Events Roundup
April 2, 2026
This week, we're highlighting an event pick by Taproot co-founder, Karen Unland. Karen recommends The Aviary's 10 Year Anniversary: Saturday Night Show, which will feature Arlo Maverick, Hydracat, Bridgeland, Misfortune Tellers, Haidee, Farhad Khosravi, and Dylan Ella.
The Aviary's 10 Year Anniversary: Saturday Night Show
📅 Saturday, April 4 5:30 PM
📍 The Aviary
Featuring Arlo Maverick, Hydracat, Bridgeland, Misfortune Tellers, Haidee, Farhad Khosravi & Dylan Ella.
Here's what Karen had to say:
"After all The Aviary has been through, it's wonderful to see it alive and ready to celebrate its 10th anniversary this Easter long weekend — rising again, if you will (forgive me). I'm recommending Saturday night as I have a soft spot for Dylan Ella, but there are shows on April 2 and 3, too, and all of the lineups are fabulous."
