------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mojo Depot began some three decades ago when Jason Adams (drums), Tyndall Jackson (guitar and vocals), Rob Moore (vocals and guitar) and John “Johnny-B” Wright (bass and vocals) got together under the name The Loose Change, performing at clubs that included the White Water Tavern. After a few years, the band moved to the Bay Area and then to Los Angeles, where a debut CD, Phantom Train, had its beginnings. A new name emerged, Mojo Depot and the group traveled and wrote more music, which became the next CD, Crazy to Believe. For a time, the band was a coast-to-coast phenomenon, with Moore living in Berkeley, Calif., and Jackson attending the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Eventually, the two rejoined their Arkansas pals and began recording off-and-on in Arkansas City, where they could work in seclusion, away from the temptations of the big city of Little Rock. Like the “band of brothers” they consider themselves, Mojo Depot has opened shows for The Allman Brothers Band, The Neville Brothers, and The Cate Brothers. Along with original songs, Mojo Depot performs selected material from The Rolling Stones, The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers, Taj Mahal, and Robert Earl Keen. Mojo Depot offers a montage of musical styles reflecting a broad range of influences; the result is a great variety of flavorful music producing truly memorable audio and visual experiences. The band is made up of four-lifetime colleagues forming an intriguing core group, attracting an ever-changing lineup of special guests while encouraging contributions to the creative process. A liberal approach to live and recorded music promotes and ensures a unique happening, whenever Mojo performs. Mojo Depot delivers over twenty years of collaborative effort evoking one of the tightest and most professional rock & roll shows on the road today. After spending six years in Los Angeles, the band returned to its roots in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Noon Year's Eve

Museum of Discovery

Has it been a while since you heard that iconic countdown on the final day of the year? If you’re a parent of small children, staying up late to ring in the New Year can be just plain unfeasible. Or maybe you long for a more family-friendly affair. Well, don’t let the night owls have all the fun. Bring the kids out to the Museum of Discovery and join us as we ring in the “Noon Year” on Saturday, December 31. We’ll have kid-friendly activities from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and, of course, a whopping big countdown to the noon hour! Noon Year's Eve is included in regular museum admission or free for members.

For the first time this year, we'll offer a private countdown show for you to ring in the “Noon Year” like a VIS (very important scientist)! We’ve curated a private experience for families that will involve meeting an animal that does like staying up past midnight, oohing and aahing in a never-before-seen noon countdown science show and a sparkling cider toast! It will be from 11:30 - past noon and will be an additional $7 for members and non-members. Attendance is limited. Purchase tickets at https://sales.museumofdiscovery.org/Tickets.aspx?ttc=NY/TH&ad=12/31/2022&cal=https%3a%2f%2fsales.museumofdiscovery.org%3a443%2fcalendar.aspx (this covers your general admission and private show admission.)

New Year’s Day Brunch at Lost Forty

Lost Forty Brewing

DROP IT LIKE IT'S HOPS
Americans love celebrating the coming of the New Year by dropping things. In New York we drop the ball, Wisconsin drops a carp, North Carolinians drop a possum, and, in Mobile, Alabama, they drop the world’s largest Moon Pie…from 34 stories high. At Lost Forty we'll mark the passing of 2022 by dropping a new IPA and a couple of tasty brunch specials to kick off 2023!

Join us from 9 am - 9 pm to usher in a new year of community, family, food, and of course - beer. We'll be featuring a pilot batch of a brand new IPA called MOON JELLY, hopped with Galaxy, Simcoe, Columbus, and Citra, with juicy flavors of papaya, melon, kiwi, and orange marmalade. It's out of this world.

Stay tuned for menu updates! Cheers to ringing in the new year with friends, food, and beer!
