CARSON CITY — Rusty Young by his own assessment, was born to play music. With half a century of performing, recording and touring with his band Poco, which he co-founded in 1968 with Jim Messina, Richie Furay, Randy Meisner and George Grantham, he’s made good use of his gift.

Here’s an events lineup of what's happening around the Carson City region for the 2019 Memorial Day weekend. More events will be added as information becomes available.

Friday, May 24

The Carson High School Chamber Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Brian Fox, traveled to the San Francisco Bay Area this weekend to participate in a regional music festival sponsored by Forum Music Festivals.

I operate in an interesting corner of the music landscape – I’m a guitar player and songwriter in a touring rock band (Hunter & The Dirty Jacks), I review albums for Tahoe Onstage, and I see 100+ shows per year in person. Between all of that, I’ve been able to observe the music scene from multiple angles – working musician, concertgoer, and consumer with a critical ear.

The talented and friendly Andrew Sullivan is coming to the Brewery Arts Center’s Performance Hall on May 25 at 7 p.m. to play a live show for Carson City. Come hear him play his great songs like “Where You Are,” and “Chickens in the Yard” and see why his fans are joining “The Chicken Club.”

Press Coffee and Waffles is stationed out of a vintage 1960s food cart. The cart in and of itself is eye catching, with rounded curves in an example of classic retro-futurism, which, said co-owner Aaron Gorton, is one of only 150 ever made.
