Thanksgiving in Spokane and a Black Friday matinee at AMC River Park Square 20 have been a tradition for years for guitarist Al Pitrelli. The musical director of Trans-Siberian Orchestra prefaces the bandâs annual Black Friday night show with some quality time in the Inland Northwest.
âFor the last five or six years, what Iâm accustomed to, and the same goes for the rest of Trans-Siberian Orchestra, is that we celebrate Thanksgiving in Spokane and then we go to the movies the following day before we perform at the Spokane Arena,â Pitrelli said from his Milford, Pennsylvania, home.
âI remember seeing the premiere of the film âCreedâ in Spokane (in 2015), and we go back to that theater every year. I love Spokane, but things are obviously a little different this year.â
