Friday, January 8
Doors open at 6:00 p.m. Concert begins at 7:00 p.m.
This unusual program combines an original score by Devil Music Ensemble and the screening
of the 1922 silent film, “Big Stakes.” The classically trained musicians, Tim Nylander (drums,
percussion and analog synthesizer), Brendon Wood (guitars, lap steel and synthesizer) and
Jonah Rapino (electric violin, vibraphone and synthesizer), produce a truly unique sound to
accompany the western comedy – a true rarity from the silent era. In “Big Stakes,” J.B. Warner
stars as a Texas gentleman who falls for a Mexican girl and tries to win her from the Mexican
general, in a contest involving Mexican jumping beans. When his new love rejects him, he
returns home just in time to save his hometown girl from a Ku Klux Klan leader. Cash bar.
$10 / $8 for members / $5 student tickets available at the door. To purchase tickets, visit
