All proceeds will benefit MusiCares, and the bill features Chilton/Box Tops/Big Star songs performed by the likes of Superdrag, Ned Van Go (members of Who Hit John & The Cowards), The Carter Administration (w/Sam Powers!), Derek Hoke, The Red Caps, House Of Wolves (featuring ex-Flesh Vehicle bassist Matt Fuller), The Fuel-Injected Legends and more. It's sure to be a great time, and not to be missed.<br />------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------NextBIGNashvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03197936708366270294noreply@blogger.com
