By Carly Callahan
staff Writer
Can you believe your ears? This Sunday,
Feb. 19, you won’t be able to deny them
any longer because Blair Crimmins & The
Hookers will be here in Brevard!
Get ready for the sexy, cool, and crazy
sounds of a ragtime piano and a gypsy jazz
guitar! This is definitely going to be a show
you won’t want to miss out on.
Even if you have never heard of this band,
as many people I’ve asked haven’t, it’s love
at first listen for many.
So put on your dancing shoes and 1920s
swag and get ready for a night filled with an
upbeat all around amazing sound!
The gig will begin at 8 p.m. Sunday in
Dunham Auditorium. Admission is free.
