The Zone’s January 2015 Band of the Month, Band of Rascals, opened up the show, and brought a good amount of volume with them.

There was also this guy. I hear tell it’s Jesse’s brother. Whoever he is, he certainly added some, uh . . . class to the show. =)

You could hear the screams and see the sweat throughout the night. If there’s one thing Jesse Roper does at a show, it’s give.
