Come out to JJ’s Bohemia TONIGHT to watch The Weeks up close and personal… this will probably be one of the last times to see them perform at arm’s reach.
This southern rock-garage/indie band originated in Jackson, Mississippi and is now calling Nashville, TN their home. Pulling the sounds of southern-blues, rock-n-roll and old-school country together to develop a dominant sound of genre infusion. We can see very large venues in this band’s future.
