Earl Pickens and the Band named Thunder
Blueberry and Bluegrass Festival
Mifflinburg, PA
EPATBNT, live in Mifflinburg Community Park, on the very same stage where Simon and Garfunkel reunited for their own classic “Concert in the Park” back in ‘81. Paul and Artie pulled in a million or so people for their gig — let’s see if we can beat ‘em! I don’t mean to say I think we can bring more than a million people out to this show, I just think we should beat up Simon and Garfunkel. We’ll draw up plans at this gig. Somebody bring some paper. And lawn chairs. Don’t forget the lawn chairs. Garfunkel hates lawn chairs. And blueberries!
Tuesday, July 22nd / 7-9 PM
Earl Pickens & Family
Vic’s Pub / Rt 45, Lewisburg
Me, Buzz and Jake playing a show as only me, Buzz and Jake know how. Literally. No on else knows how we play a show.

Save the date. Save the whales while you’re at it. It’s a party, and it’s gonna be a BIG one. We’re gonna chill, sing, dance, drink, think, rock, roll, party, get into it, get on it, get out from under it, tear the roof off, tear it up, put it back together, tear it up AGAIN, tear it down, get it on, get together, get off, and generally get AWAY from it ALL for the evening. In addition to all of the above, PLEASE PASS THE REVOLUTION! will be ready for public consumption. Do us both a favor and come on OUT!!!
