SOP Provo: ABG Libation Emporium

Though Provo, Utah, has a lot going on musically, it has only one place to see bands and enjoy an alcoholic drink. On the next World Cafe, meet John-Ross Boyce, who books the bands at that venue, ABGs Libation Emporium. He will give you an inside look at what it is like being part of the fabric that supports the Provo music scene, as World Cafe continues the Sense of Place: Provo series.

Listen to the session here.
