LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS (Tripod The Dog, Tym Morrison, And Fluid 5ive) & Weekend Concert Previews!!

Another weekend of concert previews is upon us, and as luck would have it, all but one act have SHORT NOTICE LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS attached! Due to the amount of concerts this weekend, our preview of Saturday night's late notice Wyld Stallyns concert at LopLops (details here) will hit the site tomorrow, so watch for it then! Now, here's what you should know!

Local classic/hard rock cover quintet Fluid 5ive will return to The Water Tower Pub for one night only TOMORROW NIGHT! Apologies for the short notice, we only learned about this concert in recent days via the venue's February concert calendar, as seen on the right. This will be their first publically advertised concert set of 2020, unless the Esquire Club gigs advertised on the Sault Music News Letter Facebook page last week did occur (the band and venue did not validate them on social media), and it will be the 5ive's first show at this venue since October. It's good to see this veteran group back out there and north/central fans should consider a trip to The Water Tower Pub TOMORROW to see Fluid 5ive's brand of danceable rock, including many covers you don't see elsewhere from their contemporaries! TOMORROW'S concert has a 19+ age limit, a 9:00 PM start time, and no cover charge. See the above links for more details, and here's Fluid 1ive last year!
 

Next up, local ska punk/hard rock trio Tripod The Dog will reportedly return to The Esquire Club for headlining concerts TOMORROW & SATURDAY NIGHT! Again, apologies for the short notice, we only learned of these gigs via the aforementioned Sault Music News Letter Facebook page on Tuesday, though note that the venue has not confirmed these bookings online either, and Tripod the Dog don't have an actively updated social media page to plug them. Assuming these are on as advertised, this will be Mark & the Amendolas' first concert in two weeks, and their first at The Esquire Club since September in a gig (or two?) that received similarly minimal advance advertising. Tripod The Dog always deliver a fun set with their ska and hard rock selections, so don't miss their next shows TOMORROW and/or SATURDAY in the west end! Expect 10:00 PM start times, no cover charges, and 19+ age limits. See above for more details, and here's an original song of theirs! No public live videos post-reunion yet.

Also this weekend, prolific local hard rock singer/guitarist Tym Morrison will return to Gliss Restaurant for his usual weekly matinees TOMORROW & SATURDAY, joining a nighttime return engagement at The Roadhouse Bar & Grill TOMORROW NIGHT, but that's not all, as Tym will play a rare solo gig on SATURDAY AFTERNOON at.... Searchmont Resort?! Apologies again for the short notice on that event, Tym only announced it via it's Facebook event page on Tuesday, and Searchmont have not advertised it themselves that I am aware of. While not specified on the event page, I believe this show will take place on SATURDAY at The Kiln, Searchmont's new on-site restaurant and bar that officially opened in December, and which has played host to a handful of local acoustic concerts in the ensuing weeks. This will be Tym's first announced gig at the popular area ski resort since playing an outdoor set at 2011's Searchmont Music Festival, so if you want some live hard rock entertainment on SATURDAY after hitting the slopes, keep this gig in mind!

And yes, his usual Gliss shows and his second straight Friday nighter at The Roadhouse should provide more entertaining hard and classic rock covers this weekend, so don't bypass him at these three venues! The Gliss dates are at 6:00 PM, the Roadhouse show is at 10:00 PM tomorrow, and the Searchmont gig at The Kiln is on SATURDAY at 2:00 PM, not unlike his Northern Superior Brewing shows. The Roadhouse has a 19+ age limit, the rest don't, and none have announced cover charges. Visit the Facebook event pages linked here & here for more details, and here's Tym live!

Finally for today's preview post, let's take a detour to Sault Michigan for a show that had advance notice (as inferred by the "every Thursday" scheduling), as local hard rock band Tarnished are expected to continue their weekly engagement at Biggby Coffee TODAY! After a busy I-500 weekend for Alex and company, he (and Nathan or Josh?) will be back at the Ashmun Street coffee-shop today for their only publically advertised show of this week, so look for another afternoon's worth of entertaining hard and classic rock covers for the usual tips & coffee! This show has not been newly plugged by band or venue at press time, but they each went 6 weeks without verifying that the "every Thursday" series was still alive, so you can't expect that this will get a guaranteed acknowledgement. Today's show has a 12:00 PM start time, no cover, and no age limit. See above for more details, and here's Alex/Tarnished live at Biggby Coffee last year!



That's all for today, but stay tuned for the Wyld Stallyns concert preview and more on the site tomorrow!
