Right Away, Great Captain!, Casey Crescenzo (of The Dear Hunter), and Harrison Hudson (Review & Photos)
By Alexis Simpson The Pike Room in Pontiac, MI hosted a sold-out show headlined by Andy Hull and his side project, Right Away, Great Captain!. The last time we saw Andy perform was at Clutch Cargo’s for the Manchester Orchestra show.
