LOCAL CONCERT ALERT (Tym Morrison) & Most Of This Weekend's Concert Previews!!

After a quiet week on the SMS, things will pick up over the next couple of days, starting with this weekend's concert previews! Well, most of them, as due to the length of this post, I have opted to push our preview of Saturday night's Fluid 5ive show to tomorrow's post. Don't worry, it is coming! Now, here's what you should know to start the weekend, including a SHORT NOTICE LOCAL CONCERT ALERT!!

Joining his regular weekly concerts at Gliss Steak & Seafood TOMORROW & SATURDAY NIGHT, local hard rock singer/guitarist Tym Morrison will also play a nighttime solo concert at Room 21 TOMORROW NIGHT! Apologies for the short notice on that show, it was only confirmed via it's official Facebook event page on Tuesday. TOMORROW'S gig above Low & Slow will be Tym's first concert at this venue since Friday the 13th last month, and with no Jason costume to worry about, fans can enjoy his acoustic cover action unfettered this weekend there and at Gliss, with his ongoing matinee run continuing that same evening and on Saturday too, so don't miss out at either venue! You can take in Tym's prolific live show tomorrow and Saturday at Gliss at 6:00 PM with no cover charges or age limits (but mind the locale), while TOMORROW NIGHT'S Room 21 return has an oddly specific 10:15 PM start time, no cover, and a 19+ age limit. Click here and visit the above links for more info, and here's Tym live!



Next up, we'll move to previously announced concerts, starting with the third annual Sky's The Limit fundraiser concert, taking place TONIGHT at The W.W. Baldwin Auditorium at The Tech! After two successful prior installments were held at the former St. Mary's College, Algoma Family Services have brought back this mental health awareness concert as part of Children's Mental Health Week once again, with young local musicians (aged 14-29) returning for another entertaining evening of live music for the cause! Local blues/hard rock trio Electric Church will serve as tonight's headlining performers after backing up The Pixo Control & The Din in the last two years, and they're a fitting choice to get the closing nod in year #3 (let alone in their first announced show of the year!) Co-headlining is Christian rapper Tristan "Bold Noize" Goslow, another returnee from the prior Sky's the Limit concerts, who should deliver a solid set of upbeat rhymes himself tonight!

Unlike in prior years, the full performer lineup has actually been announced online, as per this Sault Online article, so who else is playing? In listed order, the other acts are Collage (an all-female band from Notre Dame du Sault that also played last year), a duo act from local musicians Dalton Povey & Chris Elgie, Lime (a high school band comprised of Mustang Sally alumni from Korah Collegiate), and singer/songwriter Tianna Legacy, herself returning from last year. Genres aren't given for the acts in question, but each one is described or quoted regarding their positive messages and intentions, so hopefully they leave an impact (musical or otherwise) tonight! The show will take place at The Tech at 7:00 PM, this is absolutely an ALL AGES event, and tickets are $5 each or $20 if you have a family of five+. You can buy tickets at Algoma Family Services at 205 McNabb Street or by phone at
(705) 945-5050, and presumably at the door.

With all proceeds going to mental health and wellness programs at Algoma Family Services, this is definitely a worthwhile fundraiser and cause to support, so definitely consider a trip down to The Tech for all of the music on display tonight! Visit the official Facebook event page and the above links for more on The Sky's The Limit III and Children's Mental Health Week, and here's Electric Church live!

Finally for today's concert preview post, we'll head south to the Eastern Upper Peninsula, where Traverse City, Michigan metal trio Scarkazm will return to The Northern Pines Lounge at the St. Ignace Kewadin Casino TOMORROW & SATURDAY NIGHT! Just two weeks removed from their most recent Sault Ste. Marie gigs at their Kewadin branch, these will be the Peril sister band's first shows in St. Ignace in four months. This fan favourite group should have another hard hitting weekend of covers and originals in store for northern fans, so if you're up for some heavy rock action, take a jaunt down to St. Ignace tomorrow and/or Saturday night! They won't be back there until August, after all. As usual for Scarkazm's (and Peril's) Kewadin Casino weekends, expect 21+ age limits over these two nights, there are no announced cover charges, and start times remain at 9:00 PM. Visit the official Facebook event pages linked here & here for more details, and here's Scarkazm live!



That's all for today, but stay tuned for our Fluid 5ive concert preview and more tomorrow! Thanks everyone!
