The Dear Hunter, The Composure, Five O'Clock Charlie, Overseas (All Ages) The Dear Hunter is the story of a boy. From his creation to his untimely end - the beautifully rapturous to the truly tragic. Set at the dawn of the 20th century, the debut EP, "I: The Lake South, The River North" gives birth to a story, and makes sense of the future by explaining the past. Simply put, The Dear Hunter sings of something to which we can all relate- lust, deceit, greed, and hunting. The Dear Hunter was originally created as Casey Crescenzo's side project from The Receiving End of Sirens. The band will be stopping in Charleroi, Pennsylvania in between tours with The Format and Saves The Day. Event submitted by Eventful.com on behalf of indietickets.
