[DANCE PARTY] This Friday, show up at Mohawk Place to revel in all things 90s (and ‘00s). Gabby Smith and Emma LaQue, the hosts for the evening, have made sure Mohawk will be decked out in nostalgia gold.

Think N*SYNC and Britney, but certainly make sure to expect some Daddy Yankee, DMX and Will Smith as well.

[INDIE] If you’d like to see some dudes go insane, this is the show for you. Barrence Whitfield is a punk rock, Americana (yes, both) nut who gives every ounce of energy he’s got to keep us full-throttle fans entertained.

[ROCK] The way the story goes, Martin Barre’s original audition for Jethro Tull (the result of an invitation for Tull’s manager Terry Ellis following a shared bill with Barre’s band of the time, Gethsemane) didn’t go well—he was too nervous to play. But a second audition was furnished at his request, and Barre then spent the 1968 holiday season learning guitar parts for Tull’s classic Stand Up album, which got recorded the following spring.

[COUNTRY] Some side projects, a solo album, and a couple presidential terms after their anti-Iraq war hullaballoo, Dixie Chicks are finally ready to make nice, returning to the stage in support of a Sony reissue campaign that sees all their material available on vinyl for the first time. Originally slated as a European-only tour, the group extended it by forty shows, playing headlining gigs in the United States and Canada for the first time in a decade.

[FOLK] If you’ve been having a hard time with the bilge pump of passionless commercial country flooding your senses, Denver’s Paper Bird might just be the perfect remedy. Having undergone some game-changing lineup shifts since their 2007 inception, the indie-folk-pop ensemble is coming to Babeville’s 9th Ward in support of a self-titled new full length.
