Quite the array of shows we have this evening before the day before Turkey Day. Bruno Mars at South Side Music Hall Peter Gene Hernandez, aka Bruno Mars, was supposedly born in Hawaii, but I have my doubts. The Hawaiian Health Authority refuses to provide a bona fide copy of…
As usual, Monday evening’s musical registry isn’t exactly overflowing with shows, especially being a holiday week and all. But there are still a couple of things worth checking out. Hosannas, Darktown Strutters and Florene at City Tavern Although our own Darktown Strutters are listed as the headliners for this triple…
