The 2nd Annual Tri-State Indie Awards at World Café Live Feb. 17

The good folks at Tri-State Indie are back with their 2nd Annual Tri-State Indie Awards at World Café Live tonight. It’s going to be a long day of drinking so hopefully everyone has Monday off. There will be a pre-party upstairs with free food and beer provided by Starr Hill Brewing Company as well as performances by Aaron Brown, Cheers Elephant, The Lawsuits and Kuf Knotz. Then, you’ll be heading downstairs for a little red carpet treatment to find out who are this year’s winners intermingled with sets from Cold Fronts, Levee Drivers, Nicos Gun, New Sweden, Sweet Leda and Dirk Quinn Band, the house band for the eveening. Hosttng the event is Ron Gallo from Toy Soldiers. If potentially drinking for 7 hours isn’t enough for you, there will also be an after-party at the Ruba Club to help assure that anyone who does have work the next day won’t be making it in. Pace yourselves people. Cheers! World Café Live, 3025 Walnut St., 3:30pm (pre-party), 6pm (award showcase), $10 – $20 (+processing fee), All Ages – H.M. Kauffman
