🎇Important last minute addition to the February music listings 🎆
On February 26, the last Thursday of the month Battle of the Bands at the Five & Dive pub in West Edmonton Mall will be a Solo Act version. A Solo Cup, if you will.
Music starts 8:30pm (& goes to after midnight, 8 acts × 30 minutes each), no cover, 18+.
The venue markets themselves on affordable snacks & drinks.

But that's not the important part.
The important part is that one of the competitors will be Amelia Byrd (👋🏻).
So, uh, if you've been curious about hearing what I've been doing & can get out to the big mall on a Thursday night, come say hi & help increase my audience enthusiasm vote! Note that I won't know what time I'm on until we get there.
(If you are curious but not near Edmonton, you'll have to convince someone who is in Edmonton to come & take a video or something.)
