Big Nazo is a wildly theatrical performance group known for fusing live music with surreal creature design, puppetry, and street-theater spectacle. Originating from the Big Nazo Lab in Providence, Rhode Island, the ensemble performs in elaborate handmade monster costumes, turning every show into a hybrid of concert, carnival, and avant-garde art installation.

Their music—often funky, rhythmic, and percussion-heavy—serves as the engine for chaotic, playful performances that blur the line between band and living cartoon. Equal parts absurd, immersive, and infectious, Big Nazo’s Creature Band creates a one-of-a-kind experience where music and visual performance collide in loud, weird, and unforgettable ways.

The Ulsterados, our favorite Hudson Valley honkytonkers will be joining and supporting Big Nazo; tearring up all those country classics, while the wild rumpus unfolds. This show was the absolute highlight of 2025 and we can’t wait to see what gonzo adventures await us this time around.
