Big D and The Kids Table took the stage with authority. Big D is a Boston based band that plays an in your face punk tone with a ska influence. They had the crowd pumped and I could hear fans singing every lyric for all of the songs! You might remember them from the 2011 GreenWaves concert at UCF arena.
