Infinity Hall is a beautiful, historic, restored theater where live music is cherished and the lucky bands who play there receive the kind of love and appreciation not often found today. We play here every year and we leave the club feeling like we're walking on air. Beautiful state-of-the-art sound system, gourmet restaurant downstairs, and live music every night of the week. There's nothing like it anywhere in New England! This show will be extra special because in addition to our live performance, we are going to air a never-before-seen special film we made of our life-changing tour of the Republic of Georgia that we took this past August at the invitation of the U.S.embassy located there. You won't see this footage anywhere else, ever!
