1st set : Dosh with members of the WHY band. Anticon Records represents hard in the Clown Lounge. If you’ve never seen WHY and members nows your chance. Highly Recommended!

2nd set : Metzger, Linz, Bates. Banjo trio from Antarctica. Werner Herzog got’s nothing on this trio as they play some old timey rags and swingers! Modestly Recommended

The Clown Lounge
21 + and all the booze you want to drink. Dave might even make you a Pink Squirrel?????

$5 gets you access to heaven.
See you there.
