Late-breaking news from the This Week in Live Music newsroom: Everyone’s favorite Meat Loaf has expired.
The pandemic just goes on and (omicr)on, so it’s OK to be a bit wary about venturing out this month. But hope springs eternal that when spring arrives, we’ll be in a better spot.
If you ARE comfy taking in a show or three, take a gander at the gigs o’ the week and pick your faves.
Tonight, we have Ben Levin at Wiedemann’s, Sabbath (a tribute) at Ludlow Garage and Justin Wells at Southgate.
Saturday night, Dopapod plays the Madison Theater and Better than Ezra and Tonic are at the Hard Rock Casino. And Southgate is hosting a Western Kentucky Tornado Relief benefit:
Ben Levin is back on the brunch shift at Hard Rock (10:30 a.m. until 2 p.m.) on Sunday. (Just to clarify, Ben will be playing piano and singing the blues, he won’t be taking your order for Quiche Lorraine… although maybe he can play a bluesy version of that song.)
On Wednesday, you can check out Albert Lee at Southgate, with The Cryers as the opener, or see Lucky Chops (brass/funk) at the Taft Ballroom. (Lucky Chops are not affiliated with the Slap Chop.)
Thursday, Umphrey’s McGee is at the Ovation in Newport, and Ludlow Garage welcomes Tim Reynolds with TR3.
Next Friday, January 28th:
- Ana Popovic plays Ludlow Garage
- Hyryder plays Annie’s
- Knotts are at MOTR
- Ben Levin is at BrewRiver
- That guy who is on the insurance commercial with Baker Mayfield plays the Icon.
This Pine Box was originally slated to play the Woodward that same evening, but that gig has been postponed. And the Erasure concert on 1/29 has also been postponed.
Next Saturday (1/29):
- The Wombats play Ovation
- .38 Special plays the Hard Rock
- Buckcherry and The Lacs are at Annie’s
- Big Mountain is at Ludlow Garage
- String Theory plays Wiedemann’s
- Ben Levin is at Japp’s
- Bogart’s hosts a “Taylor Swift Inspired Dance Party”… just watch out for Taylor’s variant!
Next Sunday (1/30), Railroad Earth will be at the Madison Theater.
January Heat
Give it up for Parquet Courts for their incendiary performance on… Ellen?
And check out this super hot (or super cool) lineup from an old Jazz Fest.
2nd Best Match Game ever!
This McSweeney’s piece by John Moe, “What Your Favorite Sad Dad Band Says About You,” is quite funny… and sometimes hits a little too close to home.
Best Match Game ever!
