#livemusic #capegirardeau #midwest New Scout Session in the wild from Fox Royale! Get the full action here: https://youtu.be/3_OfJveWt1k The Joplin four-piece returned to Cape to join the likes of Elvis and Metallica, laying down a few tracks at the historic A.C. Brase Arena and detouring through the partial haunted house beneath the stage.* BIG love to the amazing folks who made this Session happen and keep bringing you Music from the Middle: 🎷 Shivelbines Music for the equipment and trust to employ it well. 🌮 El Sol Mexican Restaurant for the taco fuel and endless tortilla chips. 🌳 Cape Girardeau Parks & Recreation for the stage and hospitality. 🖤 Each Scout Ambassador who showed up and showed love. *We can’t confirm The King partook in the haunted house bit, but he definitely played the stage in 1955.
