Show announcement—8/23 with Joshua Polk, Kozmic Nod

The Widowers are performing live with our good friends Joshua Polk and Kozmic Nod Friday, August 23 at Chelsea's Cafe. Doors open at 9 p.m. Music starts around 10:30 p.m. 

The show is the first in a weekend slate of shows for the Exploding God Heads compilation, which is called River Hymns. 

The compilation features tunes from The Widowers, and we heard that Secret Annexe, Childrens Church, Joshua Polk, Kozmic Nod, and many others will be on it. It should be a great release. We'll have the link for you as soon as we have it.
