KOSU Community Calendar

Colony House’s fifth studio album, 77, is both a sonic departure and a spiritual arrival, a retro-futurist meditation on eternity, nostalgia, and the invisible threads that hold us together. Steeped in the aesthetics of 1990s sound, 77 finds the Tennessee-based four-piece—brothers Caleb and Will Chapman, alongside Scott Mills and Parke Cottrell—reaching beyond what can be seen, touched, or even easily explained.

Dope Poetry Night at the Ice Event Center Bar and Grill is every Wednesday night, hosted by PraVurb, J. Wiggins, and DJ D. Chappell.
Show starts at 7:30 pm; Sign-ups begin at 7 pm, and the show begins at 8 pm. First 20 poets.

Come experience a place where you can be unapologetically you, a place where your voice and presence matter, a place where you’re accepted and loved, where smiles, laughter, thoughts, and feelings are shared, and it’s all free.
