  2. MSG has nothing on Parkside this Thursday night with all these cool pro bands on the same bill, each a great band in their own right. I am definitely going!

  4. As a Club 57 Alumni, Alexa Hunter and her band Disturbed Furniture were a staple in the downtown music and art scene. I am fortunate to also be a Club 57 Alumni and participate with it all ! Don't miss this show of talented musicians that have proven through the test of time to still be relevant and rockin' !!
