Tonight we have a special acoustic show to get us all in the mood of Thanksgiving. It’s also our last show for a couple of weeks so there’s even more reason to come out! Playing tonight will be an acoustic version of local pop punk act Kickstart. Joining them will be Hannah Joy and Sammy and the Punk (who will also be playing acoustic).
The show starts at 7:00 pm and is $5. You can also check out what other shows we have coming up at Black Sheep at our shows page.
After meeting with the director of WQNA 88.3 fm we are VERY excited to announce that Black Sheep will be hosting our very own radio show sometime in the near future on WQNA.
The focus of the show will be local music. Some of the kinks are still being worked out, but we do know that we will be featuring band interviews, live recordings of shows, and much more. There is some very exciting stuff in store for us in the future. We will keep you all updated on the show, and let you know when it will be aired when we can.
And now a message from Kevin:
Like times in the past with Black Sheep when an opportunity arises for us to do something new, we do it. If you wait too long to act nothing will happen. We are excited to do something completley new for us and that is radio. We are excited to work with WQNA and we are excited for the future. DIY till’ we die.
