Aaron Johnson likes pinball machines, shortbread cookies, graphic novels, and skateboard competitions. However, Aaron is most likely to found at a poetry slam or rock show, smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee.

As a young teen, he worked at Arby's. It was here that he saw a lefthander chop off his thumb in a roast beef slicer. Being a lefty too, Aaron was permanently scarred for life and began writing and performing poetry.

Hey now!

We've got two very different shows coming up in the next seven days: Hot Buttered Rum and Misfits

Saturday Nov 14 An Evening With Hot Buttered Rum at the Orpheum. Initially formed as an acoustic string band, seven years of constant touring has transformed Hot Buttered Rum into a plugged-in, percussive powerhouse that wows critics and fans alike. Their left-coast rock reveals an access to jazz, country, and world music that few groups can match. While the band's music belies simple categorization, its songwriting and stage chemistry delights listeners at every turn. Doors at 7, show at 8. All Ages. Tix are only $12 advance/$15 day of.

Tuesday Nov 17 Misfits with Hour of the Wolf, Moonlight Howlers, and Awaken the Nightmare. Misfits are the original horror punk band. Original members Jerry Only and Robo play bass and drums, and guitar is covered by Dez Cadena, originally of Black Flag. Doors at 7, show at 8. Tix are $22 advance/$25 day of.

Also coming up soon:
12/2 Voodoo Glow Skulls with Fayuca @ Downtown Greenhouse (Behind Green Room)-All Ages
12/31 New Years Eve featuring Xtra Ticket w/ David Gans @ Orpheum-All Ages
1/17 John Gorka @ Coconino Center for the Arts-All Ages
2/15 Badfish, a Tribute to Sublime @ Orpheum-All Ages
4/23 Greg Brown @ Orpheum-All Ages

Find more info @ www.greenhouseproductions.net

See you at the show!

Hey now!

This Saturday night we are throwing a Halloween Party at the Orpheum with Yin Yang and Zen Some. Sedona superfreaks Yin Yang and Zen Some know how to throw a party. Its actually impossible to convince them not to dress up in costumes during the 364 days of the year that are not Halloween. That's why we thought that they would be a particularly appropriate band to play Halloween. YYZS plays a an eclectic mix of music, focusing on 80s songs that don't suck (think New Wave, Talking Heads, etc...). So put on your freakiest outfit and come down to the Orpheum to dance. Bwahahahahaha!

The show is all ages, ONLY $5, and starts at 9pm.

Also coming up soon:
11/4 Minus the Bear with The Antlers and Twin Tiger @ Orpheum-All Ages
11/14 An Evening with Hot Buttered Rum @ Orpheum-All Ages (A GREENBUILD GREENSTREETS Event see www.usgbcaz.org/northern/greenstreets for more information. )
11/17 Misfits with Hour of the Wolf, Moonlight Howlers, and Awaken the Nightmare @ Orpheum-All Ages
12/2 Voodoo Glow Skulls with Fayuca @ Downtown Greenhouse-All Ages
1/17 John Gorka @ Coconino Center for the Arts-All Ages
2/15 Badfish, a Tribute to Sublime @ Orpheum-All Ages
4/23 Greg Brown @ Orpehum-All Ages

For more info visit us at www.greenhouseproductions.net

See you at the Show!
