So March is a good month, filled with basketball, green beer, and SPRING!! Who can argue with that?

ps - did you know that Albert Einstein's birthday is on Pi Day (3/14)?!

Back on topic... here we go:

BLOODKIN /
TURTLE FOLK

Both Georgian bands (Athens and Savannah respectively) are here to bring a little bluesy rock! You might have seen Bloodkin in a recent Rolling Stone issue, and you've probably heard their songs (they have written songs for Widespread Panic, along with many others). Turtle Folk has shared the stage with The Black Crowes, Drivin' N' Cryin', Spin Doctors, and many more, but tonight - they're here with Bloodkin to shake your core.
