Fargo's Queen of the Blues - The Deb Jenkins Band

When the HoDo first opened, the Deb Jenkins Band was one of first, if not THE first, acts to play in our lounge. Over five years later, Deb and Co. are still going strong.

Deb's efforts haven't stopped at being one of the most in-demand acts in the F-M area; she writes a food column for the High Plains Reader and is currently organizing the Celebration of Women and Their Music, an event that has been gaining popularity since 1998 (you can read about last year's event here).

Stop in and hear blues and soul by a stalwart of our community tomorrow night at 8 p.m. No cover, 21+.

Flatlands, *Not* Flat Earth Theorists

Flatlands may hail from a flat place, but they do consider the world to be round.
