Mike Scaccia’s Birthday is June 14th… so we figured there would be no better way to honor the man than a Tribute Show on his actual Birthday.

We will also have video tributes to Mike showing throughout the night and playing the music of Mike Scaccia in between bands… including cuts from the new Rigor Mortis album. Plus an AMAZING Raffle with all kinds of guitars, band merch etc to giveaway that national bands from all over are donating for this event.
