1PRETTYRICKY'S Most Underrated Events in the Area

Theatre B Productions

“Any of the productions put on by Theatre B are worth attending. They host off-beat plays that will invoke emotion and get you talking.”

2.

Comedy In The Cellar

“The Comedy in the Cellar events at Front Street Taproom are comedy gold! They book regional and national acts, give shine to our local comedians, and these nights are side-splittingly funny.”

3.

Fargo Food Truck Festival

“The Fargo Food Truck Festival gets bigger and bigger each year because we have new trucks popping up in our region all the time. There are so many different types of food available, so I love sampling a little something from each truck.”

4.

Fm Derby Girls

“If you love sports and hard-hitting action, our FM Derby Girls are fantastic and I love attending their bouts during the season. Fun for the whole family, they have a beer garden in the rink, and it is very fast-paced.”

WHAT'S UP? STARS & SOUNDS

“Check out “What’s Up? Stars & Sounds” hosted by me and the MSUM Planetarium. It is a 60-minute show hosted on the evening of the First Tuesday of the month during the Fall & Spring semesters. It combines the wonder of the night sky with future beats to set the mood for the journey!”

Q. What about our area's music scene attracted you to living in Fargo?

A: Fargo has an incredible variety of music, with a growing diversity of genres. We have local music artists and DJs that play country, hiphop, folk, jazz, K-Pop, metal, and much more. As a DJ, I am always listening for artists who may not be on my radar, no matter the genre, because you never know when their music is going to be a perfect accompaniment for your event!

Q. Where do you believe Fargo’s music scene is heading?

A: Our music scene is flourishing, with solo musicians, bands, producers, and DJs playing more public shows than ever before. Promoters and artists themselves are hosting shows at venues across the region, and I think this is possible because our culture is looking to support more metal, alternative, and electronic music. Post-pandemic has certainly peaked more interest in live music across all genres.

Q. What's the most "out there" event you've DJ'd?

A:

In partnership with Sound Engagement, we held a “silent disco,” which was part of a fundraising event for Choice Bank last fall. It was awesome!

My buddy Zach Anderson played the old school music on the Blue channel and I played the new school music on the Red channel, so people could choose which channel they wanted to listen to in their headphones. There were no speakers; all the music was played from their headphones and it was the loudest party with the quietest dance floor ever!
