Newport

We are excited to be heading back to the Newport Music Hall this Saturday, September 30th, to kick off fall in Columbus. This is our first show there since we came back from our break this spring, and John's first time back "home" with us so it promises to be a very special evening at a very special venue. Doors open at 8PM, Guest opens, we go on about 10PM.

Tickets will be $20 at the door but you can guarantee you won't be shut out (and save $5) if you buy yours in advance. You can buy online at Ticketmaster, by phone/at a Ticketmaster outlet or at the Newport box office.
