The Allies Pub

SOUL POSSE is so high-energy, they can’t help but spell their name in ALL CAPS. If you can’t dance, then just sing-a-long to classic tunes from past decades. And, if you can’t make it to Thursday eve at The Allies Pub, then you can see them Sunday afternoon at Paradise Brew Werks (formerly Secret Trail). Either way, this five‑piece band delivers a dance party. Free entrance to both events. Check the CN&R calendar for more information.
