ALBUM REVIEW: Dig On by She Keeps Bees
She Keeps Bees plays smoldering, gorgeous, alt-folk rock with a bluesy, rhythmic feel. This powerful, Brooklyn-based duo creates an incredibly resonant, full sound with only guitar, drums and vocals.

While we can’t imagine a more awesome (and fun!) lineup to hit the Hip Kitty stage (SAVAGE REPUBLIC, DESPERATION SQUAD, DUDE MIRROR, WCKR SPGT AND SAM MCPHEETERS!), your $20 admission will also go to a very important cause (from the Facebook event page): “As some of you may know, our dear friend Kara Engel has been battling breast cancer and her talented friends want to bring us all together to help her and her family with the financial burden and to show our love and support for Kara. As cancer has affected us, our friends and our family in one way or another, we all know how important these events are. Our support and… coming together will mean so much to Kara and her family.”
