Before we begin this weekend's concert previews (Toystock aside), we have an apology to make for a missed concert, as Sault Michigan classic/hard rock quintet Highway 63 played at Huck's Pub & Grill (formerly Joe's Bar & Grill) this past Saturday at a publically advertised hunter's bash. The venue had plugged the show on their Facebook page since November 5th, but the band only followed suit on the day of the event. Huck's is still uncommon for our coverage, but I do apologize or missing it, and hopefully the hunter's bash was a for Highway 63 and fans alike! Now, here's what you should know for this weekend, starting with SHORT NOTICE LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS!
Local acoustic hard rock trio The Wyld Stallyns will play a rare headlining concert at The New American Pub TOMORROW NIGHT! Apologies for the short notice, the band and venue only confirmed this concert via their respective Facebook pages earlier today. Yes, The New A had a poster made in-house to promote the concert, but as they spelled the band's name in a normal, Bill & Ted-free way (Wild Stallions), it didn't seem to fit for this particular write-up. A one nighter due to The New American's regular Saturday night karaoke festivities, this will be the Elements side project's first appearance at this downtown nightclub since playing at a Special Olympics Winter Games fundraiser here last December. This fan favourite trio should have another solid night of covers in store, so don't miss out TOMORROW! Note that the Sault Music News Letter Facebook page also credits The Stallyns as playing at The Whiskey Barrel on Saturday, but the band has not confirmed that.
As best as I can tell, this listing is a remnant of that page's coverage of shows last week, but if the band is indeed playing there on Saturday, we'll let you know. In any event, TOMORROW'S New A stop is an 8:00 PM affair with no announced cover charge and a 19+ age limit. Visit the above links for more details, and here's The Wyld Stallyns live!
Next up, local classic/hard rock cover quintet Fluid 5ive will reportedly rock Reggie's West for concerts TOMORROW & SATURDAY NIGHT! Again, apologies for the short notice, we only learned of these dates via the aforementioned Sault Music News Letter Facebook page, though in this case, these are newly added listings. While not publicized by the band proper online, this will be Fluid 5ive's apparent debut at the Reggievelt, so if you're up for some classic and hard rock hits not typically played on the local bar circuit, don't bypass these dates! It's worth noting that the Sault Music News Letter page only lists these as taking place at Reggie's, but given that the downtown Reggie's Place reportedly closed permanently in September (more on that soon), it's a safe assumption that they mean the Korah Road location. As usual, expect 10:00 PM start times, no cover charges, and 19+ age limits. See above for more details, and here's Fluid 5ive 1ive!
Moving to previously announced concerts, let's take a brief detour to Sault Michigan, where local hard rock cover band Tarnished (or just their frontman Alex Traynor) will continue his/their "every Thursday" matinee run at Biggby Coffee TODAY, before heading to the local Kewadin Casino branch TONIGHT for a headline engagement at The Signatures Lounge! These dates will serve as an appetizer before Tarnished hit the road for a Mount Pleasant concert tomorrow (good luck!), so local fans will get two chances to see Alex (and company?) in an unplugged acoustic setting today. No word on whether Alex is playing these dates alone or not, especially given recent online ambiguity regarding Josh's involvement, but note that Tarnished did say to "catch us at the Signatures Lounge" tonight on their Facebook page. In any event, these are both cover-free shows, with the Biggby matinee at 12:00 PM with no age limit, and the presumably 21+ Signatures Lounge show at 6:00 PM. Click here and see above for more details, and here's Tarnished live!
Finally for this weekend's currently announced hard rock previews (Toystock aside), we'll head back to Sault Ontario, where local hard rock singer/guitarist Tym Morrison's ongoing weekly concert arrangement at Gliss Restaurant on Spring Street will continue with matinee gigs TOMORROW & SATURDAY NIGHT! This long-term run at the popular downtown restaurant has given fans and Gliss patrons a lot of entertaining live music in the mid-late 2010s, and look for more hard and classic rock covers from the former Caveman Morrison frontman over these next two evenings! As usual for his Gliss stops, expect 6:00 PM start times, no announced cover charges, and no age limits, but remember that this is a formal restaurant, not a nightclub. Visit the official Facebook event page for more details, and for a preview, here's Tym live at Gliss Restaurant earlier this year!
That's all for today, but stay tuned for our Toystock preview, Offspring/Sum 41 fallout, and much more on the site soon! Thanks everyone!
