LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS (Tym Morrison & Bone Yard), More Weekend Concert Previews, And A New Video!!

Happy Canada Day to all of our celebrating readers! As promised, let's wrap up this weekend's concert previews before we dive into some more big news this weekend, including some SHORT NOTICE LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS and a new video upload, so here's what you should know!

Local southern hard rock cover trio Bone Yard will return to Shooters Downstairs Lounge for one night only TOMORROW NIGHT! Apologies for the short notice, this show was only announced via the venue's Facebook event page on June 21st, which would have been enough time for us to acknowledge it but I'm still getting used to checking Shooters' Facebook page for show announcements (note that Bone Yard have not confirmed the date on their own Facebook page,  and their prior Facebook show schedule ended in June). Last seen at Reggie's Place last week and at Shooters over a month ago, this should be a prime chance to check out Greg, Alex, and Warren's hard rocking cover selection at a prime downtown locale, so don't miss out TOMORROW! This is a one nighter due to Soundcheck's Canada Day party there TONIGHT, with Greg & Alex instead playing at The Water Tower Pub as their side project The Bearded Lounge.

TOMORROW'S Shooters gig has an 8:00 PM start time, no cover charge, and a 19+ age limit, as usual at the Dennis Street nightclub. See above for much more on Bone Yard's next concert, and for a preview, here they are live!

Next up, local classic/hard rock singer/guitarist Tym Morrison will return to Reggie's Place for another matinee concert THIS SUNDAY! Again, apologies for the short notice, Tym only announced this show via its Facebook event page yesterday. Believe it or not, this is Tym's third straight SUNDAY matinee at the downtown Reggie's, so is this a new weekly series for the former Caveman Morrison frontman? I'm not prepared to say that in this case, as Reggie's historically has a variety of acts on Sundays with Tym usually monthly at best there. Is this just consequence of their/his availability, or have things changed? We'll let you know if we hear anything, but fans of Tym's classic and hard rock covers should find a lot to like on SUNDAY to cap off the long weekend! For the record, Tym apparently did not play his current weekly concert at The Mike Case Memorial Stage this past Wednesday, as it was apparently "too cold", as per his personal Facebook page that day (a public cancellation announcement never came).

The forecast on Wednesday evening called for cloudy 18° weather, so I'll let you decide if that's not warm enough for an outdoor show, but a musician would know the ideal conditions to play in, and in late June, you may be expecting sunnier 20° + weather. Tym is scheduled to be back at The Trading Post this coming Wednesday though! As for SUNDAY's Reggie's gig, it'll be at 3:00 PM with no cover charge and a 19+ age limit. Visit the above links for more details, and here's Tym live!

Finally for this weekend's known hard rock previews, let's head to Michigan again for a show that definitely had advance notice that I caught in time, as Sault Ste. Marie hard rock quartet Rhythm & Brews will debut at The Cozy Corners Tavern & Grill in nearby Barbeau TOMORROW NIGHT! While guitarist Chris Hubbard's old band Splitshot played at The Cozy Corners often, this will be Rhythm & Brews' first trip to Barbeau (20 minutes from the Soo), and will be their first truly local date of the summer, following their hour+ road trip to De Tour Village two weeks ago. Tomorrow's concert will basically be the afterparty for the Dunbar Dirt Road Dash 5K fun run in Barbeau, with a Fourth of July weekend boat parade from Neebish Island ending at the tavern as well, and prizes and such will be awarded after too. Head to Cozy Corners' Facebook page for full non-musical details in case the fun run and/or parade interest you!

All the musical action takes place at 6800 East 15 Mile Road in Barbeau tomorrow,  and the show proper is a 21+ affair with no cover charge and an 8:00 PM start time. Sounds like a good time for Fourth of July celebrants in the E.U.P., so don't miss Brandon, Chris, Brett, and Ron's hard rocking cover selection tomorrow night, and we'll let you know when videos surface!

Finally for today, here's a surprise upload: new pro shot video footage from Kiss' outdoor headlining concert at Kewadin Casino in Sault Ste. Marie in July 2007! This was uploaded by YouTube user Anthony Alexander, whose channel is devoted to archival Kiss concert videos, and this is reportedly unreleased master footage from the local date (it's single camera, but zoom and pan shots are frequently used). How Anthony got this video, I'm not sure, but kudos to him for uploading it after almost 15 years! The video starts with footage of Kiss receiving the key to the city from then- City Commissioner (and ex-Rock 101 DJ) Ray Bauer before showtime, which has been previously uploaded in longer format, but this clip has much better video & audio quality, and isn't as cropped, so give both a look for the full experience. Afterwards, you get 13 minutes of very nice quality footage from the concert proper, so what can you see?

Three songs from early in their set are included from that night, including "Deuce", "Makin' Love", and "All American Man", the latter notably being played live for the first time ever on that night. Again, the same source video from the key to the city clip gave us this footage (the original channel was an ostensible Kewadin Casino channel that has no other videos), and while opener "Detroit Rock City" isn't here, everything else is longer and, again, in much better quality. Credit to Anthony and Mick E. Gee for getting this optimized for upload in 2022, it's great footage from Kiss' first local date with Paul's stage banter to boot, so check it all out below!

That's all for today, but stay tuned for a new news post on the site tomorrow! Thanks everyone!
