This will be a sold-out concert so get your tickets now, especially since they are free! And free parking! (On the street and across the road in the parking lots behind Denny’s and other shops on the north side of Huntington.) Even better, the terrific food at ABC will also be available! And that’s not all — your ticket also enters you for a chance to win the Ultimate Downtown Arcadia Experience: Dinner; Spa Time; Blues Entertainment; Lunches; a Cruise Certicate; plus more from the Downtown Arcadia Businesses.
The bands are under the direction of the esteemed music director at the school, Mike Danielson. <Video below from 2010 concert featuring rock band from about 58-seconds in…>
After the First Avenue rock bands, consider grabbing dinner at one of the many great restaurants within block or two in Downtown Arcadia — in addition to the ABC club, there is also Hot & Sweet Chicken, Denny’s, Matt Denny’s Ale House and Restaurant, Outback Steakhouse, Stacked Sandwich, Boiling Point, etc. — and then come back to ABC for another terrific Friday night of some of the best blues music in the country that is showcased almost every Friday and Saturday night.
