Peter Prince, Shannon Lynch, Brian Kaplan Join Jerkwater Ruckus Farewell Party

Jerkwater Ruckus performed its final show Friday night at Valentine’s, in Albany, NY and a number of area musicians appeared and joined in to salute the group. During the band’s three hour second set, Moon Boot Lover’s Peter Prince and Shannon Lynch (Conehead Buddha, Lynch) played on a number of songs including Prince’s ‘Ali’ and ‘NYC’, Jerkwater Ruckus’ ‘P Street Blues’ and a cover of Led Zeppelin’s ‘The Lemon Song.’ Later Lynch appeared with former Conehead Buddha trombonist Brian Kaplan for a version of the Ruckus’ ‘Como’ (Kaplan also had joined the band on guitar for the first five tunes of the evening).
