Headliner: Paper Thin Alibi
Opening Act: Rushmore / Madam Ink
Doors: 7:30pm / Show: 8pm
Tix:$8
These four musicians look to push the envelope and entertain through musical versatility, songwriting ability and stage presence. Hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, they are Tim Laigaie, Mike Yaeger, Tim Cornish and Nick Graveley. Finishing up pre-production and preparing to record their currently untitled debut album with producer Lance Walter, Paper Thin Alibi is looking to “break down barriers” in the music industry and “open eyes and ears” around the world.
North Star Bar:
Headliner: The Annuals
Opening Act: The Most Serene Republic / What Laura Says
Doors: 7pm / Show: 8pm
Tix:$12
Annuals' collaborative, no-holds-barred spirit goes well beyond the confines of the band. The group's myriad of musical, artistic, and business-related endeavors within their community of immediate friends has only begun to pick up speed. They continuously record and play shows around their hometown when not on tour, and not just as Annuals either: each individual heads his or her own side projects with all of the same members, but in different musical roles, a testament to the strength of their creative union. All of these projects revolve around hometown-based record label, Terpsikhore (also partially owned by members of Annuals), allowing the Annuals collective to act as the spearhead for a much bigger, and perhaps impossibly ambitious, dream shared by the group and all of their friends to get good music out to the masses any way possible.
Theatre of the Living Arts:
Headliner: Drake
Opening Act: None Listed
Doors: 7pm / Show: 8pm
Tix:SOLD OUT!!
Drake likes to bring variety to his shows so don't be surprised if there are at least 10 different performers who perform with him or before he gets on stage. When on stage, he also gets a lot of other people to stand behind him...talk about entourage!! Drake has an ability to go across so many genres, from a Coldplay intro (heard form many Jay-Z concerts as well), to some seemingly backpack, straight lyrics, but brings a smoother set for the ladies...GET IN!!
World Cafe Live:
Headliner: Corey Smith
Opening Act: Gareth Asher
Doors: 7pm / Show: 8pm
Tix:$24
Thanks to his astonishing gift for crafting addictively soulful songs and the high-energy reputation of his shows, Corey Smith is one of modern country's hottest young artists, a quintessentially indie performer with a dedicated following most Nashville-fueled hat racks would trade their flashy limos for. Be thankful for what you have and make the most of it. It's a lesson Corey learned growing up in the same modest, rural Georgia community that he and his family live in today. And it’s also the theme behind the title track to his typically outstanding new album Keeping Up with the Joneses, which he co-produced with Russ-T Cobb (Butch Walker, Avril Lavigne).
The Mann Center:
Headliner: Regis and Joy Philbin
Opening Act: The Philadelphia Orchestra
Doors: 7pm / Show: 8pm
Tix:$40 to $60; Lawn:$10
The celebrity-couple narrators will beguile the young and the young at heart with the reading of "Peter and the Wolf". The night is a celebration of the virtuosos in The Philadelphia Orchestra whose wind players step forward to play Mozart’s beautiful concerto for four instruments.The Mann celebrates the Orchestra as well during this opening week for the center's summer concert season. A family fun evening that has enough to entertain each family member.
