“Wow, great show at the Parish, 4/28/24, with Doyle, Otep and Red Devil Vortex. The HOB staff went out of their way to ensure my comfort and concert experience (I am disabled). In particular Carter at HOB and Will at Gardenwalk assisted me with wheelchairs and everything else. Great ADA seating at the Parish, too. Thanks to everyone who went above and beyond all expectations. 🎶🎵“
