May 24th was the BIG MEMORIAL WEEKEND JAM at the Indigo Lounge. The night was FYAH! Shot out to The Emily Cohn Quartet who jammed hard all night long. What a magnificent band who will definitely be performing with us again. Mike The Poet ripped the stage first and the crowd went wild as he represented the Westcoast.
