The world as we know it is slowly but surely getting back to “normal” and we literally don’t know what to do with ourselves after the last two years of working grueling hours and actively avoiding social activities.

What better way to finally live our best life after a never-ending string of shifts than to finally enjoy the return of LIVE (not virtual) MUSIC?!
