The Mezcal Bros. $10
June 9, 2023 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
The Mezcal Brothers music has its roots in the 1950’s with the emergence of Rock & Roll. It is this earlier form of Rock & Roll, called Rockabilly, that drives the Mezcal sound. Artist like the young Elvis Presley, the flamboyant Little Richard, the irreverent Jerry Lee Lewis, plus the influential writing styles of Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochran, have all contributed to The Mezcals true Americana sound. Along with their original compositions and highly energized stage performance, The Mezcals bring a new vision to a classic tradition.

Don't miss this special Gay AF edition of Zootenanny with David Shaun!From the streets of Staten Island, to the vacant corn fields of Iowa, David Shaun has seen and done a lot in his very short, very sexy, young, youthful, glowing and not at all aged life.

You can now find David in the back of many local standup showcases and open mics questioning his own relevance.Since 2018 David has been touring the country doing standup shows at state colleges, local colleges, agricultural colleges, technical colleges, beauty schools, online colleges and vocational schools alongside Actor/Comedian Daniel Franzese, who’s coattails David will be riding all the way to his own easily forgotten Netflix special.Featuring Kevin Michael and Diana Graham!Showtime 8:30 PM, tickets $10 at the door- June 12, 2023
