Big Head Todd and the Monsters
at Palace Theatre
first-avenue.com

Big Head Todd and the Monsters is returning to the Palace Theatre this January 13th.

We saw Big Head Todd at the Palace Theatre in Jan 2018 and said, “Todd Park Mohr and band (Brian Nevin– drums; Rob Squires– bass; Jeremy Lawton– keys / pedal steel) have been a band for thirty-two years now and made their new album, New World Arisin’ (on the band’s own Big Records) “to show we still could” and Big Head Todd and the Monsters still showed their formidable live chops with a two-hour set of the band’s own unique blend of Colorado rock, blues, and soul. In front of a trippingly-illustrated backdrop and amongst simple but effective lighting, the foursome took to the stage beginning with a cut from one of Mohr’s biggest guitar heroes, Jimi Hendrix. BHTM mostly let the music do the talking, eager not only to play songs from the new album, but also to work in as many crowd favorites in, as possible too.”

G. Love and Donavon
Frankenreiter
with Nat Myers
at First Avenue
first-avenue.com

The special G. Love and Donavon Frankenreiter co-headlining tour will stop by First Avenue on January 14th.

We saw G Love and Special Sauce in Oct 2022 and wrote, “As for G. Love aka Garrett Dutton, it’s hard to believe he recently turned fifty, as except for some gray hair under that pork-pie hat, still looks much like he did when he broke through in the mid-90s, and Dutton remembered first visiting the city on his first full tour in 1994. The new album is Philadelphia Mississippi, released in June (on his Philadelphonic Records) and is more of the trademark blend of hip-hop, folk, alternative, soul and blues blend, he and his two bandmates (Chuck Treece– drums; Jimi “Jazz” Prescott– string bass) have come to be known for.”
