Hi, folks.
The big news is that Boston's legendary rockin' trio The Cranktones are playing an early show (4:00 PM to 8:00 PM) at the Midway in Jamaica Plain February 18, 2017. This will be a fantastic show! Easy Ed's Record Hop will spin the platters whenever the band isn't playing, so you get four full hours of rockin' sounds. All ages--bring the kids!
