Looking for some fun and great live music this weekend in Memphis? Here are a few of our picks!
Tonight:
You might’ve heard that Bar DKDC recently flipped the switch on a new menu (Asian inspired!) but you may not have heard that tonight the dive will host the debut of the Maitre D’s, a Booker T and the MGs cover band featuring Joe Restivo, Adam Woodard, Frank McLallen and Graham Winchester. They’ll perform the renowned Stax house band’s hits starting at 11 p.m. for just $5. All the details are here.
If you want to get a little rowdier — hit up Newby’s, where the Mighty Souls Brass Band is opening for the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. Get the scoop here and get down to some serious trombonin’.
Saturday:
There’s tons on the plate for families this weekend. Let’s start with the September edition of Rock’n’Romp, one of our favorite local music organizations. The Romp will be at the Mid-South Maze on Saturday from 2 to 5 p.m. The line-up features Wind vs. Sun, Tanks and the Mighty Souls Brass Band. The cost is just $5 for adults (with a kiddo) and that includes free beer, Central BBQ, and food from Tom’s Tiny Kitchen, Trolley Stop Market and Whole Foods. The maze is also offering discounts (adults are just $4, kids $2 and free under 5), so come early or stay late to navigate your way through!
There’s more fun to be had for the fam at the Mid- South Fair! Enjoy (what should be) great weather, food, rides and concerts at the 157th Annual Mid-South Fair at the Landers Center. It kicks off today and runs through Sept. 29. On Saturday night, the Overton Rock Band will hit the stage at 5 p.m., followed by performances from American Idol’s Nick Boddington at 7 p.m. and Michael Oby at 8 p.m. General admission is $10, $5 for youth ages 5-12 and seniors ages 55 and up.
Looking for something a little more…adult? Get saucy with the Tennessee Vaudeville Revue Burlesque show at the Hi-Tone from 9 – 11:30 p.m.
Sunday:
The rain may have put a damper on John Paul Keith’s show, originally scheduled for tonight at the Levitt Shell, but no worries — it’s been rescheduled for Sunday at 7:30 p.m.! JPK will perform favorites from his past records and songs from his new album Memphis Circa 3AM. (Get your sneak peak on Spotify here, but be warned — this album was meant to be heard on vinyl!)
