May 9 2026 (Pull the Covers Off)
5 bands, one night only tributes from the 90s.
Beck, Saw Doctors, REM, Paramore, 311
Thanks go out to Austin and all of his talented musician friend for putting this series together.
Besides REM & Beck , the rest of the bands were a little 'after' my time, but even though I wasn't familiar with some of the songs I did enjoy everyone's set and the passion in the performances and the dedication to the material.
The Beck tribute was uniquely entertaining as they made it their own, performing on acoustic, ukulele and theremin!
I wasn't sure who the Saw Doctors were, so on the way in I listened and instantly knew the McCrites were up to the task. Lots of energy and dedication to a band they obviously love!
REM got the crowd on their feet and was performed by guys closer to my age which made sense as they played a song that I hadn't heard in ages 'Catapult' from 1983! Fun and faithful to the material.
I know 'of' Paramore but this gave me a greater appreciation of what they are. Hard rocking, great vocals and again passion for the material.
311 closed the night with a surprise for me. I only know Andy & Emily from the C**t & the Coyotes project which is americana, rock and soul so to see them Rap & Rock was FUN! The crowd was into it as well , sang along and was a great closer for the night....
