The Green Reflectors at Guitar Fest VII
Guitar Fest — the yearly rock n’ roll/surf/rockabilly twang party hosted by the Urban Surf Kings – features a solid lineup this year, including Brad Conrad, The Shakedown Combo, The Fabulous Venturamas and the Whiskey Kisses. We’re particularly excited to see The Green Reflectors — two severely talented young brothers from Bridgewater with a penchant for good old-fashioned surf anthems and Link Wray-styled guitar acrobatics. The show takes place Friday at the Seahorse for $8, and the Green Reflectors will be on first at 10pm. Go early.
