Jimbo and St. Paul...
By tommyburtonIf you wander around Duling Hall this weekend, you're bound to stumble upon some great music.
Tonight, there's Jimbo Mathus and the Tri-State Coalition rocking the house.
Tomorrow is St. Paul and Broken Bones, who will bring the funky soul to Jacktown.
Also, tomorrow is the last day for Morningbell. You should totally grab that Linda Rondstadt LP you've been eyeing for the past 8 months.
So long, Morningbell (for now)...
