The line stretched beyond the block at 6 p.m. in front of Lake Worth bar Propaganda for a show that was never formally announced.

Over 200 people turned out for the “secret show” on Nov. 22 which turned out to be local music hero Chris Carrabba, lead singer of nationally known Dashboard Confessional. The employees of the bar didn’t even know until two days before the event.

TheHoneyComb.com managed to put on a secret show that proves how viral the internet can be. Most who showed up heard about the show from Carrabba leaving random hints on his Twitter account.

“I’m playing a set in lake worth tonight. Come join me,” Carrabba tweeted earlier in the day. Before and after the show he was continually tweeting about his special solo appearance and answering his fans tweets about price and location.

He played a strictly acoustic set for about an hour to singing and screaming fans. The crowd even helped him out with what would be background vocals on some songs.

“I don’t have any merchandise with me but I do have some handshakes to give out,” Carrabba noted at the end of the show. He stayed around to make sure every fan got a photo and of course a handshake.

“I’m not sure that show can ever be topped,” Carrabba tweeted a couple hours after the event.
