This matinee performance will mark the return of The Outcrops to the Lizzie Rose Music Room. Their debut at the Lizzie Rose last year showcased a band that had all the ingredients to be something special. Their return will prove that they have continued to elevate their game and will deliver a stellar evening of jams. The addition of a keyboard player fills up their arrangements and adds a whole new dimension to their sound. They deliver a perfect mix of songs from their new album and some very cool covers. To expound on that thought a bit, they usually drop the iconic jam "Sissy Strut" by proving they can get down with the funk.

Fortunately, he doesn't need to do that because his compositional skills are a match for his delivery."
