Birthday Bash on Route 66: Five Bands at Moonlight Lounge

Five bands on one bill for a birthday party almost always means short sets and a room full of people who already know each other, which can go either way depending on how welcoming the crowd runs. The Moonlight Lounge’s Downtown location keeps it accessible from most of Central, and a late start means this is a second-stop kind of night rather than the anchor. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so grab them ahead if you’re not in Benjamin’s circle and want to guarantee entry.
