Live Music Saturday
August 29 from 6:00-8:00 p.m.
Featuring Riff Nidgets

Live Music Sunday Trailside
August 30 from 1:00-3:00 p.m.
Featuring Steven Knopp

Hello InGenius! Friends,

As summer winds down, we'll have live music outdoors on our Trailside Stage, weather permitting.

On Saturday, rain or shine, Riff Nidgets returns from 6:00-8:00 with their upbeat, original melodic rock with a 60s & 70s vibe. You won't be able to wipe the smile off your face enjoying this bunch of well-rehearsed musicians who clearly love what they do. If the weather isn't optimal, the performance will be inside.

On Sunday, if the weather permits, Steven Knopp returns from 1:00-3:00 to perform on the Trailside Stage with his dynamic, eclectic blend of jazz, blues, rock and world beat influences. If weather doesn't cooperate, the show will be cancelled. If in doubt, call 360-999-9216 to confirm that the show will happen.

Admission is free for both performances. Our cafe espresso bar serves the usual non-alcoholic iced and hot beverages, snacks and Left Bank Pastries.

If no parking is available in front of InGenius!, park in front of any other business in our strip that is closed. The Yelm City Park lot on Mosman Ave. is another option.

We hope to see you here!

Did you know at InGenius we repair and modify instruments ? 🎸
Below is Diego’s modification to an acoustic guitar. Here he added two sensors for louder percussion. Aside from modification requests, we offer restringing, setups, electronic components and cosmetic work.
