American Babies: Alumni Holiday Show Tonight in NYC

GOOD TIMES AT BROOKLYN BOWL THIS EVENING

American Babies

The American Babies are playing an “Alumni Holiday Show” at Brooklyn Bowl in New York tonight, December 27. This is doubling as a holiday celebration and a Welcome Home party for AB’s leader Tom Hamilton‘s brother Jim – the original bassist for the Babies – who just finished up a year long tour of duty in Afghanistan. For this event American Babies will have Joe Russo (Furthur), Eric Slick (Dr Dog), and current Babies drummer Dave Butler sharing two drum kits. The bass duties are being split up between Jim Hamilton, Dave Dreiwitz (Ween) and current Babies bassist Nick Bockrath. The band is rounded out by Adam Flicker on keys and Scott Metzger and Tom Hamilton on guitars. The Babies will be rocking old stuff, new stuff and a “shit ton of covers.”
