First band booked for The Big BBQ 2012

Blue Horyzon

They turn modern songs into fun american bluegrass. Perfect to while away an hour while smokin' a brisket and sippin' some cider.

Is it more like grillstock or mayhem in may ? As need to sort out the sleeping situation, because I have a wife and two children to think about.
