First night playing!

Recently, we began surveying local venues and bars that we could pick up our guitars and just play at. Some of the popular places seemed to be Ireland’s Four Courts, Gypsy Sally’s, and Madam’s Organ. Ireland’s Four Courts was our first victim and we had a blast! Check Instagram for a few pics of the more...
