‼️‼️‼️‼️

The muster may be canceled, but our final performance isn’t!

Grab your instruments and join us Friday night under the tent at the Wayside Inn in Sudbury. Grand Republic will kick things off with our final performance at 7:00 pm, followed by an informal jam session until 11.

It may not be the ending we planned, but it’s shaping up to be a pretty memorable one. Come hear us one last time, stick around to play some tunes, and be able to say you were there!
