The Goldfinch Room

Last night's concert was one for the books!

The Goldfinch Room Songwriter Showcase continues at Reiman Gardens through August, so grab your lawn chairs and join us for the remaining three shows 😎🎼

We had a delightful time last night for The Goldfinch Room at Reiman Gardens. Buz brought the mandolin and mustache, Danny brought the bass lines and calves, and I tagged along with surgery puncture wounds and most of the lyrics. Danny Russell Wolf is at London Underground tonight, Ames!
