STREETSCAPE ENTERTAINMENT

Izzy and the Catastrophics –  Performing on the SunTrust Plaza from 6 to 8 pm.  Stitching together rock and roll, swing, surf,  honky-tonk and bebop, this is a profoundly exciting and challenging group, often compared to rockabilly greats of the past. Izzy and his boys are carrying the tradition into the future with flair and frenzy.
