There is no mistake, you are in the right place. Pachyderm beckons. The studio once still and silent is awash with people inside and out.

The real reason this is relevant to local music is that quite a few MN “jam bands” are going to be performing at this festival-like event. Frogleg, Circle of Heat, and the Gypsy Lumberjacks will all be there! Check out some footage of what they do BEST: [Read more…] about Event Preview – Melvin Seals & JGB – Skyway Theatre 10/14
