My band PAYBACK will be at the Copper Nickel in Aurora one night only July 3rd 8 - 12 for the holiday festivities with my buddy and owner Tim Kruchowski on the drums and our great friend and amazing bass player Tom Berrigan on the bass guitar. Looking forward to a packed house, it’s going to be a hot sweaty one but will be a great time! Come one for great drinks, food, friends, festivities, electric rock music and/or get yourself a Poor Gary’s pizza at the new pizza shop at the Copper! I’ve tried the frozen ones and they are excellent! Can’t wait to try a fresh one from the oven! Hope to see you there!
