It’s part of our Parking Lot Party series—where we crank the volume, roll out the lights, and turn our corner of Carson City into the ultimate 5-star dive bar experience.

Grab a burger from Candy Burger, crack open something cold, and let Deception deliver the soundtrack to your Friday night.

🎶 Music. Burgers. Beer. Dive bar soul. This is The Tap Shack.

🎶 Kolumbo – Live on The Tap Shack Patio Stage! 🎶 Saturday, July 12 Music starts at 3PM | Pancho’s Taco Truck rolls in at 6PM 📍 The Tap Shack – Carson City's 5-Star Dive Bar and the undisputed Music Mecca of Carson City!

Get ready for a dreamy, tropically-tinged afternoon of music as Kolumbo, a nationally touring act led by celebrated keyboardist Frank LoCrasto, brings their hypnotic grooves to The Tap Shack!

Hailing from Brooklyn, Kolumbo isn’t your typical band—they're a sonic escape. Frank LoCrasto’s lush compositions conjure faraway lands and breezy coastlines, blending vintage exotica, psychedelic soul, and cinematic textures into one sublime experience. Think of it as a road trip soundtrack for a sunset cruise through your imagination.

With a sound that floats between retro cool and modern chill, Kolumbo is pure vibe—equal parts escapism and artistry. This is a can't-miss show for fans of Khruangbin, Tame Impala, or anyone in search of musical magic under the open sky.

🌮 Tacos. 🍹 Cocktails. 🎵 Incredible music. This is what Saturdays at The Tap Shack are all about.

🎸 BOBCAT – Live at The Tap Shack Summer Stage Series 🎸 Saturday, July 12 Music starts at 7PM | Pancho’s Tacos on site at 6PM 📍 The Tap Shack – Carson City's Music Mecca and 5-Star Dive Bar!

Join us for a parking lot party like no other as Bobcat, a wildly inventive one-man band, takes the Summer Stage at The Tap Shack. Hailing from the heart of the indie underground, Bobcat (aka Robert M. Smith) has earned a cult following with his genre-defying performances that blend high-level musicianship, biting wit, and a heavy dose of slapstick charm.

Armed with a guitar, a kick drum, looping wizardry, and a sense of humor sharp enough to leave you in stitches, Bobcat crafts live sets that are both deeply musical and hilariously unpredictable. His style fuses rock, pop, blues, and folk with observational storytelling and raw theatrical energy. Each show is an experience—wild, heartfelt, and uniquely his own.

🎤 As seen on national tours and viral TikToks, Bobcat’s performances are part jam session, part comedy set, and all unforgettable.

🍻 Come early, grab a cold one, and enjoy tacos from Pancho’s. Stay for a night of laughter, dancing, and sheer musical mayhem with one of the most entertaining acts touring today.
