PEACE PARTY THIS FRIDAY! - This Friday, June 2, The Mighty Manatees will be performing at The Peace Party at the Country Creek Winery in Telford, PA from 7:30 to 11:30. This show takes place in a great old Pennsylvanian barn. Jozo, K-Jo, T-Ho, drummer Josh Kanusky (Jo-K?), and myself will be taking the stage in the name of tolerance, understanding, and forgiveness. Give the Peace Party a chance! Special thanks to Peggy & Drew.
PLEASE NOTE: Because of a bridge out, take Rt. 63 and turn onto Thompson Road instead, then right onto Moyer, left onto Cressman, then first driveway on the right. http://www.countrycreekwinery.com/
