CD Release Party!
|
The Downtown Livewires will be having a CD Release Party for their new CD "Cruisin' for a Bluesin" at George's Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville next Friday, August 2, 2013.
What a great way to kick off the weekend!
Here's what some people are sayig about this band...
"I am never surprised when Roger Thomas and The Downtown LIVEWIRES Band brings the largest crowd of the summer to our City of Bentonville's Orchard Concert Series. They bring their own crowd, and they have a great following. Over the last two years, they have proven to be professional, and one of the best sounds of any band we hire. We will continue to hire them for events in our city." ~ David Wright, Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Bentonville
