Because a good portion of Lethbridge’s music community including both fans and and musicians, will be going up Nazareth’s Dan McCafferty. Photo by Ian Lyellto Fort Macleod for the South Country Fair, it ends up being a pretty slow week for live music in Lethbridge.


However there is one big show happening this week at  Coyote Joes, July 16.
Scottish classic rockers Nazareth will be playing an array of hits like ‘Razamanaz,’ ‘This Flight Tonight,’ ‘Love Hurts,’ and ‘Hair of The Dog.’

 


The band features  original members , bassist Pete Agnew and lead vocalist  Dan McCafferty with lead guitarist  Jimmy Murrison and drummer Lee Agnew.
Tickets are $40 in advance, $50 at the door. The show starts at 10 p.m.


The Slice is going out with a bang before they close up for South Country Fair, they are bringing in Calgary metal band Kobra and The Lotus, July 14 with local Alexisonfire meets the Foo Fighters inspired rock band Berserker.

There is another big metal show  at the Vent in Coaldale, July 15. Check out the Pissoffs, Subsistance, Parapsychotic, Silenced youth and Deathspot Radio , July 15 at 9 p.m. Tickets are $10.

 


Fred Eaglesmith is in Lethbridge tonight to play the Slice, however the show is sold out.
For something a little more mellow, local country /folk singer Karen Romanchuk plays the Mocha Cabana on Friday and Saturday.

And as per usual there are a lot of open mics this week. Ben Brown hosts a popular open mic on Wednesday at the Bar One Lounge, next to the Sandman Inn. There are four open mics on Thursday including an acoustic jam at  the Owl Acoustic Lounge and an acoustic open mic at  the Good Earth Coffee House. Plus there are  open mics at Beaches and at Coyote Joes.

On Monday, July 19, South Country Fair favourite Lily Fawn accompanied by her band  Lily’s Brightest Dark Lullabye band will  be playing the Slice with Mike Grabow and Greg Gomola.
