Shams Band Says...   


Friends & Family,

Tonight is the last night of our Schubas residency! We have had an amazing time thus far with all the bands involved. Thank you to those that have come every week, you have seen the smiles on our faces and we truly love you for supporting us.

If you haven't made it out yet, tonight is your night. Look at how how much fun you can have "Roll That Whiskey (w/ Daniel Ellsworth & The Great Lakes)"

Let's call tonight our official "Album Release" and pack Schubas! We will be joined by the (soon-to-be-famous) Archie Powell & The Exports. 93XRT Local Anesthetic is already calling their album Great Ideas In Action one of the "Best In 2012" and the already famed, Young Hines, w/ DJ sets by Mr. Gac.

Doors open at 7:30. Tickets are $6 (Available HERE). 21+.  Based on the turnout the last 3 weeks, we'd advise getting them ahead of time. We look forward to partying with you and we love you. Thank you for everything!

See you tonight,

Donnie, Paul, Ben, Doug & Brian
