Athens’ own indie pop rockers Clubhouse performed at The Union Bar Thursday, March 24. Last weekend the group was named winners of Firefly Music Festival’s Big Break Global Contest, which means that the outfit will be sharing the June 15-18 bill with the likes of Bob Dylan, The Shins, Muse, Chance the Rapper, The Weeknd and many other internationally recognized acts.

Check out these photos of the group’s hometown performance, taken by WOUB’s Nickolas Oatley.
