Tail Light Rebellion Backs It Into Scotty's

Get out the door to see and hear what's really happening at Scotty's Lounge.

Sunday, Dec. 17

Rust Belt-hewn folk/punk/roots-rock and other wild sounds, intimately presented times three at the Erie music scene's most-favorite martini and cigar bar: Sounds like a Sunday fun-day (er, night) to us, alright.

It's shows like this — seemingly tucked away on a quiet night, in a seemingly quiet place — that often end up being some of the best of the best.

Scotty's Martini Lounge is the place. Sunday, Dec. 17 is the date. And what's happening there and then are performances by visitors from afar — Memphis-based Tail Light Rebellion; friends from nearby — Broke Boland; and what may be sound-makers from another planet — Gabba Ghoulies.

It's shows like this — seemingly tucked away on a quiet night, in a seemingly quiet place — that often end up being some of the best of the best (and anything — everything — but quiet).

So clear that Sunday night binge-watching schedule out, and get out the door to see and hear what's really happening at Scotty's Lounge.
