Hello to The Surfers… I am an event promoter in the city of Dixon Illinois and would like to know if your band is available for our Blues, Brews & BBQ’s festival on September 3, 2016. I saw your show at the Vic theater in Chicago when you opened up for Lake Street dive and loved it. Let’s start with availability and we will go from there.
Thank you for your time,
Mike Venier
