Squirrel Nut Zippers 

February 5 I 7pm to 10pm I Songbirds

The Squirrel Nut Zippers began their musical journey in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, in the mid-1990s, as a musician’s escape from the cookie-cutter world of modern rock radio at the time. Jimbo Mathus along with his wife Katherine Whalen and drummer Chris Phillips formed the band as a casual musical foray playing for friends and family around town. It wasn’t long before the band (which had grown in size) developed a reputation for pioneering a quirky mix of jazz chords, folk music, and punk rock leanings and attracted a national audience. 

Doors at 6:00 PM, Show at 7:00 PM. 
Standing Show 

Price: General Admission Advanced: $40
