Casper Happenings (11/15/24): Fall Craft Fair, Mustache Show and more

CASPER, Wyo. — Today’s early-morning clouds should dissipate, leaving sunny skies and a high of 55. That’s just warm enough to venture out and about into town to see what’s going on.

Here’s a sample of events scheduled to take place today.

A Band Named Sue

Wyoming-based A Band Named Sue delivers original compositions with lyrics and driving rhythms that immediately connect with audience members.

Suzanna Morrison, band lead and songwriter, has been writing and playing music for decades, bringing soulful vocals and guitar arrangements with an Americana flare. On harmonica and percussion, Jimmy Harper is a crowd favorite with his melodic presentation of harmonica solos and distinct acoustic percussion techniques. Washboard, unbeatable talent, and suitcase kick in hand, Dale Krasovetz, drummer and lead percussionist, shifts seamlessly through song styles, driving the beat without missing a step. Round this band out with the talents and groove of the great Dale Bohren on bass and the magic happens.

Completing their first band album, released in May 2024, their music can be found on various streaming platforms, as they are currently in the process of writing and recording a second album with an anticipated release date in spring 2025.

The band will be at The Lyric starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets at $5–$13 are available by clicking here.
