Alrightchy'all. A little bit of variety for yo consideration in February. This schedule is not set in stone until people start reserving. So, if a show comes up that's not on here--even if it conflicts with something that is--by all means, let me know and we'll see what we can do.Each time we fill up a bus, we pay for a month of health insurance for an artist.
Donate 25 bones/head to The Basics Fund, and get a spot on any of the upcoming bus parties. For every 10 heads you book, 1 head rides free.
Donation includes roundtrip bus party on a fully converted Grayhound style bus. Sober Driver. Keg on board (21+). Memebership to TBF (raises funds to pay for artists' health insurance).
