Hot Summer Nights – Montopolis

The Ector Theatre 500 N. Texas, Odessa, TX, United States

Montopolis is an indie chamber music group from Austin, Texas that performs the works of composer Justin Sherburn. Their music folds country and folk idioms into modern classical arrangements with inventive instrumentation to create "stunning and transcendent" (Austin Chronicle) concerts. Their programs are audience-engaging, multi-media events that combine live music with video and interactive story telling. https://www.montopolismusic.com June 10th | 8-10PM| The Ector Theatre No ticket required. Doors open at 7PM.

Hot Summer Nights – White Ghost Shivers

The Ector Theatre 500 N. Texas, Odessa, TX, United States

Peeling the faces off the unsuspecting since 1999, we revel in string-band music from the 20s and 30s, mixing early jazz, hokum, vaudeville, ragtime, western swing and hillbilly, yet unleashing the gutterous underbelly of a pseudo-rock world gone wrong. YEE HAW! Imagine a smorgasbord of Cab Calloway, circus sideshow, KISS, cabaret, Hee Haw and Robert Johnson served up at Andy Kaufman's bat-mitzvah. A joyous mixture of the absurd and sublime, the five-piece ensemble gracefully blends a musical amalgam of Hokum Blues, Hillbilly Swing, Country and Hot Jazz. https://www.whiteghostshivers.com June 17th | 8-10PM | The Ector Theatre No ticket required.
