The Capitol StepsFriday, January 18, 2019 8:00pm, MMCC AuditoriumAlways fresh and crispy - right from the headlines! The Capitol Steps have earned a reputation for non-stop laughs as this troupe who began as a group of Senate staffers sets out to satirize the very people and places that employed them. With song parodies and skits, which convey a special brand of satirical humor, The Capitol Steps tackle both sides of the political spectrum and all things equally foolish. What more would you expect from the group that puts the “MOCK” in Democracy!

The Devon Allman Project with special guest Duane BettsWednesday, October 10, 2018 8:00pm, MMCC AuditoriumThe Devon Allman Project is a six-piece band featuring two percussionists, John Lum and R. Scott Bryan (Sheryl Crow), bassist Justin Corgan, guitarist Jackson Stokes, and a Hammond B3 player, Nicholas David. Duane Betts opens the set using his go-to guitar player, Johnny Stachela, and Devon’s rhythm section. The Devon Allman Project follows with songs from Honeytribe, Royal Southern Brotherhood, and The Devon Allman Band. The night closes with Allman Brothers tunes and other classics. “… well-crafted, more reflective than fiery, and soulful.” - USA Today
