Al Simmons shows in The Sounds Crazy Caboose
There are strange sounds coming from The Forks. Al Simmons will be performing two concerts in The Sounds Crazy Caboose.
Al will be singing songs and telling tall tales while accompanying himself on his home made sound-effects and eccentric musical instruments —made out of springy doorstoppers, buckets, pipes, air mattress pumps, bottles, garden hoses, balloons and toilet plungers. He will be assisted by his musical pal Rusty Robot. (YES THAT IS HIS NAME)
Come join us but dress for the weather. The show will be outdoors —storm or shine, blizzard or beautiful day.
Find The Sounds Crazy Caboose in the plaza near the Canopy Rink.
