We are deeply saddened to learn that Reno Chamber Orchestra Violinist Emerita and dear friend, Marilyn Sevilla, has passed away.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the Nevada state capital, and there is no shortage of holiday events and activities to make the season bright.

Thanksgiving and Black Friday may be behind us, but Small Business Saturday is still ahead. Today consider shopping local to support small businesses in Carson City and surrounding communities. Small business Saturday deals can be found inside the Carson Mall, in downtown Carson City and at small businesses throughout the Nevada state capital.

The spirit of Christmas and Hanukkah come to life as the 18-piece Reno Jazz Orchestra (RJO) presents, “A World of Joy,” featuring holiday music from the U.S. to Brazil, Puerto Rico, Israel, Russia, Austria and back.

Joining the RJO is Pat Esters' Gospel Choir, starring vocalists Pat Esters, Lori Johnson, David Wells, and Caitlin Collins. The Reno Youth Jazz Orchestra will open the show at the Reno performances.

The first shows are Dec. 15 at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 16 at 2 p.m. at the Cargo Concert Hall at Whitney Peak Hotel in Reno.

The future of the Carson City summer outdoor concert series through the Brewery Arts Center comes down to votes, and today, Tuesday is the deadline to make them count.

The Levitt AMP Carson City Summer Concert Series has slipped to 11th place as of Monday night, which has made for a last minute plea from the BAC brass to make a citywide call out to bring the concert series back for a fourth season.

This weekend appears to have gone to the dogs — and cats — as Maddie's Pet Adoption Days continue Saturday at venues throughout the Carson City area.

The Levitt AMP Carson City Summer Concert Series is in jeopardy of not being funded for a fourth consecutive season, the Brewery Arts Center (BAC) has said, slipping to ninth place in online voting.

Take advantage of the extra daylight while it lasts. Saturday is the final day of the year for Daylight Savings Time. Be sure to "fall back" one hour on your clocks Saturday night into early Sunday when Standard Time takes over.

The Brewery Arts Center is now in the running to bring a 10 week live music series to Carson City during the summer of 2019.

It's parade day in Carson City, which means a host of Nevada Day activities throughout the state capital all day long.

Of course, the 80th annual Nevada Day Parade is the centerpiece of the Silver State's 154th birthday celebration.

Nevada Day and the big parade are just one week away, but first is the annual Carson City Ghost Walk this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in downtown Carson City.

Don’t miss an evening of classic big band music with the Reno Jazz Orchestra (RJO) directed by Doug Coomler.

Plan on two great nights in Midtown Reno Nov. 16-17 as the 17-piece RJO will present some of your favorite big band sounds of yesteryear by Sammy Nestico, who is best known for his arrangements for the Count Basie orchestra, and other legendary jazz musicians, composers, and educators Stan Kenton, Don Menza, Thad Jones and many others.

Doug Coomler has an accomplished career that includes performances with some of the finest musicians and singers in America.

Bob Weir, 71, threw his own birthday bash Tuesday night in the Biggest Little City in the World, opening a 19-concert tour at Reno’s Grand Sierra Resort and Casino with the Wolf Bros (Don Was and Jay Lane). Following a two-set, 16-song performance, the musicians delivered a fitting encore — “Touch of Grey.”

Posting a rehearsal photo on Facebook shortly before the show, Weir acknowledged fans’ support: “Thank you for all of the kind birthday wishes!” After the performance, he noted: “And just like that we’re off and running… Cheers to the biggest little city in the world!”

The thunderous roar of jet engines will rumble across the skies above Carson City and the Carson Valley this weekend as the famed U.S. Navy Blue Angels flight team headlines the 2018 Aviation Roundup at the Minden-Tahoe Airport.

Happy Friday Carson City! Today starts the sunny weekend ahead, with a high of 67 and cloudless skies.

On the books today is the Loud as Folk concert at the Brewery Arts Center, a tour of the Carson River, a morning walk of the newly opened Linear Ditch Trail, Moon Lectures, and more!

October in Northern Nevada means more than Nevada Day. There are also outhouse races, fall festivals and Oktoberfests; all three of which are happening this first weekend of October around the region.

SILVER CITY, Nev. — There will be a free event called “Remembering American Flat” this Saturday on the Comstock. The event includes three parts – a screening of a new documentary that covers the history of the American Flat mill from its inception in the 1920s to its demolition in 2014; a short lecture about the unique qualities of the mill by consulting architectural historian and industrial archaeologist Ron Reno, PhD; and a pop-up show with locals’ rare photos of the site.

Reno's "Loud as Folk" is a monthly music showcase featuring local songwriters and musicians. The "Runnin out of Daylight Tour" will have Carson City's Brewery Arts Center as one of its tour stops, which includes Nevada, California, Oregon, and Washington.

Saturday is recognized nationwide as National Ghost Hunting Day as well as Nevada Public Lands Day statewide. Odd as it may seem, the two can be combined at haunts around Nevada.

Friday night, just before the first days of fall, Carson Valley Inn Casino had added one last show to its summer concert series at TJ’s Corral. 38 Special came to our little Minden town to deliver all its hits in the sold-out venue.

Mother Nature and Father Time often don't agree here in Northern Nevada. While the calendar marks today as the official start to Fall, the weather still feels like summer.
