Synth pop artist Shannon Curtis returns to Omaha with 80’s Kids. The artist is known for her original songs, but this time through they are performing songs from 80’s acts we all love. Their 80’s Kids album features songs from Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, Bruce Springsteen, OMD, Alphaville and more. This happens at Reverb Lounge tonight.
The last time we saw L.A. Guns was at Steelhouse Omaha. The legendary hair band has released a new album since then and will be at the intimate Barnato tonight. They sounded great at Steelhouse Omaha, so this should be a one not to miss.
Country singer-songwriter Jason Eady is always a popular show when he comes through at Buck’s. It has been a couple of years since his last album Mississippi, but he did just release an unplugged version of it January. He will be at Buck’s Bar and Grill in Venice, Nebraska this evening.
Other happenings tonight include Lil Ed and The Blues Imperials at The Zoo Bar. Lil Ed is a LONG time favorite of blues fans in the area. Nebraska Music Hall Of Famer Billy McGuigan will bring his Pop Rock Orchestra to The Arts Center at Iowa Western Community College and there is a fantastic dark wave type lineup happening at The Sydney tonight with Jeff in Leather, Cult Play, Ladie Muerte, X-ID. If you need some jazz this evening, Paper Canaries are at Jewell on Capitol.
