Monday, March 13
Recommended: Milky Chance @ The Bluebird
Originating from Kassel, Germany, this duo puts a melodic twist on alternative rock. Their hit song “Stolen Dance” from their first album Sadneccesary earned a spot on Billboard’s Top 100 for a solid 25 weeks. They gained popularity when their Youtube video for “Stolen Dance” went viral and hence sold out shows in numerous countries since they began touring in 2013. With their new album Blossom out on March 17, there’s a good chance you’ll be one of the first to preview the new release.

After nearly two decades, Save Ferris takes the stage once more. Aside from a short six-show U.S. tour in 2016, the California born ska band is taking on its first full tour since 1997. They are best known for their single “Come On Eileen” – the hit song has since been featured in numerous movies. Gaining traction from the popularity of the single, the band also made an on-screen appearance in the 1999 cult classic 10 Things I Hate About You. Relive the ’90s by catching their performance this coming Tuesday at the Bluebird Theatre.

Recommended: Joey Fatts @ The Roxy
Hailing from Long Beach, California the rapper and producer Joey Fatts is back on tour. Coming from an adverse background, Fatts has come into his own, making waves in the world of rap. In 2011 his cousin – who happens to be rapper Vince Staples – convinced him to make the leap into making his own music as well as producing beats for other artists. He got his start in the industry after ASAP Yams discovered his talent, and has since worked along side ASAP Rocky as well as collaborating with artists like Snoop Dog and The Game.

Recommended: Klingande with Z-W and Punjahbae @ The Bluebird

He has established his own style of deep/tropical house, and through his energetic beats and effervescent demeanor on stage, he’s proved fully capable of entrancing his audience with one hell of a show.
