March 10-11: Three Oaks, MI & Yellow Springs, OH
We journey east this weekend (3/10 -3/11) for our first appearance at The Acorn Theater in Three Oaks, Michigan and a return visit to little town that packs a big afrobeat punch, Yellow Springs, Ohio. We’re hoping that bringing our funk to the elegance of The Acorn Theater will recruit some South Bend and Elk Hart, Indiana folks to the show — it’s only about a half hour’s drive for you guys. Pass on the word if you have friends there. In Yellow Springs, Peach’s Grill once again hosts CAbP. We look forward to heating up the room with some familiar faces.
