Pepper at Vinyl Music Hall
March 21
For Pepper, two decades have gone by in a blur, filled with soundchecks, encores, album releases and sold-out shows stretching from the California coastline to the UK mainland. Along the way, Pepper has sharpened its own "Kona dub-rock" sound— a blend of reggae, alternative rock, island rhythms, and punky spirit— while also building a community of fans and likeminded bands. Now Pepper will be bringing their sound to the walls of Pensacola’s own Vinyl Music Hall. Pepper will be stopping by Pensacola on March 21 as a part of their “20 Years of Kona Town” tour. Doors open at 7 pm and the show begins at 8 pm. Tickets start at $25. For tickets and more information, visit vinylmusichall.com.
