Steve, the owner of Liberty Heights Tap Room, was telling me a couple months ago that Care Bears on Fire was great band.

At the time, I had never heard of them at the time and now it seems that they are everywhere (and getting great reviews).

The band got good reviews for last week's show at Pianos and this appears to be their last show for a while (the band members are off to camp??).

Here are the details on the show:
