Known for their catchy ’90s hits like “Santa Monica,” “Father of Mine,” and “I Will Buy You a New Life,”, Everclear promises a high-energy performance that you won’t want to miss. “We’re just very grateful that we’re guys in our 50s and 60s and we’re out playing rock ‘n’ roll,” Alexakis added. With no gimmicks or fancy tricks, expect a raw, authentic rock experience!
