Last Friday night The Gothic Theatre was the place to be for good ol’ fashioned Americana Rock-n-Roll. Jackie Greene was in the house and while he didn’t bring the hippest and youngest crowd in town out to see him perform, his fans are loyal and passionate. There was plenty of elbow room to move and dance on the floor of the Art Deco theater but it by no means felt empty as aging Deadheads put back their whiskey shots and puffed joints while their more conservative contemporaries pretended not to notice.

Estimated read time 3 min read

Bob Weir stops into The Paramount this week on his solo acoustic tour and by all accounts this is a must see show as he transforms from the front man to the man up front, going it alone like the archetypal cowboy. It’s Weir boiled down: passionate singing, masterful songwriting, unique guitar work, and surely some hilarious one-liners delivered in his classic deadpan style. So ante up to play another hand with Bobby but don’t be surprised when he lays down a Royal Flush, Aces back-to-back.
