Last night at The Rainbow was something special. Huge thank you to everyone who came out, what an incredible crowd! Massive shout-out to Mecca of Stank for putting on Stank Fest and setting such an awesome vibe. And big thanks to the Rainbow Bistro team, especially the sound engineer, for keeping things dialed in with a full stage of musicians and delivering amazing sound all night. It truly made the performances shine. What a night!

What better way to make room for more turkey and all the accoutrements than by dancing the night away! Groovebug and the mighty Mecca of Stank will be bringing the funk on December 27th at The Rainbow—this is the place to be! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
