Summer in the Shade(s) with Old 97′s, Wallflowers, BoDeans and more
It’s good to be a Shade. New songs are coming and it’s just about time to get leaving again. We’ll be logging some major miles on the Chevy Express this summer and bringing these new tunes and also new faces to the stage. After a gig with alt-county heroes Old 97′s at Milwaukee’s Turner Hall Ballroom, we bid farewell to Wisconsin until mid July.
