waka winter classic

Polydypsia

A variety of music was soon to take over the crowd, many still filtering in with a slated start time of 9:00pm. I once again found myself at Knickerbockers in Lincoln, NE on a Friday night, February 15, 2008 to be exact. A local bluegrass group out of Lincoln by the name of Slim Pickens was first to take the stage. They played an array of covers including an excellent version "Kentucky Mandolin". After a 45-minute set, Polydypsia was set to take the stage next and did so in gracious fashion.

The Lincoln, NE Waka Winter Classic was on 1-24-08 at Knickerbockers. Although one of the bands did not show, the event was still a great success. It featured three great local acts all for the low, low price of $5. That admission fee also bought you a chance to vote on which band will make the trip down to Lawrence, KS for the Wakarusa Music and Camping Festival. Wakarusa will be held on June 5-8, 2008.

A new year here in the mid-west means cold weather. But that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of indoor activities going on that are bound to make you shake your ass. And that always warms you up, right? Here is a list of some of the shows going on in the heartland.
