BSBB live in Racine, WI

It’s been a minute since we’ve been back to Racine, WI, the stomping grounds of our legendary sax man Nolan Thomas. But man are we excited. We’ll be at the historic George’s Encore in downtown Racine near the lake. “Established in 1946, this old-school watering hole is known for its live entertainment and recently added kitchen serving brisket, BBQ, and more.” Grab some food, grab a drink, and enjoy some NOLA sounds with Brew City style.

Our show time is still TBA at the moment so check back here or on social media for updates.
