We’ve got a great spring ahead in the No Nap Happy Hour series at the Iron Horse.

First up, this Sunday (March 14), Gustafer Yellowgold arrives with his moving storybook.  Go here for some sampler videos, or just head to GustaferYellowgold.com.

Then next month — April 11 — Secret Agent 23 Skidoo returns to town with his positive hip-hop for the whole family.  Plus, we just added local hero Mister G as an opener!

Then we’ll finish up the spring on May 16 with Grammy nominee Brady Rymer’s roots rock.

Family four-packs are available for these shows (in advance only) for just $30 via IHEG.com.
