house band

 

Every wednesday night…7pm until 11pm

 

what’s the deal with The House Band? Think of Paul Shaffer on The Letterman Show…..

  • a great band that would host different guests every week;

  • They act as the backing band for guests for a set or even a few songs - whether a single, duo or a whole band;

  • The Kane family farm “house band” wants to give everyone a chance to come out and play with the band and have a great time!
