Yard Dog 30th Anniversary Show

Purveyor of arts from fine to pop, Yard Dog celebrates 30 years showcasing sensational artists with a – you’re not gonna believe this – showcase of sensational artists. The party starts kicking on Friday with a show at Continental Club featuring strumming from rockers Ice Cold Singles, the post-punk-influenced Wild Seeds, and Jon Langford & the Far Forlorn, who also make an appearance at Saturday night’s opening reception for the Dog’s anniversary group show. They join the live music lineup alongside Rico Bell and Deano Waco, while on the walls artists like Jane Reichle, Krissy Teegerstrom, and Mikki Itzigsohn (among many others) get featured. There’ll also be an Eric Bellis retrospective, a Yard-Dog-through-the-years slideshow, folk art in the new trailer out back, and probably new memories being made as year 31 looms in the not-so-distant future. —2478583
