Socorro's Own Vigilante Band

UNCLE DAVE'S LARGE BAND, 49ERS, THREE NIGHTS ONLY, OCT. 12th, 13th and 14th, 2023 AT THE CAP!

Back in the Day, Bo Putnam and Dave Thomas had a little group called "Uncle Dave's Band" which frequented places like the Rathskellar.
We're getting the group back together, once again! More Players, more Tunes, more Fun!

That's right, Uncle Dave's Extra-Large Band will be playing The Cap on Thursday October 12th, Friday October the 13th, and Saturday October 14th, 2023 to celebrate 49ers! This large band includes several former members of the Vigilante Band, along with "The Wrecking Crew," comprising several wonderous guest musicians, for three evenings of danceable acoustic renditions of Americana, Bluegrass, Country and even some Trucker’s songs.

This is NOT a Vigilante Band reunion, nor are we playing their song list.
That said, we hope TVB fans will not be disappointed…
