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.
Gracia Harrison plays Crows Mill Pub this Saturday night. Greetings fellow travelers, as we re coming round the bend, heading out of the pandemic parking lot and back onto the highway of how it used to be. Please continue to be diligent in being careful and staying safe so that our adventure may continue, working through the muck and back to solid ground. As more and more live music gets added each week to our listings, good signs for the road ahead include a couple of new places having music, continued expansion of weeknight gigs and the spring fling precipitation from earlier in the week melting after leaving a few flowers blooming in the snow.
