There are a lot of open mics this week beginning tonight at the Slice with progressive rock trio Lustre Creame (who tore up the Slice up over the weekend) and Treeline’s Taylor Ackerman. Another open mic which is becoming more popular every week is at the 1010 every Tuesday night at 9 p.m.
Local country duo Tom and Curt are at the Front Row Pub this weekend, which means they are also hosting an open jam on Thursday night as well.
There won’t be a second open mic at the folk club this month because of Tanglefoot’s farewell tour which is next Friday.
If you were pumped up by the Swollen Members at the Blarney Stone, this past Saturday, check out some local rappers at Battleground 6, Nov. 20 at Henotic. Lrev and Nickname will be battling along with Heavy Knowledge, urban voyce, jfuller and Shawn C.
Henotic also has a couple big rock shows, Nov. 21 with the Browns, Spastic Panthers, the Dregs and the Moby Dicks in the GCBC Lounge and several local bands including the Void, Dirti Speshuls and Milk Tea playing on the main floor.
If you like more roots and blues, the Slice has an excellent show, Nov. 21. Chris Carmichael who was last in Lethbridge playing with the Perpetrators several months ago, will be playing a solo show with Scotty Hills and local blues rock duo the Smoke Stack Jacks.
The Slice is also bringing popular folk/pop singer Rob Szabo back to town, Nov. 20 with Ryan Hennessey and Tyson Wiebe.
Next Tuesday and wednesday, there will be a very cool show Nov. 24-25 at the Geomatic Attic.
Bluesman Guy Davis is in Lethbridge for a two night mid-week run. And as a special surprise, he is touring with banjo player Rod Davis, who played in a skiffle group in Liverpool back in the day called the Quarrymen. You might member them as the group that introduced the world to a budding John Lennon, who went on to form little band called the Beatles. Davis will be playing a 35 minute set to open.
