The show kicks off with Down to Everything at 6:30pm, which started as an idea between four longtime friends in 2010. Lead singer and guitarist Mike Jazz brought a few songs he had written almost a decade ago to the band. The moment all four band members played their first song together, something incredible happened. Pure, sick tight energy was spawned. (more info here)
