"Live and learn, or die and know everything."

IT'S TRUE!! It has all led up to this! They said it couldn't be done and yet here we are: 40 YEARS OF MUSIC!
Q: How did we do it? A: VOLUME! ... one gig at a time.
Next weekend (June 12 & 13) we will host a MASSIVE celebration of our musical milestone. It will be held in Pete's legendary two-story Barn in East Norriton, PA. We have invited virtually every musician who has ever played with The Mighty Manatees. Almost 50 musicians will be playing throughout the weekend! There will be overnight camping, food trucks, bonfire singalongs, and a fricking laser show!
Two days of peace & music.
