The Return of the Foam Raiser

featuring Little Mazarn and Pecos Hank

presented with Saint Arnold Brewing Company

Sunday, December 14, 2025 | 5 - 7 pm

Orange Show monument, 2401 Munger Street

Free parking at 2334 Gulf Terminal Drive, Houston, TX 77023

free admission, $25 for limited edition glass & two pints

The Foam Raisers have been the product of a longstanding partnership between the Orange Show and Saint Arnold Brewing Company, introducing audiences to up-and-coming bands like The Suffers, Wild Moccasins, Grandfather Child, and Robert Ellis, as well as seasonal selections of handcrafted ales, IPAs, and ciders. The sale of limited edition pint glasses with an all-new design by Chris Lockwood benefit ongoing restoration efforts at the Orange Show monument.

$25 gets the glass itself, a pint of seasonal Saint Arnold's beer, and a refill.

Admission is free but we encourage you to give generously as the Orange Show Center continues a major restoration effort supported by the National Park Service's Save America's Treasures initiative. 

5pm: LITTLE MAZARN

Little Mazarn is a musical collaboration between friends Lindsey Verrill (songwriter, vocalist) and Jeff Johnston (saw). They live in Austin Texas.  Their songs invent new landscapes where the ground is the sky, where the foot touches the cloud and it dissolves ever so slowly, where the eye has the entire day to observe the path of the snail.  

6pm: PECOS HANK

A knack for wrangling tornadoes and charming rattlesnakes earned Hank Schyma the nickname “Pecos Hank” after Texas fake-lore legend Pecos Bill.  Hank is a musician, author, storm chaser and filmmaker known for his stunning weather photography, nature documentaries, and educational science videos. Over three decades of chasing storms, he has documented some of the world’s most extreme tornadoes and thunderstorms and is credited with the discovery of the “green ghost,” a rare upper-atmospheric electrical discharge. Clips from his extensive video and photography catalog appear in movies and documentaries from National Geographic, Disney, BBC, Discovery and many more.  Life as a devoted songwriter and musician, dove-tailed harmoniously with his pursuit of Mother Nature’s mysteries.  His cinematic voodoo rock-n-roll and surfy western twang echo the lonely roads he travels. His book “Storm” brings together the very best of his work, featuring dramatic photography, unforgettable stories from the road and clear, engaging explanations of the science behind the storms.
