DEVOTCHKA PERFORMS MARCH 30

A cross-pollination of numerous influences including cabaret, spaghetti Westerns, norteño, punk and the immigrant dance music of Eastern Europe, Colorado-based quartet DeVotchKa will be in Fallon at the Oats Park Arts Center’s Barkley Theater for a March 30 performance.

Formed in Denver by multi-instrumentalists Nick Urata (vocals, guitar, trumpet), Tom Hagerman (violin, accordion), Jeanie Schroder (sousaphone, bass) and percussionist Shawn King, they emerged as unlikely indie heroes in the mid-2000s infusing modern indie music with a global flavor.

The box office, Art Bar and galleries open at 6 p.m. Tickers are members $17, non-members $20 and youth and students with valid student identification, $10.

Tickets are available by calling the Churchill Arts Center (775-423-1440) or emailing info@churchillarts.org
