Hypnotic Tonic
Hypnotic Tonic centers rhythm at the core, letting layered grooves and shifting textures steer the music. Rather than settling into one style, the set flows from easygoing passages to bursts of intensity, shaping a fluid and surprising journey. As the layers build and change, the performance stays engaging from start to finish and keeps listeners locked in.
Record ArchiveResolution: A Cinephonic Rhapsody for the Soul
Discover an award-winning dome theater film that fuses cinema and sound into a visual album inspired by The Polyphonic Spree’s new record, Salvage Enterprise. The narrative circles a campfire, where each song opens a window into the inner life of someone sitting nearby. Every piece features its own animation style, building a larger journey of hope and renewal as the film progresses. Created as intentional, immersive art, this experience encourages you to set distractions aside and reconnect with music on a deeply felt level.
Kids' Night Out
Every second and fourth Friday, parents get an evening to themselves while kids take part in a supervised Kids' Night Out featuring staff-led climbing, games, and other activities. Advance registration is requested, and a pizza dinner is included.
