GALLERY FRIDAY: Sleeping Jesus + Hemma
2018-06-29 20:00 (America/Chicago) | The Oxbow Hotel, 516 Galloway St., Eau Claire, WI, 54703, United States
A failed move to New York and new love was just the existential dilemma Minnesota’s Nick Elstad needed to give life to his indie dream pop project, Sleeping Jesus. 2016 saw the release of the Perennial EP, a hazy and sweet four song journey of young love and the beautiful foolishness that accompanies it. The now five piece group went from basement to the main stage at First Avenue in one short year, picked as one of the best new bands of Minneapolis in 2016.

While in Berlin they recorded their EP, Oh Sweet Love, released in April 2017. Oh Sweet Love, is a sweet-sounding auditory souvenir of Nichols’ and Rose’s four month European journey and a recorded testament to the two-piece’s ability to turn tough times into something vibrant with help from a traveling companion.
Nickel&Rose have influences that span the spectrum of American music. Carl’s background brings elements of West African music and Blues while Johanna brings her experience playing Bluegrass, Folk and Jazz. From loss to heart break to love, Nickel&Rose address the human experience with gentle harmonies and soul stirring cries. With a shared appreciation for traditional music and a desire to break rules, the two have have created a unique sound that embodies Americana’s past and future.

LAKELY LOVES... Hmong Cuisine
2018-06-20 18:00 | The Oxbow Hotel, 516 Galloway St., Eau Claire, WI, 54703, United States
Join us as Chef Nathan Berg gets out of the driver’s seat and hands the wheel over to Lakely cook Tony Moua. Tony will be preparing a six-course dinner that will feature a number of traditional Hmong dishes, some just slightly tweaked to accommodate the ingredients available here in western Wisconsin. The impetus for this dinner was a dish Tony created for our anniversary dinner last October, in which he made a traditional larb salad, but replaced the toasted rice with our local wild rice and replaced the standard ocean fish with whitefish from these parts. That dish was so incredible that we (well, Jorja) thought it was worthy of exploring this concept as a full-fledged Lakely Loves… We all expect to learn a lot about Hmong food traditions, while also discovering ways in which we can put a local twist on these foods to create dishes that can honor both Hmong heritage AND our local foodshed. And what better time than June, when local greens and vegetables are popping out of the ground in full force? The bar will also be whipping up a few speciality cocktails/beverages for the evening that will focus heavily on the flavors featured in Hmong cuisine. This is definitely a one-of-a-kind (first of its kind?) dining experience that we’re incredibly excited to offer! We’re already about 75% booked so if you want to get in, you’d better hurry and call for your reservations soon!
$60 per person // please call 715.839.0601 for reservations

2018-06-14 19:00 | The Oxbow Hotel, 516 Galloway St., Eau Claire, WI, 54703, United States
Do you enjoy craft cocktails as much as us? Well then, you most likely want to be able to make them at your own house for those moments when you want something creative and delicious to drink but The Lakely just isn’t open. We’re here to help.
Join us on June 14th as Lakely Manager Jorja Vradenburg and staff guide you through the process of setting up a home bar so that you can mix up amazing cocktails just like the pros for your own friends and family. We’ll be covering all the basic tools that one would need get started, with some tips and advice on which tools work the best, which ones are most cost-effective and which ones are just plain unnecessary. Then we’ll discuss the basic spirits that you’ll want in your new creation station, breaking things down into what bottles you’ll want right off the bat versus the ones you can gradually add into your collection. We’ll also do a brief overview of the best kinds of glassware to use, as well as the numerous options available for good ice.
Don’t have a bar at your house? That’s okay…neither do most of us. The point is to start getting the right tools and spirits in place so that you can bring your entertaining game to the next level. Who knows? You may just become popular enough in your circle of friends that building an actual bar will be warranted! All of this learning will inevitably make you fiercely thirsty, so yes, we will provide something to sip on throughout the class to quench both your physical thirst, as well as your thirst for knowledge! 😉 Class begins at 7:00pm and lasts approximately 1.5 hours.
