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

I hope everyone had a great Halloween! Before we begin this weekend's concert previews, I just wanted to acknowledge that Kinross, Michigan classic/hard rock trio Banned are playing at a special awards banquet this Saturday at the Kinross Speedpark reflecting this summer's auto racing season. Given that admission requires an advance RSVP and isn't clearly a publically attendable event, I'm not covering it here, but keep it in mind if you are inclined to attend! Now, let's start today's post with some LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS, some on SHORT NOTICE!

Tym Morrison's long-term run of weekly matinee concerts at Gliss Steak & Seafood will finally resume TOMORROW, with shows following on SATURDAY and through at least the end of the year at it's new home! Apologies for the short notice, we were waiting for public confirmation of the arrangement's resumption, which came via the shows' Facebook event page on Monday. While the prolific local acoustic hard rock musician played a private pre-opening engagement there on Friday, TOMORROW'S concert will be his first publically advertised gig at the slightly renamed Gliss Restaurant since mid-July, after the venue closed in advance of a move from The Quality Inn to the former Cesira's building at 133 Spring Street, not far from the old Case's Music/Colosimo's location. Staff and patrons have hyped up the more intimate location and expanded menu, so see above for full details on the culinary side of things, but it's great to Tym back on a regular schedule there!

Note that Tym's advertising does not list any Thursday night gigs, despite traditionally playing a thrice-weekly schedule at Gliss from July-December each year. If this turns out to be a temporary or accidental change, we'll let you know, but that may just be how the schedule is laid out at the new location. Alongside Tym's other new gigs there on November 9th-10th, 16th-17th, 23rd-24th, and 30th-December 1st (we'll add his other December shows to our listings in a few weeks), Tym will also play one previously announced nighttime concert THIS SATURDAY NIGHT, when he returns to The Harp Pub & Grill at the Pine Plaza! Tym was the only regular musical performer at this venue (post-Madison's) from 2013-2016, including a run of weekly concerts for a time, and it's great to see him back after over 2½ years as part of the new concert-heavy path The Harp recently kickstarted! No word though on why he's not playing there tomorrow night.

Tym's revived Gliss shows (including TOMORROW'S & SATURDAY'S) remain 6:00 PM matinees with no announced cover charges or age limits (but remember, this is still a formal sit-down restaurant, not a traditional nightclub venue), while Saturday night's Harp show is a 9:00 PM affair with no cover and a 19+ age limit.

Next up, local acoustic hard rock/jam trio The Wyld Stallyns will return to Room 21 for another headlining concert TOMORROW NIGHT! Again, apologies for the short notice, this show was only announced via it's official Facebook event page yesterday. Last seen at The Harp last week, this will be the Elements side project's first concert at the nightclub above Low & Slow since their Tom Petty tribute early last month, and first without a single-artist theme there since September. Requests and fan involvement are again encouraged for their varied and often heavy selection of covers and classic hits, so don't miss The Wyld Stallyns latest Room 21 stop TOMORROW NIGHT! Note that this is a one-night-only booking, and I do not know if there will be a Fishbowl and/or Finger Food Friday theme. TOMORROW's concert has a 10:00 PM start time, no announced cover charge, and a 19+ age limit. See above for more details, and here's The Wyld Stallyns live!



Finally, we'll head to Sault Michigan for one more concert preview this weekend, as local hard/blues rock quartet Project 906 will return to Bird's Eye Outfitters (and/or The Superior Cafe) TOMORROW NIGHT! This will be the second show in a week's span for this fan favourite group, who just ended a nearly 2 month break from the stage at Saturday night's Musicians Showcase at the same venue, and as seen on Facebook photos, that Halloween themed-show was a hit. If nothing else, frontman Billy Bernier rocked that Zakk Wylde-esque blonde wig! Tomorrow's show will see more of a return to normal for the 906 crew, so look for more hard rocking cover favourites at the East Portage Avenue locale then! There is no announced age limit or cover charge for this concert, which has a 7:00 PM start time. Visit the above links for more details on tomorrow's one-nighter at The Bird('s Eye), and here's Project 906 live!



That's all for today, but stay tuned for this month's "Where Are The New Albums?" post next! Thanks everyone!
