Around The Pit

We are beyond excited to announce a brand-new addition to our music blog that aims to be the heartbeat of the live music community in the Gulf Coast, Around The Pit!

2. Faces of the Freakin' Front Row:
Who are the legends that populate the front row? From the headbangers to the air guitar heroes, one of the most captivating aspects of our gulf coast scene is the people who make it all happen.
