In true Doctors Lounge spirit, the music lives on! 🎶
A group of talented local musicians have banded together just for this event — and we’re thrilled to introduce I.V. & The Drips, featuring Sam McGuckin (lead guitar),
Chuck Stiles (lead vocals, guitar), Thomas Stiles (drums), and Thom Harman (bass, vocals).
