prepare for a fun-filled, energizing day!
