This show, entitled “I Don’t Think About You Anymore,” will explore themes of letting go — from memories of a past love and the old versions of ourselves we can be afraid to grow away from to all the anxieties we’ve developed over this past year and a half of confusion and bewilderment. Aaron will be debuting several new songs, including tracks from his upcoming three-song EP “Sunrise,” set to release December 3. Come with something to leave behind.

Fire up the prayer chain and clutch your pearls, because Christmas is coming and so are The (blank) Dicks! After a long medical hiatus (we're not saying who, but someone had an "incident" at the bathhouse that required a full restringing of their guitar, if you know what I mean), your favorite queer country band is back for their first show under a new name, to be revealed for the first time at the show! They'll ruin your favorite holiday songs, unload some special gifts and guests from Santa's big ole sack, and make the yuletide gay, gay, gay, gay, gay. So gather up the family, tell them all to leave you alone and stay home for at least one night for the love of God, and then skip on down to Crosstown for the holiday show you deserve!

Due to rising Covid cases, Peter Bernstein’s January 11th performance in the Green Room at Crosstown Arts has been postponed. Crosstown Arts is issuing full refunds to ticket holders. Thank you for understanding!
