Ha Ha Tonka w/ Ellison Jackson 2/8/12 BAR

Unpolished opener EJ almost forced an early departure. It wasn't that they were bad, they had some good ideas just needed some practice. The keyboard player would not have looked out of place in the high school pep band. Ha Ha Tonka was a different animal entirely. I see them billed on most of the major SE festivals. Kind of a Lynyrd Skynyrd meets power pop ethos. Two guitars, bass and drums with occasional sweet mandolin, this was a road-worthy band.
