Be sure to raise a stein to the Rathbones at 3:15 today. If you were frequenting Cantina Off Court or the Safari Club in the 1990s, you may have encountered Des Moines band The Rathbones. Last year, the band was inducted into the Iowa Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame and played multiple sold-out shows in the area. Today at 3:15 will be their final performance ever-- see you at the stage this afternoon!
