Popular music often glamorizes wealth or highlights the struggle to overcome financial hardship. Join the Lakeside Pride Jazz Orchestra as we explore these themes, performing Depression-era big band jazz, ’70s funk, and modern pop hits—all with an LGBTQ twist!

Whatever happened to that one person who sang that one song? Historically, very little. But we do love our One Hit Wonders! So much so - it’s the theme of our April Cabaret at Sidetrack! Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 19, 2025, and join us at @sidetrackbar.bsky.social! Doors open at 1 pm

@sidetrackbar.bsky.social’s main bar, Wilde Cabaret kicks off 2025 with a show looking back and remembering the past. Reflections is going to be a blast, giving our Wildelings a chance to revisit their childhood dreams, reminisce about the good old days, and maybe even rediscover some old beliefs.

What are some of your favorite band pieces you’ve played with any ensembles in the past?
