Review by William Simpson Nashville got sent back in time to the 80’s on Wednesday, May 1st, when Steel Panther rocked Marathon Music Works.

Review by Jennifer Reid It’s beginning to look alot like Christmas; thanks to Brian Setzer. He, along with his 18 piece orchestra, seized The Joint at Hard Rock Casino in Tulsa on December 13, 2012.
