Dig Deeper with The Sonics & Rye Coalition - Norton Records Benefit!
Saturday, April 13, 2013
9:00pm until 4:00am
25/30 dollars
Dig Deeper is honored to present our heroes, Pacific Northwest garage legends The Sonics. This show is a benefit for Norton Records – all ticket sales will be donated to Norton to help them cope with their hurricane-related losses. When we say "all ticket sales" we mean everything.
When we started Dig Deeper, we intended to go beyond soul and put on a few garage shows over time. In reality, the only band we really wanted to work with was the Sonics.
