The Empire Arts Center presents:
The Music Box Series
Come check out our new all ages, all genres music series featuring local musicians! Located in our Studio E venue, our mission is to bring together local musicians and provide a space to be heard, collaborate, and form new creative projects. Local bands and solo artists will each perform a 30 minute set to be followed by an open jam session at the end of the show.

The band, made up of Ryan Avdem and Joe Gemmill, are based out of Thompson, ND and have played all over the Grand Cities area, including the Greenway Takeover Festival and the North Dakota Museum of Art Summer Concert Series. The band is also a regular performer at Half Brothers Brewing Company in Grand Forks, ND.
