CMC/WYCE 2/6/09

Wealthy Theatre's Peter Wege Auditorium was home to more great local music last night (2/6/09) courtesy of WYCE 88.1FM and Community Media Center (CMC) as Tomas Esparza and Delilah DeWylde filled the room with high-energy blues, country and western music.  This was the final "Pre-Jammies" jam before the big event 2/17 at The Intersection (but you can still see some Jammies artist at our 2/10 "Shine On!" concert).
