Singer-songwriter Pete Sander plays Boone s Saloon this Thursday evening. Photo by Rich Dalsin Welcome one and all to the end of April and the start of May in the year of 2021 as we take a look at the music happening in our fair city and the surrounding areas. From a year ago when venues were closed and live music was only heard online, we ve come a long way, baby. Thursdays are on a roll, my friends, which says it s all about live music being back in a big way. I spy a way-too-rare appearance by singer-songwriter Pete Sander at Boone s and the return of an open mic at Blue Grouch with Kortney Leatherwood and Sam Draper as your entertaining hosts, plus Brandon Santini and his Band at the Curve Inn, for starters to your live music happening week.
Zack Fedor joined up with Hipbone Sam back in January of 2016. As a few larger venues are able to open up as we experience an orderly lessening of the pandemic protocols around the state, a return to a music scene as we know it is in our foreseeable future. While we re waiting, how about checking out what we were doing a few years ago at this point in January? Kinda like making a Way-Back Machine move, for you fans of Mr. Peabody, or perhaps a Billy Pilgrim unstuck in time moment for followers of Kurt Vonnegut or even a
Back to the Future experience of sorts for the moviegoers among us. Buckle up and here we go.
