Join us for a kick-off celebration of the 2026-27 Humanities on Tap (HoT) series at the Rambling House Music Bar. We will showcase our upcoming fall HoT events and other Humanities Institute activities, but we’re also putting on a show! Music will be provided by local rock band Fly Casual—featuring HI Director Ryan Skinner on drums! Come ready to listen, dance, socialize and get excited about this year’s programming at the Humanities Institute! Doors open at 5 pm, with music starting at 6.
After the kick-off event, we hope you’ll stick around for the late show, an EP release party with Post Pioneer, featuring Superluck and BeachKitty! The HoT event is free for all ages and open to the public, but you’ll need to buy a ticket for the late show if you choose to stay. The late show is from 9 to midnight. Tickets for the late show can be pre-purchased through Rambling House or at the door at 8 pm.
