Eli Young Band

November 21

7:30 PM 

The Cultural Activities Center welcomes the Eli Young Band for a Flagship concert for the 2026 Texas Music Series.

What goes around comes around, and nearly 25 years since their founding in Denton, Texas, multi- Platinum country band Eli Young Band have come home. Led by an unmistakable vocal and bringing a Texas rock edge to modern country, the never changing lineup of Mike Eli, James Young, Jon Jones, and Chris Thompson have spent two plus decades on the run, growing from hometown heroes into globe trotting, chart topping pioneers. Yet in all that time,EYB never forgot its raising, and today the foursome reclaim the spirit behind their success. Returning to their independent roots, the bold creative defiance that launched them into the mainstream and in many ways to their old stomping grounds it’s a new chapter driven by experience and a million miles of wisdom, from a band of brothers still very much in their prime.

Welcome to Vincent’s House of Wax, home to the “scary monsters.” Vincent’s House of Wax is no ordinary wax museum. During the day, the monsters hide in the museum and pretend to be wax statues, but at night they come to life.

It’s Christmas Eve at Vincent’s House of Wax and the Ghost of Jake Marley has come to visit. Jake has been helping people for over a century and has only 2 chain links left from the ones he forged in life. He has lost the help of the three spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Future and asks for the monsters help to pull a “scrooge” on Wolfgang the Werewolf.
Join Veronica the Vampire, Franklin the Monster along with Louise the Museum Curator as we dig into the past of Wolfgang the Werewolf to discover a secret that will forever change their lives.
The entire family can enjoy this adventure as Jake puts our monsters under a mystical veil to re-enact the past, present, and future of Wolfgang. What secret does Jake hide from the monsters and why is he messing up the reenactments? What happens when everyone starts to fight? Will Jake redeem himself and will it be a Merry Christmas? Is Franklin really smarter than everyone else?
