For nearly a decade, local singer-guitarist Bobby Vaughn has gigged around town with his indie rock band the Promise Hero. His favorite venue is the Grog Shop and he’s on a campaign to sell the place out when he performs there on May 9.

These Knees, Keys & Corridors, 4 Door Theatre, Surrounding Cities and Caught Up in a Dream share the bill. Tickets are $5 ADV, $8 DOS. Here’s the video:
