Cash only, no credit cards accepted at the Opera House tonight.

Fueled by a passion for musical storytelling, the multi-instrument quartet Invoke dodges any attempt at genre classification. At Jukebox Salon, you’ll hear inventive arrangements of tunes spanning half a century of popular music—classic rock to K-pop, smash hits and deep cuts—artfully blended with bluegrass, jazz, and minimalism. This don’t-miss event combines virtuoso intimacy with electrifying musicality, along with complimentary refreshments and signature drinks in one of East Bayside’s most vibrant craft distilleries.
