1st show of 2026!!

1st show of 2026 and already starting off grim!

We return to the red neon Black Cat Bar on Saturday, January 03 for a show of epic proportions.

Stay Strange welcomes esoteric banjo occultist Kelby Clark. Kelby plays a highly unique style of American Primitive, raga and outsider blues. For the Black Cat Bar show, Kelby will be performing on electric banjo.


Supporting Kelby will be folk doomer Esteban I Flores. Esteban uses his guitar like a cursed diving rod transmitting signals of venomous dissonance.


T Putnam Hill, back home to San Diego, will be on mysterious electronics. Otherworldly and forlorn. Investigating the ghosts in the machine.
