*I totally missed mentioning this last week (sorry guys!) â if you donât already have plans inked in cement for tonight (August 25), join the Newtown band PLAYBACK when they return to Colorado Brewery in Danbury. The band has already had two successful nights over there with shows featuring its second album, Urban Lullaby, and now itâs time for a third outing. Showtime is 10 pm. The club is at 6 Delay Street, just up the hill from the CityCenter Green.
*As of Wednesday afternoon, tickets were still available for all three of this weekendâs shows by DAVE MATTHEWS BAND at ctnow.com Meadows Music Theatre in Hartford. Remaining pavilion seats are $34 and $49 apiece. At this point, you canât order the tickets online and Iâm not even sure if Tickets.com is still accepting phone orders, so your best bet is to get to your closest Strawberries/Tickets.com in-store vendor or just take your chances at the Meadowsâ box office.
This weekendâs schedule is as follows: For Fridayâs show, the parking gates will open at 5 pm, the concert gates will open at 6, and showtime is 8 pm. On Saturday and Sunday, the parking lots will be opened at 4, concert gates at 5, and showtime is 7 pm.
*311 will be returning to the state in a few months, after having just played a co-headlining show at the ctnow.com Oakdale Theatre in June with Incubus. The boys will be at Hartfordâs Webster Theatre on Monday, November 6, this time as the sole headliner.
Until next week, Iâll be seeing you... on the road.
