Barley Street Tavern is a last call bar — a great place to throw the last one back, wrap a few hugs around old friends, and sing along with the final band. A delayed flight allowed me to see only the last band at the OEAA showcase July 8. Alt-country rockers The Big Deep were keeping eyes and ears awake with their lively show.
Tightly packed on the small stage, the band ripped a set of fun riffs packed with stories of romantic pratfalls and late-night existential philosophy sessions. It was the perfect end to my long day. This set helped The Big Deep win the last local MAHA Music Festival spot.
