"These guys are so unbelievably talented!!! I have been listening to them for 17 years and never thought I was going to be able to see them in concert... They did not disappoint anyone in the crowd. They rocked from their older songs to their newest music! If anyone has a chance to see them, you need to go, they are so awesome!!!, exclaimed a Wallflowers fan after seeing them live in concert.

The Wallflowers were the first band to ever play a concert on the infamous island.
