On Friday, October 3, from 9pm-1am, the Gonzalo Bergara Trio (Gonzalo Bergara on guitar, Jeff Radaich on guitar, and Beau Sample on bass) from Los Angeles will open for Madison's Harmonious Wail (Maggie Delaney-Potthoff on vocals and percussion, Sims Delaney-Potthoff on mandolin, tenor guitar, ukulele, and vocals, Matt Rodgers on string bass, David Adler on melodica & percussion (conga), and Henry Delaney-Potthoff on guitar.
