Phillyist Playlist: Final Vinyl at the Italian Market Festival

We first discovered Final Vinyl at the Washington Township location of Ott's because Ross's mother's dentist plays the drums for the band (he's the one not wearing leather in the photo above). We were a little skeptical of a D.D.S.-helmed classic rock cover band, but ended up having a blast watching the band blaze through a setlist containing everything from Clapton to Petty—and watching their Jersey-riffic fans (seriously, we're not hating on the state, just the people who embody the stereotypes about it) dance rather inappropriately to the music.

Although the official house band for a Philly radio station (102.9 WMGK), Final Vinyl doesn't make it out of the Garden State too often, but they will tomorrow when they play a quick fifty-minute set at the 9th Street Italian Market Festival. You'll already be there for the food, so why not mosey on down to the 9th and Washington from 1:40 – 2:30? Come for the music; stay for the bridge-and-tunnel hair.
