The Nellies Return To Carmen’s Cafe for the Troy Victorian Stroll
—amazing alt-country band brings their friends
The Nellies get into the spirit of the party as they bring their freinds for a rotating lineup, a reunion of some of the most remarkable players and singers you’ve ever seen. They enjoy music and it shows. 2-6 pm
