This is the second annual Soozapalooza -- an excuse to throw a big party a few day safter my birthday. And it's a whole lot of awesome rock + roll. :) I hope you can join me! We'll also celebrate my music guide + blog Exploit Boston! turning nine years old (and it's triumphant return to the Internets.) Proceeds from the night will help Exploit Boston! Radio return to the internet airwaves. http://exploitboston.com

Featuring the Soozapalooza Supergroup, an all-star cast of Boston musicians getting together to cover a handful of songs. Mistle Thrush, the first Boston band I became a fan of when I moved to Boston in 1994 is joining us for a special performance. Their first in eight years!
