This week is all about the beat. So break out those dancing shoes and get your boogie on with Shanghai's offerings of house, soul, rock and hip-hop. O, and we also threw in little opera, just to make it a good mix. more ›

Carlton J. Smith will help us celebrate the United States' 233rd birthday by performing at the Boxing Cat Brewery Fourth of July party.
