FRIDAY: Chris Knight returns to 333; AIDS council’s ‘Night Music’
-Chris Knight sold out his last performance at 333 on Broad, and there is absolutely no doubt that this one will sell out, too. But don’t let that stop you from trying to be there. The Kentucky-based country singer and songwriter is well respected amongst critics, fans, and other modern and classic country artists. We are glad to have him come through Rome and are thankful for 333 on Broad for making that happen.
The Aids Resource Council presents A Little Night of Music III featuring local favorites Devidasa, Precious Lemons, and Cat Sellers. This is a great opportunity to support your community and enjoy great music at the same time. The show will take place at the Schroeder’s Courtyard.
I’m glad to welcome a new venue to town. DJ’s Tavern opened this week on John Davenport Drive and Leslie Gaddy will kick off their season of music Friday night. Leslie plays acoustic Southern rock and country.
SATURDAY: Scott Thompson at 333; DJ’s welcomes Buck & Duke
-Kilroy’s at VFW Post 4911 on Cedartown Highway will offer the music of Mr. Mean’r, one of the area’s finest party bands. They have a wide array of tunes to choose from and always put on a good rock ‘n’ roll-fueled performance.
The John Lee Hookers will return to the 400 Block Bar where they have previously left crowds completely blown away with their tribute to the early blues masters and Memphis-based rockabilly. This is Clay Broome’s most recent project. He has accumulated an excellent trio that has been a complete success so far.
Scott Thompson will be back at 333 on Broad. Scott is one of Rome’s favorite performers who never seems to lose momentum. With a great personality and a diverse selection of original tunes and classics, folks always leave happy from a Scott Thompson show.
Buck & Duke make a welcome return to the event calendar with a Saturday night performance at DJ’s Tavern. Buck & Duke made serious waves with their first album that featured the hit “All Roads Lead to Rome.”
The recent house shows have been met with great enthusiasm and the series continues. Saturday night will feature indie rockers Cactus’s, who previously played here at The Greenhouse and were a huge hit. The Pox, Unseen Stimuli and Hoot n’ Annie will start off the evening at 7 Myrtle St. in South Rome.
