Throw on your whitest tee, slick your hair back and don’t miss this once in a lifetime chance to see Ness strum his Les Paul and croon jukebox classics like “Story of My Life” and the Johnny Cash cover, “Ring of Fire.” Opening acts include Will Hoge and Pony Bradshaw. Doors at 7pm. ID required for entry. Show is sold out.
