The Crested Hens
Catch Them Live
For historical interest, here is a list of shows the Hens played. (It may not be completely complete, because the webmaster didn't get his butt in gear as soon as the band formed, and he was telecommuting from 500 miles away for a couple of years... A few cancelled gigs may have crept into the list too. In other words, these may or may not have been some or all of the Hens' gigs during 2006 - 2008.)
