by Anna Reed
June 27, 2018
We're excited for today's Oake & Riley in the Afternoon event at the Hewing Hotel's Tullibee featuring Dwynell Roland. Consider stopping by and seeing what happens when we put on a rap show in a hotel lobby!
Dwynell will be performing at 6:30 pm, but the event starts at 4 pm with music, hanging with Jill and Brian, and fun and games with Sean with the chance to win awesome prizes including Current and Rock the Garden merch and tickets to Courtney Barnett at Surly on July 21.
And for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, let us know what songs you want to hear that mention a hotel/motel/etc.
