City to City Apparel Hosts Show at The Watering Hole Cafe

On Sunday, February 19, City to City Apparel is hosting a show at The Watering Hole Cafe in Mays Landing, NJ.  City to City Apparel is a clothing brand that works closely with several local bands to collaborate on creative ideas and style.  They have become a staple in the South Jersey music community.  The show is scheduled to open at 5:30pm and the first band is scheduled to start playing at 6:00pm.  The diverse line-up should make for an exciting night of music.

City to City Apparel will be releasing new shirt designs for discounted prices at the show.  Each band has their own style and originality to the lineup.  Most bands have recently released new music – like Parkwood’s most recent EP entitled ‘Selfish’ which was released at the end of summer 2016 – and Old City Revival’s split with New Jersey band Crash Landing, which was released in December.  Each band is different, and absolutely worth seeing live, so come early, support local music, and have a great time!
