When Bassist Eric Harris parted ways with Ohio coven-thrashers SKELETONWITCH, he went west. There he founded the proggy, neu-southern, and just plain rock n fuckin roll GYPSYHAWK. Unbelievably tight, melodic, harmonic, and balls out, GYPSYHAWK is one of the best rock n roll bands out there. Don't miss this show with Brooklyn hair farmers NATUR, Maine shredders HESSIAN, and NOLA blackened doom acolytes HIGH PRIEST.

Finally! We've been trying to get our good buddy and songwriter extrordinaire FLETCHER C JOHNSON to play at the Acheron since we opened, and at long last he's gonna do it this coming Wednesday, April 20th. Fletcher's hooky, catchy, bouncy folk pop is infectious to say the least, and we're ecstatic he's gonna play a show for us. And just as hard to get on our stage, but equally as amazing is THE GODDAMN RATTLESNAKE, featuring members of ACID TIGER and SEXY CRIMES. Raw ass honkey tonk. Opening this cavalcade of country is Rev. Brandon Hayes, who croons in the style of all your favorites. Come on out and get stoked!
