It's a carnival mirror: Nebraska musicians take turns covering a song by another Nebraska musician of their choice. Decide for yourself how they reflect. The Renfields covering Zager and Evans; Son of 76 covering Triggertown; South of Lincoln covering It's True. You don't want to miss this. 

 

The show starts Friday at 8 p.m. at the Zoo Bar. And it costs a measly $5 to see 21 bands. All proceeds go to support Hear Nebraska's mission. Charlie Johnson and Brent O'Neil at the Zoo will be recording the entire show for an upcoming HN album.

 

Special thanks to SadSon Music Group for providing the backline.
