Alexandria Music Project Presents “The Can Kickers”

Alexandria Music Project (also known as AMP), a non-profit organization committed to bringing quality music to Alexandria, is proud to announce its first-ever house concert.

On Wednesday, February 21, AMP will present The Can Kickers, a three-piece folk rock jam band (think Americana jigs) from New London, Connecticut. They describe themselves as “Old-timey riot music for dancing.”

Mark your calendars. Downtown Alexandria at Alex 1805, 8PM.

The opening act will be Alexandria’s own Cozy and the Pony.

The Can Kickers are about to set off on a national tour, and this will be their first time in Alexandria. They’re a phenomenal band, “a get on your feet and dance” band, and in keeping with AMP’s mission statement, this will truly be an excellent opportunity to see quality music without having to drive out of town.

The concert will be open to the public. Tickets are $10 for non-members and $5 for members.

In addition to this house concert, AMP will be putting on two more shows, one in the spring and one in the fall. The more members, the better the talent.
