Mynabirds Return, Lainey Rising, Ugly Reggae and Rock Infused Rap
Friday Night Live Music Lineup
Hey! It’s the weekend. Doesn’t really feel like it to me, but the thing I carry in my hand all day says differently. If you got a message to enter a chat on here from me yesterday, that certainly came from me. I apologize. I was playing around with the function to see how it looks and if there is a possabiltiy of hosting some chats. Well, it’s very glitchy and it sent that out (or I am just old and struggling with new interfaces). I didn’t like how it works. I do want to make this a little more interactive occaisinally, and allow people to from the area to talk about music through this platform, but I don’t think that is going to be it.
There is a long list of things to do below. If you want to plan out the rest of the weekend you can do so HERE. Check out my interview with Dogs In A Pile HERE and take a look at what concerts were announced this week HERE.
Lainey Wilson really blew up quickly. She played at Homer’s on the day her last album came out. That night she was opening for I think Luke Combs or someone. Now a little over a year later she is headlining her own arena tour and has a new album out entitled Whirlwind. She will be joined by Jackson Dean and Zach Top at CHI Center Omaha tonight.
Mynabirds is coming back to Nebraska for two shows this weekend. The former Nebraska resident Laura Burhen is doing a tour of solo shows. The shows are through Undertow, which means that they are house shows or at “alternative venues,” and you typically do not know where they are until you buy the ticket. The Omaha show on November 9th is sold out. That will be at the Church/Art House tomorrow. They have added a November 10th show, and there are a dozen tickets left. I am not sure if it is at the same place, as it does not tell you, but it does say the event space is a “community center," so possibly the same place. Tonight, the Mynabirds are at First Day Vinyl in Lincoln, and that is also sold out, and I will be heading down to that performance. You can get on a waiting list for that show in case something opens up. Mynabirds are a favorite band of mine, and I absolutely enjoy all of their albums and music. Very much looking forward to this.
Reggae band Bumpin Uglies returns to Omaha with a show at Slowdown tonight. It will be cold so this will warm you up. the band is souring on their latest album Lyrics Over Everything that came out in June.
Rapper Ekoh brings his Drag Me From Hell tour to The Waiting Room tonight. I just listened to the song “Pickle Rick” where he sampled Creedence Clearwater Revival. Fun. There is definately a hard rock vibe to some of these tracks also and everyone from Senses Fail to TechN9ne guest on his latest album Pressure.
There are a ton of area bands and artists performing tonight and you can check the full list below. Some of them are Carver Jones at Bar 39, Ro Hempel at Harney Street Tavern, and Dear Neighbors, Trees With Eyes, Deth Rali at O’Leavers.
