Good Riddance from the Flaw: Matt Witler farewell concert -- Coffee Gallery Backstage Tuesday

Dear Patrons of the Arts:


You won't want to miss this one.

We're sending mando whiz Matt Witler off to the wilds of Boston, Mass., to serve a four-year sentence at the Berklee School of Music, where we hope he'll develop a little respect for the five-string banjo.

For the occasion,  Matt's gathered some all-star pickers: Mando master Evan Marshall, plus Matt's buddies Patrick Gunning and Scott Gates. Other special guests are likely to stop by and lend their voices and instruments to the Witlerian cause, and the Flaw will end the night with a parade of their biggest YouTube hits.

The whole evening kicks off at 8 p.m. Tuesday Aug. 17 at Coffee Gallery Backstage, 2029 N. Lake Ave., Altadena. Be sure to call them at (626) 794-2424 to get on the reservation list. It's going to be an outstanding night for roots music lovers!

Just think -- you can say to your grandchildren that you were there the night Matt Witler went off to college. $15 at the door for bragging rights like that -- well, it's a bargain, pure and simple....and a little piece of musical history.
