There was a fairly obvious band choice this weekend. That’s amidst a Friday show by Saving Starz that packed the spacious Village Inn, at least early on and mainly in the bar area, causing Geno to wonder aloud if his hard-strummed but acoustic guitar could be heard in the wings; and calls by at least two local clubs on their signs — one in Hudson and the other in North Hudson — to have other local guys the New Skinny play Pepperfest.

That band choice is having Sterns County 17 border hop on Saturday and play at the Corner Saloon in River Falls, bringing across the I-94 bridge their state’s “hottest live country” with a rock ‘n roll edge complete with fiddle — is that an oxymoron? — and a high energy stage show to boot.
