GSL Beer Choir Summer Sing | 6:30-8:30 PM @ Epic Brewing, 825 S State St, SLC. Event by Beer Choir - Great Salt Lake Chapter: "Join us for our first ever show at Epic Brewing in their brand new bar and patio space. We are the choir that sings while drinking beer. No audition necessary. No arduous rehearsals. No membership fees. No awkwardly boxy and uncomfortable concert attire. Come as you are and make noise with us once a month at a local watering hole. Drink or don’t drink–it’s no matter to us. We bring the music-you bring your voice. We’ll warm up with our Beer Choir Hymnal drinking tunes and then croon to those 'Summer Nights' with some seasonally-themed sing-alongs. Follow us on Instagram or Facebook (@gslbeerchoir) or sign up for our newsletter on our website (gslbeerchoir.com) for updates. We can't wait to SING RESPONSIBLY with you! The best way to do that safely is always to plan a sober ride home so we can see you at many more events."
