Hey, Lady! (A Tribute to The B-52s) | Princess and the Evolution (A Tribute to Prince) | Material Girl (A Tribute to Madonna)
2026-03-07 20:00 | Lulu’s Downtown, 32 S. Tejon Street, Colorado Springs, CO, 80903, United States
Hey, Lady! is a tribute to the B-52s that focuses on feel, groove, and precision rather than nostalgia-for-nostalgia’s sake. The band leans into what made the B-52s enduring in the first place: tight rhythms, deadpan vocals, surf-punk guitars, and songs that somehow sound both playful and slightly strange.
Rather than impersonation, Hey Lady treats the material with respect and restraint — keeping arrangements sharp, tempos honest, and performances rooted in the music’s original spirit. The result is a set that feels lively without being cartoonish, familiar without feeling recycled.
Built for dance floors, not costumes, Hey Lady plays the B-52s the way they were meant to be heard: loud enough to move people, loose enough to breathe, and smart enough to last.

St.Paddy's Day Sports Expo

The Expo is more than just packet pick-up — it’s a chance to connect directly with a crowd that values health, movement, and community. Runners and participants will be on-site to pick up their shirts and race materials, but they’ll also be spending time exploring local businesses and organizations that support fitness, wellness, and the outdoors.
For participants who prefer to register in person, the Expo is the place to do it. A registration station will be available for last-minute sign-ups, and participants who register on-site will still receive their event shirt. This creates steady foot traffic and strong engagement throughout the event.

Since forming in Omaha in 2017, Ingrid Howell (Vocals, Bass), Cole Kempcke (Guitar), Connor Paintin (Guitar, Keys), and Jesse White (Drums, Vocals) have captivated audiences with performances that seamlessly blend theatrical simplicity and psychological depth. Rooted in candid reflection and unflinching honesty, their music forges a sound unmistakably their own.
The band navigates the tension between chaos and clarity—where raw emotion collides with deliberate musical architecture. Their indie-rock palette is driven by vocals that ache and soar, guitar lines that shimmer and snarl, and rhythmic shifts that mirror the turbulence of inner life. From delicate textures to cathartic crescendos, their arrangements are intentionally dynamic—designed not just to be heard, but felt. It’s music that doesn’t flinch, that dares to be unpolished, and that turns self-exploration into a shared, full-body experience. Bad Self Portraits champion the act of embracing discomfort as a path to growth, courageously spotlighting life’s messiest truths. Their songs resonate like emotional mirrorballs—inviting listeners to shed pretense and revel in the messy, magnificent truth of being human.
