The Help

The Help is a band formed in the underbelly of the Verde Valley, only breaching the surface, to dance, make love, and party with the undead.  The word is that if you dress as a Zombie for this event, you will have access to Zombie Happy Hour Prices!  Is it a thing?  Dare we even ask?  Every Dressed-Up Zombie deserves Happiness in our humble opinion. 

A super group formed by local legends, bringing you music that you can dance to and lyrics that make second guess every decision you’ve ever made, with Nick on acoustic guitar and vocals, Tara on vocals, Jesse on bass, DJ on lead guitar and Jason on drums.
