SWITCHEROO
The August 14 gig at 26 Degree Brewing has been postponed until September 4. The switch happened yesterday soon after I sent out a mass email and Facebook invites.
By the way, if you want to be a Facebook friend, just go to Robert Ross Band on Facebook and put in a friend request or send me a message on FB letting me know what state and county you live in so I can better organize my friends list. Thanks!!
