To our Lincoln area readers, there are a couple fun things going down tonight that you might want to brave the elements for.

Downtown at The Bourbon Theater the Loup River Band is having a CD release party. Show is at 9pm, $4 for 21+ $6 for 18-20. Here’s an excerpt from today’s Journal Star:

Loup River Band & Street Choir has made itself a fine album. It’s called The Year Of Biscuits And Gravy, and it’s being released tonight at The Bourbon Theater. That’s the who, what, when, and where for the show that will showcase one of the best Lincoln records of the year. Ranging from the straight country of “Game Day Waltz” to the Springsteen Nebraska-ish “I Seem To Have It All”, through rock ‘n’ roll, alternative country-rock, and a little folk, the Loup River Band has crafted a disc that is of a place and time, but also somehow timeless and universal, as is the case with all great roots music.

Across town and at the same time (9pm) is a free showing of The Skunkape Story at the Joyo Theater. I’m planning to go to Skunkape but I’m sure both events will be loads of fun. Have a great weekend, everybody!
