Off Beat: Positively Reno’s biggest little fest starts Thursday
Well, it’s happened, Reno. You’ve got yourself a music festival. And not just a few artsy bands in a park, but a multiple-day-palooza.
Off Beat Arts & Music Festival will once again take over the city for three days starting November 8, showcasing dozens of venues, more than 100 performances from dozens of local acts and an unparalleled list of touring guests from big-shot towns like Los Angeles and Seattle.
The festivities start Thursday at The Saint, with Oakland’s Howlin Rain headlining. They hit the trifecta of things I have a soft spot in my heart for – bands from Oakland, ’70s rock jammers with a Built to Spill vibe and a balding dude in the spotlight. Mapache from LA and Reno’s Moondog Matinee will open the night.
