The seventh and final OC Music Awards showcase features Entice, the New Limb (which we recently reviewed), Stereofix (which we recently interviewed), Dusty Rhodes and the River Band as well as the Color Turning competing in the Best Live Band Category.
Entice open the showcase with a performance at 8 p.m. in place of Duress, which had to drop out after their drummer welcomed a baby into the world last night. The event, like the previous six showcases, is free. Gypsy Lounge is a 21 and over venue.
