Live Music: Kinda Fonda Wanda

You cats are gonna flip when you catch this band: Kinda Fonda Wanda

Take some seasoned music vets, inject the rockabilly spirit and classic country influence of a young Wanda Jackson and toss with the extroverted energy of vocalist Amanda White: the result? Magnificent Fun!” —

Bring a minimum of $6 per adult listener for a great time. 3 hours of music for $6? Surely, this can’t be right!! If Stray Cats was your thing, this is really your thing. Burn rubber and get over here Daddy-O! All members are fantastic musicians and seasoned performers. We can’t wait to hear Miss White and to see what she’s wearing.
Come in 50’s attire and enjoy the admiration of others, 2 Dr shots and $trem2 bottles of Pabst.
