Bethan
Thursday, August 30, at Common Table
Local
singer Jessi James is folk-pop act Bethan, and this is one of the few chances to hear and see a legitimate saw player. Did I
mention this show will be free? Also, Common Table has one of the best
beer selections in town.
Chris Isaak

on television was Full House.
