“On the surface, he may be one of the last guys you’d expect to champion the cause of this city’s coterie of women singers and musicians. Yet Gern f, one of the toughest-looking hombres in town, is the force behind Chick Pickin’ Mondays at Grumpy’s Bar, which kicks off on Monday.

The guy is unstoppable.
