[ROCK] The 97 Rock Weenie Roast is back, and bringing together some classic 1970s rock greats: Journey, the San Francisco-based rock outfit, famous for the ubiquitous “Don’t Stop Believing”; and, The Doobie Brothers, who are best known for their power-rock anthems, including “Long Train Runnin” and “Black Water,” as well as their (possibly even more popular) pop-led eff

[ROCK] If you’re a fan of Workingman’s Dead (the album, not the cover band—although it could work either way) then you might enjoy the old-world twang that sometimes crept into the Grateful Dead’s output and certainly informed some of Jerry Garcia’s side projects (Old and In the Way, in particular).

Arguably one of the most influential figures of the 20th and 21st centuries, Dylan’s career has spanned half a century, boasting 35 albums, an autobiography, a documentary about his life and thousands of live performances with consistently alternating sets.

[JAZZ] The John Lehning Sextet will spend the evening covering the smooth jazz hits of Buffalonian Grover Washington Jr. on Friday, July 1 at the Pausa Art House.
