Whimsy is an evening variety cabaret with a focus on the unconventional. We
usually have 8-10 acts in the two hour show, from bands to performance
artists, films, dance, poetry, wrestling, comedy…Whimsey is not open mic,
but its purpose is to give the oddest and most marginalized artists in the
community a voice and an audience so they can spread their weirdness and let
it be free and grow. We usually throw in a popular local band or two as
well.

Levitation caused by hidden impulses manifests itself musically
by allowing time to coexist with limitless space. Clamorous clusters

self-distruct within natural silences.
