"The Blues for Harvey & Irma Hurricane Benefit
Ahoy shipmates, the USS Nevermore is back in port and being refitted for future deployments south next month. We are taking a much needed vacation this month but have some great shows still to play before we head out. Most important is our benefit to help our friends and neighbors affected by the hurricanes.
