Well, time flies and you get busy. Unexpected things happen. You forget things. The other day it dawned on me that Lawn Chair Kings have been a band for over 25 years. We started back in 2000, and it's already like, 2026. So let's have a party! Our origins are in the streets of Durango, and we will celebrate at a newly refurbished venue in town, the American Legion, on Saturday, April 18. This will be a show for the people and all of our fans over the years. In true Fugazi style, there will be a $5 cover. Tips appreciated! Hope to see you at the party, and do your best not to forget:)
Cheers, Erik

The Under One Moon Arts Festival taking place at Tico Time River Resort on April 25-26, 2026 will bridge the gaps between ages, art forms, and communities in Durango music, dance, and theater performances as well visual arts exhibitions during our fundraising festival. This festival will serve as a fundraising event supporting youth access to the arts! We will be donating our proceeds to two organizations, The Genesis Inspiration Foundation- a nonprofit organization founded in 2018 with a mission to connect youth to the transformative power of the arts- as well as Durango Friends of the Arts- an all-volunteer organization raising funds for projects and programs whose goals provide educational and cultural benefits to the people of the greater Durango area. We will connect student artists from a range of art institutions locally including Stillwater Music, iamMusic, Prickly pear dance, Durango Dance, and Bella Dance with local and regional performing artists in an effort to join organizations and art forms in the area. This celebration will not only bring Durango citizens together, but will also provide a platform to help under-resourced youth access the arts both locally and in our nation. One hundred percent of the proceeds will be divided between the two organizations and donated!
