Huge Jazz On The Green Show Tonight and More For Thursday Live Music Lineup
Tonight is the long-awaited Omaha debut of SRT. SRT is Andrew Synowiec, John “J.R.” Robinson, and Grammy-nominated jazz keyboardist Mitch Towne from right here in Omaha. Guitarist Synowiec has The Who, Alanis Morrisette, Lil Nas X, Carole King, Herb Alpert, Nick Jonas, and so many more on his list of credits and collaborations. Robinson is “the most recorded drummer in history,” playing on Michael Jackson’s “Off the Wall” and “Bad” albums, along with albums from Madonna, David Lee Roth, Chaka Khan, Daft Punk, Lady Gaga, and so many more. Who is playing drums on “We Are the World”? That would be Robinson. Keyboardist Towne performs all over with various projects and is the go-to guy to play on projects both live and in the studio. It used to surprise me where Mitch showed up, but not any more. I have never seen SRT live, but I have seen Robinson and, of course, Mitch perform, and if there is one of the Jazz on the Green gigs not to miss, it is this one.
Country singer Michael Ray is your Westfair County Fair headliner tonight at Westfair. You may remember him from reality TV show The Next: Fame Is at Your Doorstep. He won the whole thing with John Rich as his mentor. Also on the lineup is our own Sack of Lions.
I am a big fan of Americana song-writer Pony Bradshaw, and especially his 2023 album North Georgia Rounder. If I didn’t have a wedding tonight, I would be in attendance for sure. He is at Bourbon Theater in Lincoln.
Other happenings tonight include roots and blues performer Mike Hollon at The Zoo Bar for the early show and a lineup of R&B artists including Jus. B and Keiria Marsha at Reverb Lounge. Touring country artist Dylan Wheeler is at Slowdown and it’s Omaha Bike Week at The Granary with Lemon Fresh Day.
