To celebrate, Aquabear is hosting a FREE all Ohio vinyl party at Little Fish Brewing Company (8675 Armitage Road) in Athens on Saturday, Jan. 14 from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Spinning all sorts of Ohio music will be Athens legend DJ Barticus, Aquabear’s own 29th Street Flash, Haffa’s Records’ DJ Manfish and a visit from Uncle Peacock.

The group just launched an Indiegogo page to fund the project through a pre-order, featuring not only the record release but also limited edition posters, colored vinyl, and more. You can support this project and Ohio music and art right now by visiting aquabearlegion.com or the project’s Indiegogo page. You will also be able to support and pre-order that night at Little Fish, and Aquabear will buy beers for the first 10 supporters at $30 or above. Order an awesome record, support Ohio music, listen to sweet music and let Aquabear buy you a beer!
