604 Records’ One Bad Son return to Doc’s

If the greatest rock and roll stories need an underdog, then One Bad Son is the Rocky Balboa of modern rock…With an over the top live show drawing comparisons to bands like the Who, Zeppelin, and Guns n Roses, and a writing style in the vein of Soundgarden and Thin Lizzy, the band is finally getting the attention it deserves after years of developing their live show, honing their songwriting, and taking the road less traveled.
