CALL THE SITTER

  • Aug 21: Soul Meets Body, Shagwuf, La Da Da @ The Southern Café & Music Hall
    Soul Meets Body is on the precipice of releasing its new album Hallucinations and they’re doing a mini-tour in the DMV to celebrate. We get them first in Charlottesville alongside local legends Shagwuf and as if that weren’t enough, you’re going to hear the full album WITH one Mr. Orion Redwolf on guitar. So this is truly a tour de force of Cville punk.
