Friday Night Live Music Lineup
Happy Friday! You can get ahead on your weekend plans HERE with the weekly calendar. HERE is the list of concerts with tickets going on sale today. Have a great weekend!
Today marks the release of a new single from area singer-songwriter Natalie Christie from her upcoming EP Reverie. “Between the Lines” was produced and arranged by longtime area musician Lucas Kellison and Natalie Christie states, “I wrote the music and lyrics to this song, and it stems from a deeply personal place. A blend of traditional folk instruments from mandolin and banjo to slide guitar creates wistful memories against a backdrop of shimmering, ethereal vocals. Between the Lines poignantly reflects on love and loss, recalling a longing for the past through a dreamy Folk/Americana sound.” You can check out the single for yourself on all of the usual streaming outlets. Here is a link to the You Tube stream.
People are very excited about this show including people that work at Slowdown. Chicago post metal band Russian Circles will be there tonight They are bringing along Pelican also from Chicago. Some people remember a fun instore Pelican did at the old Homer’s at 132nd and Center years ago.
Modern reggae band Kash’d Out are always vibing and they bring that vibe to Reverb Lounge tonight. They just released the song “Under Pressure” with Lot 49 where they start the song with “It’s the mother fucking weekend and I am ready to party”. Pretty on the nose for tonight.
This evening members of the Omaha music commuity will celebrate the life of Scott Johnson at the Down Under. Johnson was a contributor and supporter of our area open mic scene and passed away last month. It looks like from 7PM to 11PM there is an open mic that looks pretty full with signups already, and then at 11PM there will be an open jam.
His name is Kid Rock and he wants you to da bang, da dang diggy diggy your way to Chi Health Center for his show tonight with country singer Chris Janson.
