Music Update: June 17th, 2010

It's officially locked down--the one and only KERRI CHANDLER is making his way out to the West Coast for our 4th of July event. It's been a long time coming for Kerri to come play his first Stompy event, and we're giddy with excitement that its happening for Stompy/Sunset's "IndepenDance".
