Come see Planet Banjo &/or the Dixie Butterhounds as we open at the Cantab for the "Second Tuesdays" of 2016. Yes, we're taking a break this summer! But we'll be back in October! The Cantab Lounge is on Mass. Ave, right in Central Square, Cambridge, MA (our fair city) and starts around 8PM. Brought to you by Geoff Bartley, guitarist of some reknown!
Here's a clip from the last April show.
