Kurt & Peggy Bollinger — Live Entertainment

Cap the night off right. Kurt and Peggy Bollinger are Bowdle’s own — the kind of locals who turn a Friday into a story and a Saturday into a legend. They bring the karaoke, the music, and the kind of energy that keeps this town out past bedtime. Every time they set up at the Red Eye, they draw a crowd and make memories that last longer than the hangover. Back at the bar after the burger feed — don’t miss this one.

Saturday, May 2 · 9:00 PM · The Red Eye Tavern
