Uncle Ben's Remedy musical performance
2018-03-24 21:00 - 23:00 | Three Heads Brewing, 186 Atlantic Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
Uncle Ben's Remedy was the sleeper show of the year in 2017. I knew they were uptempo Americana with a touch of country and rock. But you just cannot truly get it until you see them live. They threw in some of the craziest covers you could imagine, got into the crowd for an unexpected unplugged acoustic 3 song set, had their bass player play his upright over his head….it was a spectacle. But on top of that, they have incredible amounts of talent and are great players.
