“We love bringing the community together for this event and giving everyone a chance to see some of the amazing shows we have booked for next season,” said WCC Director Matt Laughlin. “We’re also thrilled to bring back local favorites, 20 Grand, to perform in the O’Shaughnessy. We hope to see the community come out to enjoy a free, fun evening together with us on June 18.”

With influences rooted in hip-hop, jazz and soul, the band has spent over a decade performing at festivals, weddings and events across the country.
