Festival Salon: Meet your Band

Festival Salon: Meet Your Band
Featuring local bands

A Bonn-based band or jam session you probably don’t know yet—but should. Bands that are (still) considered insider picks, known through word of mouth, and who will introduce themselves this evening: a few songs from their setlist followed by an open discussion. Moderated—questions welcome!

What to bring: a healthy dose of curiosity—that’s all!
