FRDCC MEET-UP:
• We will meet at 5 PM in the area right outside the entrance gate on the left.
• Doors for the show are at 7. The BJ Barham VIP will be around 6 so you can do both the meet-up and VIP if you wish. See American Aquarium website for VIP details.
• If there is a line, you can get to us through the restaurant.
• *** Bring your tickets (scan codes) *** Those that attend the meet-up will be able to get your wristband so you will not have to go to the end of the line when the doors open.
• The bar will be open and you can order food (Highly recommend the Grouper Rueben!).
• If BJ and/or band members stop by the meet-up, please say hi but don’t ask for autographs. They will be at the merch table after the show for this. I will see if I can get them to stop by. These bands love hanging with fans and American Aquarium band members have come to our meetups in the past. No guarantees but either way, we always have fun together! If they do show up, get them whatever they want and do not let them pay for anything!

FAQ’s (Will add to this as questions come in)
--- I hear parking can be tight at Skipper’s for big shows. Any suggestions?
Parking at Skipper’s can be tight for huge shows like this. Suggest getting there early (for the meet-up) or getting a ride. There is enough parking for everyone. Be patient. Skipper’s will come out with their suggestions list closer to show day and will help with the show night parking coordination
--- I see that this is a 21 and up show. I wanted to take my young son who is a huge American Aquarium Fan. Is this possible?
All of Skipper’s shows are 21+ for liability purposes. However, Skipper’s welcomes under 21 with a parent. If you are under 21 and want to attend, bring a parent. They will thank you!!
--- Who is American Aquarium?
For nearly two decades, American Aquarium has pushed toward that rare form of rock-and-roll that’s revelatory in every sense. “For us the sweet spot is when you’ve got a rock band that makes you scream along to every word, and it’s not until you’re coming down at 3a.m. that you realize those words are saying something real about your life,” says front man BJ Barham. “That’s what made us fall in love with music in the first place, and that’s the goal in everything we do.” On their new album The Fear of Standing Still, the North Carolina-bred band embodies that dynamic, balancing their gritty breed of country-rock with Barham’s bravest and most incisive songwriting to date. “In our live show the band’s like a freight train that never lets up, and for this record I really wanted to showcase how big and anthemic we can be,” notes Barham, whose bandmates include guitarist Shane Boeker, pedal-steel guitarist Neil Jones, keyboardist Rhett Huffman, drummer Ryan Van Fleet, and bassist Alden Hedges.
