Omaha's Slumber Party Records is teaming up with neighborhood vegan restaurant Daily Grub for a dinner and unplugged show Saturday night to help out label funds.

It's Slumber Party's first organized fundraiser, said label owner Aaron Markley.

Event goers can catch dinner and the show at 7 p.m. for $20 or just attend the show, beginning at 9 p.m., for $10 at the Daily Grub, located on 1054 S. 20th St. in Omaha. Proceeds will go toward a handful of upcoming releases from Slumber Party artists and others.

Label artists set for new albums include Noah's Ark Was A Spaceship with "Hanga-Fang," Honeybee and Conchance. Upcoming splits from Slumber Party include "Kids Beat Your Vegetables" from Sean Pratt and Capgun Coup's Sam Martin and a split with Outlaw Con Bandana and Bruces. They'll also be releasing a 7-inch from Iowa City, Iowa's Sam Locke Ward and the Boo Hoos.

The show will feature acoustic sets from musicians from label artists Conchance, Honeybee, Bear Country, Talking Mountain and Thunder Power. Other Omaha musicians set to perform are Simon Joyner, Alex McManus of the Bruces, Martin and Pratt.

Daily Grub's owner and chef Elle Lien will be serving two different dishes for the dinner, "eat with a fork" chili on jalapeƱo cornbread and squash and green bean curry served on brown rice.

Daily Grub has recently expanded their hours, Lien said, to Friday and Saturday night for dinner and Saturday for lunch.

"There are always things happening at the Grub. We are always looking for new ways to keep the menu fresh, keep the restaurant running efficiently," Lien said.

The restaurant features a different menu each week, depending on what's available of "locally sourced food."

"Daily Grub is a farm to table, whole foods diner," Lien said.
