It’s been a big week and it’s only Wednesday – but if you’re looking for a real end-of-week-Friday-night to bring the house down, you just found it! 

Pink Zinc Presents is playing the Rails and it’s party, party, party. This dynamic four-piece band comprises members from a collective of musicians that will have you shaking your moneymaker to their groove. Whether it’s rock, funk, pop or blues that you dig, they’ve got it and they flaunt it.
