Welcome to Thursday, and night 4 of the Rock and Roll Rumble. After a night off, the Preliminary round continues with 4 more bands from diverse musical backgrounds, representing Boston’s music scene in all its glory. One of the great things about the Rumble is that each night of the competition there’s something for everyone. And of course, “competition” is a term used loosely. It’s a showcase, a celebration. Come down to support your favorite band or experience some of Boston’s top bands of today playing their very best. Well worth the money, time and effort – come on down.
