Concerts Under the Stars: Trash Cat

Grab your lawn chairs and pack a picnic for an unforgettable evening of music under the open sky! Concerts Under the Stars is a free concert series that welcomes a diverse lineup of musicians to UNC Garden Theatre on Tuesdays in July. This Greeley summer tradition is hosted by the UNC School of Music.

Trash Cat uses their music to ride a see-saw between tender-heartedness and absurdity inspired by their favorite cartoons and pop culture. They are a quirky combo personally and instrumentally, consisting of Mary Claxton on electric ukulele, Hayden Farr on baritone saxophone, and Brian Claxton on drums. Trash Cat loves to make their audiences dance, smile, and hug their inner child. Formed in 2018, Trash Cat has played for a variety of venues such as Indie 102.3, O’Dell Brewing, Greeley Friday Fest, and the Flying V Sessions at Wolverine Farms. Their style is at home in a club, singing books at an elementary school, and even conventions like Fort Collins Comic Con and the VINCON Vintage Video Game Convention. Trash Cat is also the musical voice behind Little Roar and His Big Family, a preschool cartoon celebrating diversity in families.
