Gore was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives four times and the U.S. Senate twice. He served eight years as vice president. He authored the bestsellers “Earth in the Balance,” “An Inconvenient Truth,” “The Assault on Reason,” and “Our Choice.” He is a co-recipient of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.

Christ, Lord / Hello Ocho / Hallucinex / Makeout Club

9:00 p.m.
21-and-up
Christ, Lord is a six piece Eastern European influenced pop group based out of Atlanta, Ga. Opening for Christ, Lord is Hello Ocho, which sounds like a psychedelic collage of bedroom funk with a smooth mixture of electronic and acoustic instruments. Hallucinex is the daydream-y sound of local favorite Taylor Knoll. Makeout Club is a Savannah-based surf-punk group.
