Starkitect, the musical project led by Richard Weiss, is set to perform at the Saxon Pub with a lineup of new songs and an ensemble featuring Chris Nine, Adam Tyner, Chepo Pena, and Phil McJunkins. The event is scheduled for Halloween Eve, offering attendees what is described as a "group therapy session" filled with music and surprises. Costumes are encouraged but not mandatory.
