Local band American Scarecrows is celebrating their 10 year anniversary of their record Yesteryear.

Of course, we were there for them, 10 years ago, catching the group in Oct 2014 and writing, “The first of four bands, American Scarecrows drew in a lot of local supports from their fans, friends and family. Their brief set included tracks from their latest Yesteryear and their debut album Keep Your Devils Around. The full setlist: “Outskirts (Buried in the Sound)”, “Depending On The Weather”, “Cannon Canyon”, “Gods of the West”, “The Peak”, “Cheshire”, and “Stay The Same”.”
