The Lakota say “Mitákuye Oyás’iŋ, meaning we are all related,” Larry Dunn observed. “We. Are. All. Related.” Since 2003, Dunn has been organizing events to bring some cheer to the Pine Ridge reservation during the holiday season. He became involved in the life of the reservation as he pursued Lakota spiritual traditions. Dunn is also known in the music community as Lash LaRue, the longtime front man of local rockabilly trio The Mercurys. The Toy Drive for Pine Ridge was established to use his musical skills and that of his friends to bring toys to the reservation.

From our list of things to do:
Has 2020 got you yearning for a gentler, more analog era? A time when life was all earth-toned, shag carpeted rec rooms and groovy singer-songwriters ruled FM radio? Even if this era predates your actual birth, you can still jam out to PetRock, the ultimate musical tribute to the smooth rock of the ‘70s playing at the Waiting Room Dec. 18 and 19. With a set list featuring legendary golden oldies by England Dan & John Ford Coley, ELO and Todd Rundgren, the show promises to be DY-NO-MITE! for both Gen Y and Boomers alike.
