Wow they’ve really got their finger on the pulse of people of Troy. Are the people booking these gigs from outerspace? Of course there is that statue of Zac Brown (who?) in the Pidgeon Park so we are all awaiting that tribute with bated breath….clueless…..
My question is this:
Who are Eastbound Jesus going to do a tribute to? Eric Clapton, maybe?
hopefully they will sing all blind owl songs
