Thursday After Hours at OMCA | Pop-up Performance: MeloDious Nights, Trivia Night, and Gallery Chats

Adults 18+

This Thursday, get ready for an unforgettable night in the Gallery of California History with MeloDious Nights! Immerse yourself in an eclectic, soulful sound experience as the talented group from Oakland takes the stage. MeloDious will deliver a dynamic performance featuring their signature vocal harmonies, original arrangements, and creative talents, with songs from their latest album, Is It The Way: Volume I alongside new music and fresh arrangements. Next, show off your knowledge of California Black History at Trivia Night! Winners will receive prizes from OMCA’s Store. Between performances and trivia, explore OMCA’s award-winning galleries, indulge in delicious bites and beverages from Town Fare Café, and enjoy music curated by DJ Mark DiVita.

In addition to a dynamic event experience, every Thursday After Hours also offers guests a well-rounded gallery experience with Gallery Chats. Unlike the traditional museum tour, Gallery Chats invites visitors to chat, ask questions, and connect with our OMCA facilitators who combine content knowledge with lived experience to encourage meaningful dialogue and fresh interpretations of our galleries. Gallery Chats take place in our Special Exhibitions and our Galleries of California Art, History, and Natural Sciences.

Gallery Chats and Thursday After Hours programming are included with the price of general Museum admission for guests, and totally free for Museum Members. Town Fare Café will be open to visitors until 8 pm.

The OMCA garage will be open until 9 pm on Thursdays Jan 9—Mar 27.

About MeloDious:

MeloDious is an eclectic, soulful sound experience from Oakland, CA possessing a vast repertoire of music spanning gospel, jazz, R&B and soul. Since 2016, MeloDious has been captivating audiences with their creative talents, vocal harmonies, original arrangements, and sibling dynamic. In 2020, the band decided it was time to begin a journey into uncharted territory and venture into places not yet explored—writing and composing music to release an album. The journey proved to be monumental in their growth as artists and individuals. After three years, the album was complete and shared before the world.

Since the album release, MeloDious has had an array of opportunities over the past several years that include selling out their first headliner show at Yoshi’s in Oakland, performing at the Grammy Nominee Celebration for the San Francisco Chapter of the Recording Academy, The Storefront Market Earth Day Celebration at Chase Center, Make Music Day at Chase Center, The Dock of the Bay Festival at Mare Island and being selected as the first band ever to participate in the Dolby Atmos Accelerator program in San Francisco.

With a passion for creating new music and developing exciting arrangements, the band always aims to create an experience their MeloDious Fam won’t forget.
