Need a little art, culture and music? You gotta go to the show at the Ogden Southern Museum of Art (925 Camp St.) -better known as Ogden after Hours. The concert starts up at 6:00 pm with Chris Thomas King. King started his own independent production company and record label, 21st Century Blues. Soon after he found success as a film composer and actor. Winning three Grammy Awards by 2003 and several Country music CMA awards.

As an actor King has a role in the HBO series "Treme" and starred in the movie "O Brother Where Art Thou"! Be sure to head on over to the bar for this month's signature cocktail the - brandy milk punch! Remember if you're a member of the Ogden you always get in free!
