The last week of July and first week of August starts pretty slowly with several shows in unusual places.
But start off the week with laughter at the Owl Acoustic Lounge, July 27 where their monthly comedy open mic will be happening.
After you’ve laughed, get ready to rock with Detroit rockers Pop Evil who return to Average Joes, July 28 with special guests Red Dun Rising.
Pop Evil have a hot new single on the radio called “ Footsteps,” off their new CD “Up.” They also have several other number one singles “Trenches,”“Deal With the Devil” and “Torn To Pieces”
The show begins at 8:30 p.m. Tickets cost $25 in advance, $30 on the day of the show.
And get ready for an eclectic weekend. Frankie Hidalgo and the MVPs will get those toes tapping with high energy salsa music at Casino Lethbridge, July 29 and 30.
There are a couple of completely different options on the weekend as well. Ghostkeeper will be sharing some of their new electronica and hip hop inspired music at the Slice as they open a big show with popular Calgary indie rock band Raleigh and Montreal’s Chairs.
