JOTR is always a great little urban music event, but this lineup is especially solid. Common sharing the stage with the Disco Biscuits is big news, especially given the band’s recent interest in hip hop. But the musical mayhem is even sweeter with all these additional late-night shows. Sounds like a dance party to me!
