The Thanksgiving long weekend (for Sault Ontario and Canadian readers) is upon us, and there's a fair amount of shows to take in for hard rock fans in the next few days! Due to the amount of shows, I'll hold our previews of Saturday night's Cross Dog and Half Past concerts for tomorrow's post, along with any further late notice gigs that I hear about. Speaking of which, we're leading off today with a SHORT NOTICE LOCAL CONCERT ALERT, so here's what you should know on this Thursday night!
Local classic/hard rock cover quartet Soundcheck will return to The Water Tower Pub for one night only TOMORROW NIGHT! Apologies for the short notice, we only learned about this gig via the venue's concert calendar for October 2024, belatedly shared to their Facebook page on Sunday (though be advised that Soundcheck have not publically corroborated this booking on social media). Last seen at Jay's three weeks ago (with the cancelled A&W car show in the interim), this will be Soundcheck's first stop at The Water Tower Pub since the end of August. If you like hearing Terry, Cameron, Jim, and Glen's classic and hard rock cover attack with a dash of country, definitely keep their return to this popular central venue in mind TOMORROW! This one-nighter has an 8:00 PM start time, 19+ age limit, and no cover charge. Visit the above links for more details, and for a preview, here's Soundcheck live!
Next up, let's head south to St. Ignace, Michigan to make up for missing this band's last local dates, as Traverse City classic metal trio Peril will return to The Northern Pines Lounge at St. Ignace's Kewadin Casino TOMORROW & SATURDAY NIGHT! Like with Soundcheck, we haven't seen Peril locally in three weeks, following their Rapids Lounge gigs at the Soo Kewadin last month, which I profusely apologize again for missing on here outright. I definitely wasn't going to miss covering their St. Ignace stops this weekend though, marking Jeff & crew's first stops at The Northern Pines Lounge since July. These should be another prime opportunity to see Peril's hard hitting classic covers, so fans in Mackinac County or who are up for a short drive won't want to miss out, even if it's not a long weekend for Yooper readers! Remember, their sister band Scarkazm will return to both local Kewadin branches at the start and end of next month.
As usual for Peril's trips north of the Mackinac Bridge, tomorrow & Saturday's concerts have 9:00 PM start times, 21+ age limits, and no cover charges. See above for more details, and for a preview, here's Peril live!
Also this weekend, there's more classic/hard rock cover action at The Water Tower Pub on SATURDAY NIGHT, and because they traditionally host separate nightly acts, Double Down will take the stage there one day after Soundcheck! Another band we last saw on stage three weeks ago (this time at the Band Together To Rock Cancer benefit), this will be the Syrettes, Brad, and Ric's first show at this central nightclub since May, and it should be a fun night of rocking covers from this experienced foursome, featuring alumni of bands like Bone Yard, Griphook, and That's Chester in their ranks, so don't miss out on this long weekend one nighter either! Like with Soundcheck tomorrow, Saturday night's Double Down concert is a 19+ affair with no cover charge and an 8:00 PM start time. If you can't make it, Double Down's next advertised shows will be in November at The Esquire Club. Visit the above links for more details, and for a preview, here's Double Down live last month!
Finally, here's a matinee concert on SATURDAY, as prolific local classic/hard rock solo musician Tym Morrison will continue his 2024 weekly concert arrangement at Misty's Fifties that day! With at least three more stops on his weekly run at the Second Line West nightclub to go (we'll let you know if he extends the arrangement into November), Tym should have another fun day's worth of classic and hard rock covers, perhaps with some more modern or country cuts alongside, so don't miss out at Misty's for his proficient vocal and guitar work along with his ample setlist! As usual for his Saturday run here, this is a 4:00 PM matinee with a 19+ age limit and no announced cover charge. If you want to hear Tym's acoustic cover slate over the long weekend, go west for all of the action in two days' time! Visit the official Facebook event page for more details, and for a preview, here's Tym live!
That's all for now, but stay tuned for the rest of this weekend's concert previews next! Thanks everyone!
