Two significant anniversaries are being celebrated this week, and they both offer opportunities for great live music in fun venues.
If you haven't visited Kirk Avenue Music Hall yet, well shame on you! Tonight, Saturday, 11/14/09, they celebrate one year on the Roanoke scene - a busy year that has brought Roanokers some of the best music we've seen/heard in eons! Tonight Bill Kirchen, the first act to open the venue, will make his triumphant return to the stage to burn it up with his band, The Hammer of the Honky Tonk Gods. If you've never heard the former Commander Cody guitarist, you owe it to your musical cred to come check it out: Kirchen NEVER disappoints.
The other anniversary of note will be celebrated next Friday, 11/20, in honor of The Taubman Museum's first year in Roanoke. Hometown favorites Southern Culture on the Skids will be bringing their infamous "toe-suckin' geek rock" surf-a-billy sound to the hallowed halls of our controversial institution, proving that even Roanoke's "high brows" can get down and bang the pots and pans!
Another "must-see" band, SCOTS boasts the sultry vocal stylings and groovin' bass playing of Roanoke's own Mary Huff, as well as the one and only Dave Hartman on skins, keeping the steady beat going for guitarist Rick Miller's crazy antics and stellar playing. Tease up your beehive & break out that sharkskin blazer - or your favorite pair of overalls - and come do the limbo. Opener Wrenn Mangum makes a rare Star City appearance as a young Elvis - the perfect warm up for a night of campy fun! A year of folks whining over the building deserves a night of tacky chicken slingin'! Don't miss it!
