Herr Metal
Herr Metal, the ultimate rock sensation direct from Germany, is ready to take you on a headbanging, fist-pumping, air-guitar-shredding journey through some of rock’s best up-tempo music.
Pat McGee Band
Weaned on the classic influences of such tightly knit ensembles as the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers, as well as the Laurel Canyon glow evoked by preeminent ‘70s singer/songwriters such as James Taylor and Jackson Browne, McGee and his comrades effectively capture their own sense of optimism and exuberance. Regulars at major national venues, we have them FREE at RTC!
