Please be aware: This show ALWAYS sells out (128 consecutive times, so far), so you must buy tickets in advance - do not just show up and expect to get in. Also, you must arrive at the Museum at LEAST 10 minutes prior to showtime to pick up your willcall tickets. There is NO late-seating, as the planetarium is extremely dark, and there are no refunds. Sorry!

I am dying for that playlist, you promised! The songs from your equally talented brother “Daniel Wolfe” to the music from your boys in Boulder, it is a soundtrack for a smooth evening of Fractal Jams and I want to find those songs you played last night during “Fractal’s Rock”. Please post a track listing when you get a chance. Thanks!
When will you have another Fractal Rock? I loved it!
Fractals Rock! will return next summer.
