Need a lift? Just reach for the ska! The Northeast State Foundation welcomes Demon Waffle to perform at the fall concert series on November 1.

With a mix of ska-punk-reggae like no other band, Demon Waffle brings the sound and fury for a show in the Sound and Lighting Lab, Room T058, of the Technical Education Complex (TEC) on the Northeast State at the Blountville campus.

The show begins at 7:00 p.m. in the Entertainment Technology Sound and Lighting Lab (Room O58) on the first floor of the TEC building. Admission to all concert series shows is free and open to all.

A beloved Appalachian music crew, Demon Waffle brings dynamic, high-energy performances with a ska punk reggae sound that is easy to love and hard to duplicate.
