TRASHCAN SINATRASat Amsterdam Bar and Hall
Thursday 10/12/2017 (7pm/$20)
amsterdambarandhall.com
Beloved Scottish band The Trashcan Sinatras (aka Trash Can Sinatras) will be touring in the US as a 3-piece acoustic band (Frank Reader, Paul Livingston and John Douglas). The group celebrated their 30th anniversary, having formed in Irvine, Scotland in 1987.
There are no opening bands listed, but that shouldn’t be a problem for the TCS, as they have over six albums and hundreds of songs to choose from. We’ve seen the band before, and noted that they tend to change their setlist night, after night.
If you miss the show or want to re-live the show, the band will immediately make the show (recorded from the soundboard) available on exclusive Trashcan Sinatras USB for purchase.
