The Skinners have a natural rapport with their audiences and their live shows are a wonderful experience; a musical journey to remember. Be prepared for laugh-out-loud lyrics followed by songs sure to pull at your heartstrings. Rob and Sarah Skinner will steal your hearts. Don’t miss their show! \nLocation: 8426 Gateway Blvd \nTime: Doors at 6:30 PM\, show at 7:00 PM \nTickets are available here.
