Ricky Marvel is so happy to be here to celebrate the release of his album and attend the Dam Records concert on Friday featuring Fujiko, The Blank Stairs and Zoo Cali.
Many people I know consider autumn to be their favorite season of the year. As temperatures get colder and outdoor activities slow down, you can definitely notice a difference in the air and the types of live music events taking place. But for now, we’re still on track with a ton of music playing here and there. Let’s look for evidence in the pudding.
Thursday was a fast paced day with Rod Grant (who’s everywhere these days) setting up shop on the patio at Casey’s Pub, Bustin’ Ruth’s Harris family gathering at the Curb Inn, Al Kitchen and Danny Wilson working, and more. is maintained. Mother Lode Diner (inside the Route 66 Hotel on South 6th Street) and the Linkin Park Tribute Group with Cadence will be hosting their opening presentation at Dannenberger Family Vineyards.
Open Mic continues with John Drake hosting a monthly show the first Thursday of the month at Ad Astra with a 6:30 p.m. sign-up “Bring Your Instrument, Voice, Poetry (and/or) Spoken Word Art We encourage additional participation by providing a space where people can participate. At Blue Grouch, Courtney Leatherwood hosts the popular weekly full band jam time.
Our calendar listing shows more than 25 music artists performing on Friday, approximately 35 performances on Saturday, and approximately 15 performances on Sunday, so check out our list of entertainment this weekend. Several decisions must be made regarding the planning schedule.
Local favorites and a few newcomers on Friday include Micah Walk from the mezzanine bar upstairs at Farmhouse Brews in Harvest Market, and Dave Littrell and Jeff Cunningham hit at Sangamo Brewing in Chatham did. In downtown Springfield, the Friday Night Jazz & Blues show hosted by the Springfield Area Arts Council features the Steve Adelman Quartet at Boone’s, Tom and Jeff at Bloom Wine Bar, and Stuart Smith at Ad Astra . Ricky Marvel held an album release party at Dam Records, with Fujico, Blank Stairs, and Zoo Cali also in attendance, just as Smokestacks exploded the blues with their Buzz Bomb debut. At the same time, the Josie Lowder Band appears at George Ranks, Three’s Company chills out at Long Bridge Golf Course, White Lightnin’ plays country cool at VFW #755, and Big Guy & the MOB hits Jamie’s Route 66.
Saturday continues the early start (for me) with Kate Lane at Stella Coffee & Tea at 10am, then moves into the afternoon with Beige Desperados hosting (12-3) at Bomke’s Pumpkin Patch and Avery Held at The Range in Chatham, where Khan scores a take (3-6). In the afternoon, rock bands rock at Off the Wall, the Matt Miller Band plays at Weebles, the Brandi Christine Band plays at the Curve Inn, and The Remedy treats at Loami’s Town Hall Pub. Masu.
On Sunday, in addition to the regular Funday activities, there will be some extraordinary events. Check out the LevelUp Cup Harvest Festival (1-7) featuring music by Sunshine Daydream and Dead Man’s Dog on the LevelUp store grounds (1801 S. Sixth St.). Goodfellas is hosted by Courtney Leatherwood, Mississippi Leghounds, The Cocktails, and The Rick Mari. The Band and Hipbone Sam The Band will be at the Forty Niner’s Nostalgia Party, with proceeds going to military families (2-7). Also, Robert Sampson gets away with Hill Prairie Winery, Naughty and Nice with Brook Hills, and Johnny Conkaroo gets away with It’s All About Wine. Then our old friends Kilbourne Alley play Blue Monday at the Alamo to start things all over again.
