“The Shed” announces lineup for spring concert season!
“The Shed” at Smoky Mountain Harley-Davidson, 1820 W. Lamar Alexander Parkway in Maryville, is holding the second of its “Shed Unplugged” performances this weekend, featuring Ray Wylie Hubbard and his son, Lucas. (There’s another one slated for March 20 featuring singer-songwriter Fred Eaglesmith.) However, the good folks over at the dealership are already looking ahead to a bang-up spring and summer concert season, and just now they posted the lineup for the first three months up on their Myspace page. Here it is:
April 3: Unknown Hinson
April 10: Voodoo Lounge (Rolling Stones tribute)
April 17: Scott Miller and the Commonwealth
April 24: Mustang Sally
May 1: Winds of Thor (Led Zeppelin tribute)
May 8: Shannon McNally
May 15: Ray Wylie Hubbard with Hayes Carll
May 22: Bill “The Sauce Boss” Wharton
May 28: Devon Allman’s Honeytribe
June 5: Goose Creek Symphony
June 12: Todd Snider
June 19: Use Your Illusion (Guns N’ Roses tribute)
June 26: Hackensaw Boys
No word yet on ticket prices; if organizers follow last year’s formula, they’ll range from $5-$15. (I think the most expensive was $25 last fall for Leon Russell.) More details, including local bands added to the lineup, extending it into the fall and exact start times, will be announced later.
Lucero returns to Barley’s Taproom
After a November show that pulled them from their usual Knoxville venue — Barley’s Taproom, 200 E. Jackson Ave. in Knoxville’s Old City — Memphis rock outfit Lucero appears to be returning there on Friday, March 26. The Barley’s live music calendar for March lists the band as performing there that night as part of the monthly “Funhouse Presents” showcases, brought to you by that wacky duo Rob Levering and Derek Senter, hosts of “The Funhouse” from 8-10 p.m. every Friday on WUTK-FM, 90.3 The Rock.
We did a story on the band when they played The Valarium last November, and the group’s most recent album — “1372 Overton Park” — made my year-end best-of list for 2009. Check out Lucero online here; no word yet on how much tickets might be or who the opening act is — our fingers are crossed for Glossary, the Murfreesboro-based band that frequently collaborates with Lucero and just put out a new CD, “Feral Fire,” on Lucero’s Liberty and Lament label.
Other notable March shows at Barley’s: Shannon McNally on Friday, March 5 … The Dynamites featuring Charles Walker on Saturday, March 6 … a CD release show by Knoxville expatriate and Nashville singer-songwriter Matt Urmy on Friday, March 12 … and former Dixie Dirt front woman/singer-songwriter Kat Brock on Sunday, March 21.
UPDATE: Tickets to the Lucero show will be $13 in advance and $15 at the door; still no word on opening bands. (Still crossing fingers for Glossary.) Call Barley’s at 521-0092 for more information.
