The true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden; heaven is a playground.

Scythian Concert
Looking for the perfect way to spend a Memorial Day weekend?
Treat yourself and your loved ones to an unforgettable evening with Scythian and Four Leaf Peat at the Bijou Theatre. You have to catch this live show to understand why The Carmel City Dispatch said of Scythian’s Merlefest performance: “[Scythian gives] no quarter in their quest to entertain and bring a joy to their music that gives it an irony-free, wide open feel of manic possibility. The playing is technically brilliant, but it is the energy that carries the day."
This is your chance to leave your stress and worries at the door and spend the night with two bands with long cultural memories.
Funds raised from the concert benefit Knoxville’s Classical Catholic school, the Chesterton Academy.
