WTIM friends Special Guest Villains, Jim Meck, The Youngers, Big Daddy & The Fender Benders and Chestnut Grove will all be playing the first shows of 2016to welcome what I believe is going to be one of the best local music years yet. While we are welcoming a new year we will also be bidding a hearty Good Luck and Goodbye to Jim Meck, who is heading west to Washington State to attend the Lighthouse for the Blind for a year. Jim was one of the first local musicians to jump on the WTIM band wagon and kept me in listings for a long time (at one point, at least according to my tallies, Jim was the busiest act in Berks County). Thank You! So for one last time, ROCK ON! See you in 2016!
