Reports and rumors

I've been bemoaning the weak music schedule rolling through West Virginia for the last six weeks. By now, we should be seeing some concerts getting booked. So far, it's looking pretty slim. About the high point, so far, is Dokken (kind of a poor man's Def Leppard) is playing the new Tequila Rocks in Huntington. This is supposedly happening June 20.

Time to party like it's 1987. They'll probably do that song from "Nightmare on Elmstreet 2" -a classic.

Otherwise, same weekend... some place called Canvas,WV is having a musical throw down you could probably call the economic rehabilitation tour, featuring Confederate Railroad, Kentucky Headhunters, Aaron Tippin and Sammy Kershaw. Yee-fucking-haw!

Mid-June in the mountain state is looking like a good time to upgrade your Netflix or visit friends in Ohio.

  1. The upside is that for $500, Tequila Rocks has a VIP lounge with its own stripper poles and suspended cages you can dance in.

  2. Or you could catch local Beatles genre band Rubber Soul for free on the West Side stage during FestivAll on June 20. FestivAll has something for everyone.
