Wake The Street plays the Coach House June 21
Wake the Street is coming back to play a local show at The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano on Sat, June 21
Wake the Street is a local band from Dana Point started in 2009. Wake the Street’s pop vocals and catchy lyrics mixed with the complete sound of the band seems to have the power to get you up and moving.
The high energy of the crunchy electric guitar, punchy bass and drum fills completes the sound of band. With such great personality and performance enthusiasm Wake the Street is a band not to miss!
The boys will be playing their first show together in two years, and will be joined by other local musicians and close friends, Thatwasthen, Hey Jyosh and Bent Jetty.
