Pandemic-prov
We performed a safe, outdoor, two-show day at The Beer Can in August 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic. We were back again in September 2021, and almost got rained out by an intense flash storm! We were very grateful for the sun, the smiling faces, and most importantly the incredibly supportive staff & team at The Beer Can!
