Once again, the Hometown Heroes series at SPACE Gallery was a great moment in local music.

Thanks so much to Leif, who put together an unforgettable event. Expect to see and hear more from this incredible night (and more…) in the future. And who knows, maybe we’ll even see some of these bands show up again, if we’re lucky.
