The Opening Force: Eddy & The Dirty Boys

The band’s lineup features snarling vocals, punchy guitar work, and a rhythm section that keeps the set moving like a dusty highway bar on a Saturday night. The group channels raw influences from classic rock and bar-room anthems, and their live set has earned new fans on every stop this tour
