PCJ Fri Jun 27: 🎂 The Bend Turns 1 — Plus a Secret Songwriter Showcase

Live music, surprise showcases, and one very cool anniversary celebration.

It’s not every Friday you get a full-on birthday party and a secret show in the same night. The Bend’s anniversary celebration starts tonight with the Hatch Brothers, and Station No. 2 is hosting a rare Nashville-style songwriter night for those in the know.
