🚨🚨IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR 979❌ LISTENERS:

We’re incredibly disappointed to share that, due to severe weather conditions in the Midwest affecting air travel across the country, we must postpone tomorrow’s Free Beer and Hot Wings shows at The Ritz Theater.

This is completely outside of our control. We worked diligently to rebook travel, but unfortunately, there are no options available that would allow the guys to arrive in time for the scheduled performances.

THE GOOD NEWS: We will be rescheduling the shows in the coming months! As soon as we coordinate a new date with Free Beer & Hot Wings and our venue partner, we’ll let you know.

IF YOU HAVE TICKETS – PLEASE HOLD ONTO THEM! They will be honored for the rescheduled shows.

We appreciate your patience, understanding, and ongoing support. Stay tuned here and on-air for updates!
