CHECK IT OUT!


• ENTER TO WIN FREE TICKETS to see G. Love and Special Sauce at the Crystal Ballroom on March 17!

G. Love is a genre-bending pioneer with a sound The New York Times described as "a new and urgent hybrid" and NPR called a "musical melting pot." He has a magnetic stage presence, and artfully balances his appreciation for the simple joys in life with his obligation to speak out for justice and equality. His performances are suitably riotous and rousing to match, with infectious call-and-response hooks and funky sing-along choruses at every turn. Get your tickets now or enter to win here!

Crystal Ballroom, 1332 W Burnside, Fri March 17, 9 pm, $30-$45, all ages


• ENTER TO WIN FREE TICKETS to see the HUMP! Film Festival at Revolution Hall on March 3-11!

Enter to win an experience you'll never forget: HUMP! is a one-of-a-kind festival of short, dirty films curated by the filthiest of them all, Dan Savage. The films shown at HUMP! are always surprising—they can be hardcore, soft-core, comedic, serious, animated, musical—but all HUMP! films are made by real people, for real people. HUMP! 2023 will be at Revolution Hall March 3-11 and feature ALL NEW FILMS. So get your tickets now or enter to win here!

Revolution Hall, 1300 SE Stark, March 3-11, various times, $25, 21+


GOOD LUCK, and all winners will be notified by Monday at noon. And check back next week for more FREE TIX from the Mercury!
