JUNE ARTS ALIVE! Arts Alive this month was literally a rocking good time with The Screaming Knight Leeches! This local 5-piece group brought the heat with classic covers and amazing original music, and packed the house with friends, family, and groups on the Arts Alive walk for the evening. Playing two 45-minute sets, they brought the energy that only live music can produce, and we’re very grateful to have so many talented musicians in our community!
