Black Friday is about to be crazy 🔥

When we started Hilltop, was a huge inspiration for us… they were the local jam band crushing it around the Northeast and they really had their s**t together in a way that we could barely wrap our heads around. We were beyond disappointed to learn about their break up years ago!

Announcing this gig feels surreal, like we’re living in an alternate universe 🪐We’re so happy to share that we’re opening for the reunion of on Black Friday at … we’ll be ready to play a ripping opening set for this one!
