($20-$30 tickets + DICE fees | 6:30pm & 8:30pm sets) Returning for an encore performance, Grooves Trio takes a musical journey through the ragtime and early jazz traditions that helped shape the sound of American popular music. From the syncopated rhythms of ragtime to the emerging language of early jazz, the trio explores the composers, songs, and styles that laid the foundation for generations of American music.
Blending historical repertoire with the energy and spontaneity of live performance, Grooves Trio brings this pivotal era to life with a program that celebrates the roots of jazz, the evolution of the American groove, and the enduring influence of these early innovators.
Brian Holland (piano) Steve Pikal (bass) Danny Coots (drums)
“Exciting, exhilarating, and exhausting!” is probably the best (and most alliterative) way to describe this mighty trio. It began with Danny Coots and Brian Holland getting together after performing individually on the Jazz and Ragtime circuits honing their skills on drums and piano, respectively. Since joining forces, they’ve been on a mission to introduce audiences all over the world to their style of music and fun. With a delightful mix of jazz, blues, stride, boogie, pop, and ragtime, Holland & Coots have created something for every taste. Then the duo added bassist Steve Pikal and created Groovus, which made their performances even more fun than before – and, yes, it’s possible!

W/ Practically People & Kaity
Born Without Bones has always been a band that didn’t quite fit in. While rooted in the Massachusetts DIY punk scene, they’ve always pulled from a wide range of influences. Traces of big guitars and even bigger hooks of ‘90s alternative mixed with the storytelling and subdued tones of heartland singer-songwriters, culminate in a sound that is distinctly their own. Born Without Bones’ emphasis on crafting pop hooks sets them apart from most of their punk scene peers. The band has released four full lengths, Say Hello (2010), Baby (2013), Young At The Bend (2017) and Dancer (2022).
The band formed in 2010 as a solo project by singer and guitarist Scott Ayotte. After the release of their debut LP “Say Hello,” The band self released their sophomore record, “Baby” in 2013 and began touring the country in earnest. After a few years on the road the band released their third record, “Young At The Bend” on their own imprint, Devil You Know Records. In 2021, they signed to Pure Noise Records and simultaneously released the “Pictures Of The Sun EP”, a collection of re-recorded and reimagined favorites from the band’s catalog like “Baby” and “Falling Asleep.” Their fourth full length album, “Dancer” was released the following year. In 2023, the band embarked on a 23 date US tour to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of their sophomore album “Baby.”
Born Without Bones is Scott Ayotte (vocals, guitar), Jonathan Brucato (guitar), Sam Checkoway (drums) and Ryan McKenna (bass).

– Fridays at 6pm
– Run Time: 30 minutes
Adults $15 | Children $10
For over a century, the Hotel Congress has stood at the heart of Tucson, a living witness to the city’s history—and to those who refuse to leave it behind. Built in 1919, the hotel was designed for travelers stepping off the Southern Pacific line, with guest rooms, a café, a beauty shop, a barber, and the now-famous Tap Room bar. Yet beneath the grandeur of its architecture lies something far older: the land itself has been continuously inhabited for thousands of years, making Tucson one of North America’s oldest, and most haunted, living communities.
On this 30-minute walking tour, you’ll be let in on the hotel’s best-kept secrets. Meet the lace-shrouded lady of the staircase, drifting through the lobby trailing the faint scent of roses; the Victorian Gentleman in Room 214, quietly surveying the plaza in seersucker and top hat; the Locksmith’s Apprentice, tinkering at unseen locks; Vince, the butter-knife handyman, still tending to his work decades after his passing; and the Lady in White, whose presence has startled more than a few male guests. You’ll even hear the story of infamous bank robber John Dillinger, who passed through Hotel Congress in 1934 before a fire exposed his gang’s presence and led to his capture—without a single shot fired.
The tour wraps up in the rarely seen séance room, a space of quiet reflection, lingering echoes, and centuries of footsteps—perfect for anyone curious enough to step just a little closer to the unexplained. It’s more than a ghost tour; it’s a backstage pass to a living portrait of Hotel Congress, where history, humanity, and spirits mingle in plain sight.
Please note: the elevator was destroyed in the famous 1934 fire—guests must climb one flight of stairs to reach the haunted rooms.
