Description

Girls Guns & Glory and Annabelle's Curse perform at Border Bash on May 20 in historic downtown Bristol. Border Bash features live music on select Friday nights from May to August. Evening events start with children's activities, crafters, and concessions at 6PM. Live music begins at 7PM - FREE to the public.

Girls Guns & Glory blends a variety of sonic concoctions under the umbrella of Americana. Their country twang mixed with the genuine sentiment of rock and folk captures the attention of all listeners who can appreciate catchy, yet thoughtful tunes. Girls Guns & Glory formed in Boston, Massachusetts in the winter of 2005 and entered Noise in the Attic Studios just 3 weeks after their formation to begin work on their debut CD "Fireworks and Alcohol." In 3 short years GG&G has released 3 critically acclaimed full-length albums and have performed in hundreds of shows and festivals all over New England, the East Coast, Midwest and Southwest. They are currently touring behind their third album, "Inverted Valentine."

Since their beginning at the start of March 2010, local band Annabelle's Curse has made tremendous headway. This kinetic act, formed of only a three piece ensemble (now a four piece) has been featured in Johnson City's Blue Plum Festival (June 2010) and just within the same year in Bristol's own Rhythm and Roots Reunion (September 2010). Although they are young, they are pushing the bar musically and refusing to be complacent with the current standard set on the music of our time.
