November Events
Great shows, workshops and jam sessions! 
Shows

Friday, November 12, 8pm FREE show featuring Rose's Pawn Shop at the
Red Dog Saloon in Virginia City.  Described as, "the foot-stomping strains of Appalachian bluegrass channeled through a rock band."
It's humbling and pretty neat to see traditional American music being respected by kids........although they DO make it their own!  Heck, it's a free show, and the pizza at the Red Dog is GREAT!  See ya there!
