The event that will happen at Metro tomorrow night is turning out to be not just a rock show, but a Most Spectacular Extravaganza. We’ll be giving out FREE CDS of one of the tracks we just recorded with Sean O’Keefe, our NEW TSHIRTS are scheduled to be there, and we have a few more fun surprises lined up.

Also, our Tenor Sax player’s band, Kemman, has been added to the bill. It’s their triumphant return to the stage after a baby-centric hiatus. Make sure to get your tickets in advance so you don’t miss out on all of this! See our Shows section for more info and how to get tickets for only $6.

And Now a Word From CO&HG
