The State Theatre teams up with Magic Hat Brewery of Burlington, Vermont to host a beer dinner featuring Magic Hat’s “Spring Fever” variety pack of seasonal offerings. The theme of the 3 course dinner will be Mardi Gras, with plenty of N’awlins recipes. Some of the dishes will incorporate Magic Hat’s brews in the recipe, while others will just taste great together! The beer dinner will take place at the State Theatre, located at 220 North Washington Street, in Falls Church, VA. There is plenty of free parking, and we encourage attendees to take the Metro’s Orange Line to the East Falls Church Metro Station, where there is a Falls Church shuttle bus with a stop directly across from the Theatre.

In 1996 Tommy Castro's first major release, Exception to the Rule on Blind Pig, garnered near unanimous raves from blues and mainstream publications around the world as the press took notice of a great new artist on the scene. Industry trades took notice as well. Calling him "an up-and-coming blues phenom," Billboard said, "Castro combines the earthy soulfulness of Albert Collins and B.B. King with the polish of Robert Cray." Radio's insider "bible," the Gavin Report, said of the album: "Castro has etched one of those rare blues records that rises above the usual clichés of the genre. Castro is the awesome exception to the blues rule...the next blues rock hero."
Prominent observers of the blues have extolled Tommy's dynamic musicianship and pointed to him as being among a small few that represent the future of the blues. B.B. King was so enamored of the Tommy Castro Band that he invited them to be openers on his 2001 concert tour, and again in 2002.
