The last time Lettuce played at the original Brooklyn Bowl in Brooklyn, NY, they performed a vibrant New Year's celebration to cap off a three-night stand on December 31, 2017. The Boston, MA-based sextet is no stranger to the jam band-friendly venue, as they were tapped for a two-night stand as part of the venue's fifteenth-anniversary celebration.

This past weekend, jam band Spafford brought their electrifying performances to the Carolinas, with shows in Charlotte, Charleston, and Raleigh. One night in Charleston even featured a "Rock the Pink" event where fans were encouraged to wear pink in support of breast cancer awareness month. The weekend was full of unforgettable surprise cover bust-outs that left audiences buzzing: “Ruby Soho” by Rancid and “The Other One” by Grateful Dead.
