Man this was a great band and being in the tunnel wasn’t as bad as people thought! Definetly going to the next one!!!
Another great show in a great series! Looking forward to more of them….especially the Buckwheat Zydeo show later this month. But all the bands are great….and the opening bands are local, and are the true gems in the series! The Afrodesiacs blew me away last Friday! Can’t wait for the next show…
…of course, I meant Buckwheat Zydeco. Darn fat fingers….
