On Thursday, Aug. 5, at 6:30 p.m., The Band from U.N.C.L.E. will play a concert rescheduled due to rain.
The group describes itself as being “on a secret mission to bring 50s-60s rock & roll, garage rock and girl group/soul music to the masses.”
Gretchen Bostrom provides lead vocals, with Silvertone Steve Coveney on guitar and singing backup, Brian “Double-O” Cutler on drums and backup vocals, and “Wando” Mannell playing bass and singing backup. See more information and listen to some of the Band From U.N.C.L.E.’s music by clicking here.
