MORE ON FREE Concert Thursday Night:
Hunker Down is a hard driving acoustic band that is carving a new sound while paying respect to the traditions that came before them. Their music is spicy blend of many influences that they have decided to dub “stewed rompgrass.” Hunker Down fans have become accustomed to high energy shows that lift spirits and leave bodies sore from dancing so hard. The group has grown to five members, though any combination of players has been known to rock its share of crowds.
