Upcoming/Recent Shows

Jon & Roy are a much beloved local duo that have been putting on a big holiday show around here for over 15 years now. My wife has wanted to go to one with me since we got together, but between covid and kids it hasn't happened. But I'm picking up tickets tomorrow for this year's show.

Members Only radio show last night with Soul Asylum, acoustic. I'll be honest, I was too young for Soul Asylum's peak so they'll always be kind of a one hit wonder for me, but the members I talked to over 40 all LOVED this band. Like, rabidly.

The venue was House Three Thirty, which was a beloved club called Tangiers back before I moved here. Now it's owned and operated by LeBron James's foundation, who do a ton of great work in Akron. Spotlessly clean and run like a well oiled machine. Their cabaret theater was packed and practically overfull for the show.

The band has a new record out, which they played the lead single before being interviewed by the station's Program Director, a fellow native Minnesotan like the band. Dave Pirner was a bit...grumpy isn't the word, but I think he would have rather have had his off day instead of playing for us. Oh well. After the interview, we got the hits, and everyone left happy. Dave's vocals are a bit scratchier now. Was gonna pick up the new record to get signed, but the band retreated to their bus pretty quickly and I couldn't stick around to wait.

Happy to see her get more listeners. Surprised she has just over 12k followers on IG.

I see you lurking here @Tyr; you were the first N&G member I introduced A.A. Williams to during a random late night JQBX session ~3.5 years ago 📻
