The Broadcasters celebrated 20 official years as a band this weekend. Their first show was held on October 31, 1988 at The Last Call in Providence, Rhode Island. On Saturday night, Ronnie and the Broadcasters played for 3 energizing hours and everyone was treated to a delicious cake. The Racky Thomas Band opened the evening and joined the Broadcasters for more great music.
The Broadcaster guitar cake was made by Bonnie Camacho. Thank you Bonnie!
