The Button Factory Stage is excited to have Walter etc. Along with some local acts Watson Park and Ezra Cohen! 

Walter Etc. is the brainchild of Dustin Cole Hayes, who has been creating music (originally as

Walter Mitty and His Makeshift Orchestra), writing, videos, and art for over a decade. Based in

Ventura, CA he co-runs the label and art collective Making New Enemies with Milk Flud, and

has worked alongside Jeff Rosenstock and Ian Farmer (Slaughter Beach, Dog / Modern

Baseball) in the studio. Walter's newest album "There There" (self-released via Making New

Enemies, May 2021) showcases the band's return to a home-recorded and self-produced

approach. With a revolving door of band members and a foray into different genres, it is Hayes's

gift for lyricism and DIY ethos that holds all of his projects together in one cohesive canon.

Doors open at 7 PM. Music at 8 PM.
