Fresh off the release of their seventh studio album, “Happiness and All The Other Things,” Cross Canadian Ragweed is scheduled to perform at the Wareham Opera House on Poyntz Ave. at 7 p.m. tonight. The event is sponsored by KatHouse Lounge.

“We’re excited for this because they were really good last time around,” said Brian Berry, owner of KatHouse.

The Yukon, Okla., quartet has established a solid reputation on the Red Dirt circuit in addition to winning some acclaim from the broader community, playing at the Grand Ole Opry in 2007 and making the song “Cry Lonely” available as a download for the wildly popular Rock Band II video game.

Tonight will mark the second time this year that the band has come to the Wareham Opera House and the first time it has held an album release party in Manhattan.

Shannon Collins, part owner of KatHouse, said the band was excited about returning to the venue. “They were wanting to come right back [after the concert earlier this year],” he said.

Cross Canadian Ragweed will perform “Happiness and All The Other Things” in its entirety after Texas blues artist Seth James performs from his new album, “That Kind of Man.”

Seriously, CCR is a widely accepted acronym form Credence Clearwater Revival, not Cross Canadian Ragweed. Change your title.
