Rockin’ the Barn
The Rockin’ Iguanas had a great time at the Larson’s Barn 50th Anniversary. The Jolly Zuk Brothers opened up early. They are an absolutely first rate polka band and tons of fun! Got the place polkaing like crazy, in the 50 year Larson Barn tradition.
After our 3 hour set, folks were treated to Ramona Fritz, a first rate rock and country outfit. Also tons of fun!
Here are the Rockin’ Iguanas doing our best to keep it going. Special thanks to Andy Whittet filling in on drums while John G. gets back on his feet. John said the show must go on, and so it did!
