Activate! presents:
It’s a mellower mood this week in the River City, but that won’t stop the live music. At 5pm, I’ll give you a musical heads up for holiday shows featuring The Shangri-Lords (pictured), Butcher Brown, and R4ND4ZZO BIG B4ND, PBR’s farewell show, and much more. Plus, I’ll give you gifts in the form of tickets to Carbon Leaf at The National and Bio Ritmo at The Broadberry!
