Straw Bale Gardening
2022-02-12 11:00 | Rail City Garden Center, 1720 Brierley Way, Sparks, NV, 89434
Learn how to garden using straw bales instead of traditional gardening methods! Fun and easy for the whole family.

About this event

Straw Bale Gardening is simply a different type of container gardening. The main difference is that the container is the straw bale itself and is held together with two or three strings. Once the straw inside the bale begins to decay the straw becomes “conditioned” compost that creates an extraordinary plant rooting environment. Getting the straw bales conditioned is an essential part of the process, and should be started two weeks prior to your target planting date wherever you are located. This gardening technique works well anywhere in the country or the world for that matter.

Martha Graham Dance Company will perform iconic Graham classics alongside a stunning new work by one of today’s top choreographers. The dancers of the Department of Theatre & Dance, School of the Arts at the University of Nevada, Reno will open the program with a special restaging of Graham’s first modernist masterpiece, ‘Heretic,’ from 1929.Then, the Company dancers take the stage with Graham’s joyous ode to love, ‘Diversion of Angels,’ which will be followed by one of her most powerful solos, ‘Immediate Tragedy.’ Reno audiences will be among the first to see ‘Scavengers’ by the much-in-demand choreographer Andrea Miller. This season premiere brings us four intimate duets that evoke our renewed appreciation of human connection post pandemic. ‘Scavengers’ also showcases the world-renown athleticism of the Graham dancers.The full Company closes the program with ‘Acts of Light,’ created by Graham in 1981 and performed in three sections. The first is a passionate duet titled ‘Conversation of Lovers’. The second, ‘Lament’, references Graham’s early modernist solo, ‘Lamentation,’ and the final section, ‘Ritual to the Sun,’ is a high-energy celebration of Graham’s famed dance language.

The Go-Go's
2022-03-25 19:00 | Grand Sierra Resort, 2500 E 2nd St, Reno, NV
Formed amid LA’s burgeoning punk and new wave scene in the late ’70s, the Go-Go’s got their start playing seminal venues like The Whiskey A Go Go and The Roxy. For their 1981 debut LP Beauty and the Beat, the band eschewed their early punk sound in favor of a more radio-friendly brand of power pop — with phenomenal results. The album peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, spawning the hit singles “Our Lips Are Sealed” and “We Got the Beat” and earning the girls the Best New Artist award at the 1982 Grammys. 1982 follow-up Vacation was a similar success, landing two more hits on the charts and going on to be certified Gold by the RIAA. Following an initial breakup in 1985, the band’s members embarked on various solo ventures, reuniting periodically over the years to record and tour. Back on the road for another highly anticipated tour, the Go-Go’s will bring their signature energy to venues around the country.

Bonnie Raitt
2022-03-30 19:00, 2022-03-30 20:00 | Grand Sierra Resort, 2500 E 2nd St, Reno, NV
Bluesy singer/songwriter Bonnie Raitt has worked long and hard for her multiple Grammy Awards, hit singles and chart-topping records. Since her 1971 eponymous debut, the California-born performer and long-time activist has steadily maintained a music career, albeit with definite peaks and valleys. The red-headed songstress, one of the only women of her time to play guitar using the bottleneck technique, unleashed seven albums in just nine years, though her big commercial break came with her 10th studio set, 1989’s “Nick of Time.” That 11-track collection, produced by Don Was, earned three Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year.
Not only has the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer tackled multiple U.S. tours and international runs, but she’s also a frequent participant in events of social activism, such as Farm Aid and Amnesty International concerts.
Raitt’s 16th full-length album and most recent studio release, “Slipstream,” hit retailers in 2012. Not only did ticket sales for the support tour soar, but Raitt also landed the best-selling blues album of the year and took home the Grammy for Best Americana Album.

Community Climb Night

Building interest and participation in the sport of climbing is a top priority for BaseCamp, the climbing gym located on the 2nd floor of the Whitney Peak Hotel in downtown Reno. As a result, BaseCamp is now hosting monthly “Community Climb” sessions, encouraging new climbers to give the sport a try.
On the last Thursday of every month from 6:30-7:30pm (the next Community Climb is Thursday, March 31), BaseCamp will open its doors to members and guests. Each member can bring one guest for free; new climbers can participate for a nominal fee of $10 per person, which includes staff-led instruction, gear rental, and a day pass to the gym.
“Climbing has so many positive benefits, in terms of physical and mental health,” said BaseCamp manager Brian Sweeney. “We want to lower the barriers to entry for new climbers and share our love of climbing with them, in the hopes of inspiring passion for the sport in others.”
