Ever hear about this amazing local music scene but don’t really know what people are talking about? Find out what people are raving about Friday at the Turnpike Music Showcase at Liberty Hall. For a mere $7 you will be able see such bands as Appleseed Cast, Cowboy Indian Bear and Muscle Worship. Appleseed Cast have been playing their indie sounds since 1997 while the other two bands have formed relatively recently but are growing in popularity.
Catch the ‘Cast: Established local act The Appleseed Cast headlines The Turnpike’s first music showcase at Liberty Hall tomorrow.
This will mark the first time Turnpike has had full control over the concert and marks Turnpike’s hope to prove itself as a concert promoter, says Brendan Costello, producer of the show.
The show will allow some local bands to be able to get on television and allow them to get on a bigger stage that they normally wouldn’t be able play on, says Costello.
Liberty Hall tends to cater only to the national touring acts, so it’s good to be able to get some local acts up on the stage, Costello says.
Scrounge up some loose change or bum a few bucks from your friends and check out the Turnpike Music Showcase at 8 p.m. Friday September 18th.
