Earlier this week, Rush fans across the world commemorated the life of Neil Peart on the 5th anniversary of his passing back on January 7, 2020. To commemorate the occasion, Rush tribute band YYNOT hosted their 3rd annual Bubba Bash in celebration of The Professor at the Keswick Theatre outside Philly (Glenside, PA) this past Saturday evening. The show was hosted by Cathy Rankin, and featured YYNOT along with special guests Frank Bello (Anthrax), Jason Bittner (Shadows Fall, Overkill, etc.), Jon Dinklage (Clockwork Angels string ensemble), Joe Bergamini (drum instructor, author, etc.), John Wesley (Porcupine Tree), Seven Antonopoulos (Opiate for the Masses), Randy Jackson (Zebra) and others.
