Thank You Merle

We lost one of the greats and one of our heroes today, April 6, 2016. We had the pleasure of having Merle Haggard play Riot Fest in Chicago in 2015. He and his crew were nothing but amazing. Definitely some great stories that we may share at another time, but for now, we just want to say..

THANK YOU MERLE HAGGARD. RIP.
