Choose a member or nonmember level ticket. ONLY Members of Contemporary Art Center may purchase member level tickets. A member purchasing tickets on behalf of a nonmember must choose a nonmember ticket. A ‘Friend’ membership is for an individual, entitling only that individual to receive a discount. A ‘Family’ membership would entitle the individual and members of their household (defined as a spouse and any children under 16 years of age living at the same address) to receive a discount. Therefore, buying member level tickets for friends is not included, even if you obtain a membership.


Water and pop for $1.00 is offered at the bar. Attendees may bring their own food and drink or bring in food and drink from the Rhythm Kitchen.

About the Band:

Join Nathan Taylor and Friends for an evening of feel-good music. Enjoy classic roots songs, vintage blues of the delta, jazz of early New Orleans and some great originals that fit right in with the old styles. You'll want to dance to the tasty tunes these young guys put together with Matt Buczko on accordion, Tom Stoner on trumpet, Jim Curless on saxophone, Andy Crawford on stand-up bass and Jason Brannon on drums as Nathan Taylor leads the group singing while playing the guitar and harmonica. Their music will take you back to a simpler time in New Orleans. You don’t want to miss this!
