Join us at The Ney as we amp things up with a late afternoon performance by Denton’s very own, Brave Combo on Saturday, May 21, 2022! The show will start at 4 pm outside on the north side of the grounds. Visitors can either grab a blanket and enjoy the music under a canopy of live oaks or join the rollicking crowd on the dance floor. This will be the perfect way to celebrate the return of live music events and get a taste of what’s to come at our annual Polkapocalypse on Sunday, October 30, 2022.
