Their role of rockin’ for decades are the specialties of this weekend’s highlighted bands:
— The reigning Super Bowl kings may be new to that role, but these bands have been at the top of the hill for some time: The Zebra Mussels play the Willow River Saloon in Burkhardt on Friday night, Feb. 9, and The Strangers on Saturday night.
— Want a strong dose of crossover-country, among other musical styles? You can get it at the Smilin’ Moose on Friday night, as the band Hitfaced hits Hudson. Spanning more than four decades of music and covering material from the most recent pop to classic rock, Hitfaced also covers more than a dozen crossover-country artists as well as dance/funk and even some disco.
— Does your teen or pre-teen listen only to hip-hop? If you want to broaden their horizons, take them to Bayport BBQ, which also specializes in being a deep juke joint for blues. To the point that they offer this special for dinner: Charge a dollar for every year of their age. This obviously does not have the component of a senior discount.
