One of the films Dave will accompany is the 1922 silent short comedy The Electric House. In the film, Buster Keaton plays a botany student who is accidentally mistaken for an electrical engineer and gets hired to wire a rich man's home with an array of wild, time-saving gadgets. In the other movie, Bacon Grabbers, the novice repo men, Stan and Ollie, are sent to serve a summons to a tough customer who hasn't paid for a radio, as canines, a rifle, and a steamroller threaten to put an end to their ambitions. Just how hard is it to get the job done?

Tickets are $25.00 in advance through MyNorth Tickets or by reservation at 231-938-9300, and $30.00 at the door. For more information, visit musichouse.org.

Your ticket includes a reception with drinks and treats on our front deck from 6:00 – 6:45PM, prior to the concert.

A band dedicated to tributing CSNY is unheard of due to the difficulty in replicating the 3- and 4-part vocal harmonies that made the group international superstars. Marrakesh Express excels at reproducing CSNY's complex songs and cascading, layered harmonies, and takes the audience back to the late 1960s with energetic musicians who bring an authentic hippie vibe and visual to the stage.

Marrakesh Express has played to literally tens of thousands of appreciative fans, including headlining a Woodstock 40th Anniversary Tribute Concert. The music of CSNY has stood the test of time and fans of the classic rockers, as well as young people who are curious about “the 60s,” are anxious to venture out to hear it represented live.

Tickets can be purchased online or in-person at the Opera House Box Office
