3rd Street Garage

7pm Friday

3rd Street Garage rolls out bands that roil just underneath the crust of mainstream rock music, encompassing modern bands that mix rockabilly, blues, R&B, surf rock, frat rock, psychedelia, hard rock and pop that retain the raw rock and roll spirit of the original garage rockers.  We pull them up, polish them off and let them shine as the gems that they are.  We also dust off lesser known and overlooked nuggets from some legendary bands.
