Poetic Pilgrimage at Rich Mix

-

The 4th day of July, and a night with Poetic Pilgrimage rocking the house, and showing what it really means to be independent - of narrow expectations, misconceptions, and any other obstacle that could potentially hold them back.

If you don't already know Poetic Pilgrimage, what's taken you so long?! 
Check 'em out - they are amazing.
