LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS (Soundcheck, Tym Morrison, And The Wyld Stallyns) & Weekend Concert Previews!!

It's time to dive into another weekend of concert previews at the SMS! Due to the amount, I will hold our preview of Saturday night's previously announced Tripod the Dog concert at The Rockstar Bar to our next post, coming either tomorrow or Saturday morning. Look for that then, and now, here's what you should know for other announced hard rock shows on the horizon, including three SHORT NOTICE LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS!

Local acoustic hard rock trio The Wyld Stallyns will rock The Whiskey Barrel for the first time in 2020 TOMORROW NIGHT! Apologies for the short notice, the venue announced the gig via this concert schedule photo on their Facebook page on January 12th, but it slipped us by at the time. Three weeks and change removed from their New Year's Eve party here, this should be another prime opportunity for fans to take in The Stallyns' skilled, entertaining, and often heavy selection of covers, so don't miss them at the Gore Street restaurant & nightclub TOMORROW! A one-nighter due to or resulting in the Peter White show on Saturday, TOMORROW'S Wyld Stallyns concert has an 8:00 PM start time, no cover charge, and a 19+ age limit. See above for more details, and here's The Wyld Stallyns live!

 

Next up, prolific local hard rock singer/guitarist Tym Morrison's long-term arrangement at Gliss Restaurant continues with matinee concerts TOMORROW & SATURDAY, but in an announcement we didn't know, Tym will make his debut at Northern Superior Brewing Company THIS SATURDAY as well! Again, apologies for the short notice, this show was only announced via his Facebook event page this past Thursday. Concerts held at the 50 Pim Street brewery's on-site Taproom are still relatively new for us, though not completely so, as The Wyld Stallyns played a one-off gig here in June 2018, and non-hard rock acts have been playing here with more regularity in recent months. In Tym's case, he'll be in the Taproom for 3:00 PM matinee concerts on SATURDAY and for at least two more Saturdays in 2020's first quarter. Should be a fun time in a new-ish locale, and his music always holds up, but oddly, this means that his Gliss matinee is the later event for a change!

Of course, regulars and fans can expect more entertaining live music at the Spring Street restaurant this weekend, so don't miss Tym (and his new short haircut!) there or at Northern Superior! We will address Tym's February slate at both venues next week. The Gliss shows are at 6:00 PM, SATURDAY'S Taproom gig is at 3:00 PM, and none have advertised cover charges or age limits, but respect the locales.

Also this weekend, local classic/hard rock cover quartet Soundcheck will return to The Water Tower Pub for one night only on SATURDAY NIGHT! Apologies again for the short notice, this concert has been advertised for the past two weeks on the venue's January schedule on your left, but again, this fell through the cracks at the time, and Soundcheck themselves have not plugged the show on their Facebook page since then. Like with The Wyld Stallyns above, this will be Soundcheck's first concert at this venue since New Year's Eve, though with no seasonal frills on SATURDAY, this should be more of a return to normalcy. As such, if you want to see their new lineup at this popular central venue with no cover, keep this one in mind! Like usual, this is a 19+ event, and a 9:00 PM start time is in effect. Also, note that veteran local jazz musician Britta Wolfert will also be playing a 5:00 PM matinee concert at The Water Tower Pub on Saturday, but that is considered to be a separate concert.Visit the above links for more details, and here's Soundcheck live!

Finally for today's preview post, here's a pair of shows that had lots of advance notice, as Sault Michigan hard rock quartet 415E will return to the stage TOMORROW & SATURDAY NIGHT when they rock The Northern Pines Lounge at the St. Ignace Kewadin Casino! After a very quiet 2019 for the Splitshot successors, 415E are riding high from their Soo Kewadin gig on New Year's Eve, with this weekend's shows being their first in St. Ignace since last July, and last at either branch until May. In spite of their sparse online presence, 415E have a very talented and experienced lineup and lots of solid hard and classic rock covers, so fans will be in good hands with them tomorrow and/or Saturday night! As usual for Kewadin lounge concerts, expect both shows to have 9:00 PM start times, 21+ age limits, and no cover charges. Visit the above links for more details, and for a preview, here's 415E live!



That's all for today, but stay tuned for our Tripod The Dog preview and more next! Thanks everyone!
