Stopped by a bar late to catch up with a friend and there's a crowd and a band that apparently plays here every Saturday to a comparable crowd.

Problem is, they're awful. Out of pocket, off key and loud.

But apparently they have a loyal following.

You guys have any similar local bands where you live?

Local boys made good.

This is just a local band that has a hundred or so people turn out to see them every time they play for some unknown reason.

Their songs are catchy and fun to sing along with. Kevin Griffin is a very talented songwriter, and he's funny and a good performer. Their live shows are fun, they goof around and interact with the audience.

What's not to love?

If you're not listening to Benji Davis, you're doing it wrong
