There are a lot of big concerts this Saturday night in the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection, but I seriously doubt that anyone else will be able to bring the party quite like LA-based Power Disco 7-piece, Cobra Man, led by Andy Harry and Sarah Rayne, who...

“It’s so important to me that people listen to the album, fall in love with it, and then come see the live show and fall in love for completely different reasons.  I want them to get something different out of the live show than just what’s on the album,”...
