Kewadin Casino's entertainment page has been updated to reflect January 2019 concert weekends at The Rapids Lounge, and a couple of new hard rock announcements for The Northern Pines Lounge in St. Ignace are within, starting with the return of local classic/hard rock cover quartet Highway 63 on January 18th & 19th! This is the first announced solo concert weekend for Highway 63 since their return from their 2018 hiatus and their Dondee Lanes show THIS SATURDAY (preview forthcoming), as well as their second & third gigs with their new lineup. Fans last saw the Switzers and company in St. Ignace in December of last year, so if you've been awaiting their new setlist and lineup with baited breath, this could be a good opportunity to check them out! No word yet on a potential return to The Rapids Lounge in the Soo, but remember that after 2016, they announced a break from shows there "for a while" so they could do "some travelling" in 2017, and said break hasn't publically ended.As usual for Kewadin Casino lounge concerts, next month's Highway 63 gigs have 9:00 PM start times, no announced cover charges, and 21+ age limits. This should be a solid way to welcome Highway 63 back to the stage, especially if you can't make it to the Dondee this weekend, so visit the above links for more on next month's action!
Next up, the other brand new St. Ignace Kewadin hard rock shows will come just a week later, as Traverse City classic metal trio Peril will make their E.U.P. debuts for 2019 at The Northern Pines Lounge on Friday, January 25th & Saturday, January 26th! There will assuredly be more concerts on the horizon from Peril and their sister band Scarkazm to be confirmed at the Soo and St. Ignace branches, so stay tuned for when those are announced publically. This will be Peril's first concert weekend at The Northern Pines Lounge since rocking that venue early last month, and it's always cool to see Jeff, Adam (or Dave), and Brooks bring their hard rocking setlist north of the Mack, so don't bypass these shows next month either! Like with the Highway 63 shows next month, these are 21+ events with 9:00 PM start times and no cover. Visit the above links for more details on these two shows, and stay tuned for more on Peril & Scarkazm's 2019 Sault & St. Ignace schedule!We'll close today with new videos from Sault Ontario solo musicians, starting with one from local alt-folk/metal solo artist Chase Wigmore's YouTube channel two weeks ago, and it's of him playing along with his black metal original "She Crawls Towards It" from his recent album "Seven Curses"! The video proper is very grainy and somewhat overexposed, but Chase gives a very intense and dramatic performance of this chaotic song, even in this casual setting, and it's definitely worth a watch for fans of his heavier side! Yes, I am well aware of his recent "12 EPs of Christmas" project, stay tuned for info on that soon. Give Chase's newest performance video a look below!
Finally for today, here's a surprise new cover video from former Ashes to Dust guitarist Alex Hemy's YouTube channel! Alex's prolific video output slowed down a ton as of late, having only posted two videos in the past 3½ years, so it's great to see that he's still playing in some form! This is an instrumental cover of John Mayer's song "Slow Dancing In A Burning Room", as shot on five different cameras at once, all focusing on his guitar playing and nothing else. The instrumentation and backing drum track are all very nice on this soft number, though remember that this cover has no vocals. Give Alex's newest cover a look below!
That's all for today, but stay tuned for more news and updates on the site soon! Thanks everyone!
