The Daze Between Band will add a new chapter to its growing lore on Wednesday, May 3rd, 2023 at New Orleans, LA’s Tipitina’s.

Newcomers Rick Mitarotonda (guitar/vocals) and Peter Anspach (keys/guitar/vocals) of Goose round out the official lineup for what is sure to be another unforgettable performance.
