September 18, 2015 by Christine McAvoy in Gigs Of The Week

Kirk's Pick

Who? The Dears
Where? The Fox Cabaret
When? Saturday, September 19
Why? The sting of not going to Rifflandia this weekend is softened by the fact that the #1 band I was going to see will be playing a show of their very own at the Fox Cabaret on Saturday. If you, like me, are not going over to the island, the only acceptable course of action is to see The Dears.
