Friday, 4/22 (Earth Day)
Yours Cruelly at Jimmy's Place
WHEN: Friday, April 22 - 8pm
EVENT TYPE: Live Music
LINK: https://www.facebook.com/events/1717393008479041/
LOCATION: Jimmy's Place (1623 San Fernando Rd. Burbank, 91504)
We don't always recommend traveling outside the city to see a rock and roll show, especially one promoting acoustics sets. This one is different. L.A. band Yours Cruelly, led by the voluptuous female pirate Madelyne Cruelly, is always a sure bet. Variety is the spice of life and seeing the trio in acoustic form gives this gig a go.
