Activate! presents:
In 1996, I was living in Harrisonburg and my JMU BFF Jenny was from Richmond. We drove here a couple of times to see bands and we might have even been at one of these shows. At 5pm on Activate!, you’ll hear the sounds that emanated from Twisters in Spring/Summer ’96!
Big thanks to Jessica from The Broadberry for the flyer.
