If you are fond of music and good times, plan on spending an evening with two great bands and some reasonably decent people.

Alex Dupree & The Trapdoor Band (Band Website)

They are good, really good. The raw, listen to over and over again kind of good. Anyone who was here for the show last December will tell you, “Go to this show.” Read below for others who support this claim:
