Farewell to TT Reynolds

Gass — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 17:57:43 +0000

TT Reynolds in heart of Fairfax, VA is closing its doors at the end of July after decades of providing a stage for local original music. To us, and countless other bands over the years, TT’s has been so much more than just a bar. It has been an atmosphere of friendship and camaraderie – with bands and fans and staff. TT Reynolds will truly be missed. So…

Help us say farewell to TT Reynolds with our final show at this very special venue!

Saturday, July 5th

On Sunday night, we’ll be playing at Growlers in Gaithersburg, MD as part of their Original S.I.N. Sundays series. They have some great bar specials ($2.50 Miller Lite/Bud Light bottles) and it is guaranteed to rock.
