We’re also welcoming back longtime guitarist Dave Corman, who’s stepping back on stage with us after many years away, but this time as our secret weapon - guitar and keys complementing our already stellar current lineup.

 

With an expanded 8-piece lineup, it’s shaping up to be a pretty unique night — and a lineup we’ve never had before. A true Hot August Night.
