Livestream From Waldmanns
Time: 7:00 pm
Hi friends---like everyone else, we're staying home and staying safe. One exception: we have a live-stream gig this Sunday night at 7 pm CST at our beloved Waldmann's Brewery in Saint Paul! Join Dunquin on your computer or phone as we play the St Patrick's Day set we didn't get to play anywhere else this March. You can hear and see us on Waldmann's website: www.waldmannbrewery.com is the place! And if you can't be there in front of your screen at that time, I believe they plan to archive their concerts somewhere online (check their website). Music will help get us through this!
