After having to press mute on live music for more than a year, Cactus Club is ready to hit play yet again.

The beloved Bay View bar and music hall will host its first live show: a hybrid concert/film screening featuring Johanna Rose performing with an ensemble of SistaStrings and Ruth B8r Ginsberg members followed by showings of "Loon Lake," a three-part miniseries starring Rose as a musician taking to an off-the-grid lakehouse in the midst of the pandemic. 

The free, all-ages show and screening will take place on Friday, April 30 at Cactus Club's outdoor backyard space. Rose and the ensemble will take the stage at 7:30 p.m., with "Loon Lake" playing on a loop after the musical performance from 8:30 until 10 p.m.

For more information on the concert – and to stay up to date on any future shows – visit Cactus Club's website. And to continue supporting Cactus Club as its stage reemerges from the pandemic, consider becoming a Patreon member or buying something from the venue's online shop – or drop by to grab a drink on its outdoor picnic tables. The Bay View hotspot is open this spring on Thursdays from 4 until 8 p.m., Fridays from 4 to 10 p.m., Saturdays from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m.
