There’s a lot to like about the annual RFT Music Showcase put on by our city’s alt-weekly:

• Instant camaraderie with fellow show-goers  who are also boppin’ around on foot looking at schedules and rushing to different bars/venues to see their favorites.
• Numerous cell phone concert photo-taking opportunities, since many of your choice acts will be playing in *broad daylight* or in well-lit bars!
• Day drinking, if that’s your thing.
• New band discoveries thanks to being in the right place at the right time.
• Exploration of local businesses that you might not have stumbled into otherwise.
• Fourteen solid hours of St. Louis music good enough to be nominated for RFT Music Awards.

All that to say, someone at the Riverfront Times emailed us and was all, “Hey do you want to help promote this show by schlepping these tickets for us at a $5 discount to your fans and followers?” And we were like, “Yeah, thanks for thinking of us.” 

So that’s our whole deal: If you’d like, follow this link to buy tickets and enter SHOWSTL in the promo code area to get a $5 discount.  

The performance schedule for the 2014 RFT Music Showcase has been released, and it all happens on Saturday, June 7th in the Grove.
