Keith Glass, Thursday Night! Also: Lennon Tribute, Thanksgiving Fundraiser

"Hi Bruce – Keith here. Got any spots I might fill? I just wanna get out and play, do some covers, some originals, make a noise, beat on a guitar. Any time is good. Weeknights, weekends, whatever. Lemme know what comes to mind. Thanks, Keith"

Needless to say, when 6 time Juno award winner Keith Glass of Prairie Oyster fame sends you this email, the answer is "Yes. When?" Turns out, the answer to that is this Thursday, October 6; ...for just $8, you can be a part of an evening with one of Canada's most celebrated songwriters...having fun, hearing some "covers, originals, mak(ing) a noise, beat(ing) on a guitar..." In short? This. Will. Rule. OK, see you there?
