R.E.M. Tribute Band to perform at Crystal Theatre

CRYSTAL FALLS – Fans of R.E.M. will want to see the highly-acclaimed tribute band Dead Letter Office perform at Crystal Theatre Friday, July 12 at 7 p.m.

Dead Letter Office have dedicated themselves to faithfully reproducing the music and energy of a live R.E.M. show. Based out of western New York since 2014, the band has been thrilling audiences throughout the U.S. and Canada, providing a show that’s been missed since R.E.M. parted company.
