Listen Up! With Mark Howard (2019)
The Second Wedge
Due to an unfortunate and unplanned scheduling conflict, we learned that Mark Howard would no longer be able to attend our Listen Up event. We were so very sorry to be the bearer of bad news!
However, the show did go on! We had a great band lined up, and guests’ ticket will still include a 12oz pour of limited edition Book Drunkard beer made just for the night by The Second Wedge. And as our apology, we offered a FREE copy of Listen Up to all ticket holders. As was our hope, guests still joined us for a fun evening of good music and good beer. We had Uxbridge’s hottest band lined up, The Good Hour, and host Tim Deegan was on hand to present highlights from Mark’s career, promising a great night exploring iconic music.
We were happy to process a refund for guests who contacted us about their ticket. We apologize to all concerned for the inconvenience this may have caused and thank our guests for their continued support of our inaugural festival.
Calling all music lovers, beer drinkers, and anyone who loves to have a good time!
Come listen to a live band play some of the music Mark Howard has helped to create! The Second Wedge is launching their first ever lager, specially named The Book Drunkard beer! This event promises to be loads of fun and you don’t want to miss out. Your ticket includes a $10 book coupon and a 12-oz pour of The Book Drunkard beer.
