Leslie & the LY's
Monday 3.17
StoneRing
Club Tavern, 6:30 pm
America's favorite Irish holiday on a Monday? You could curse the calendar, but you'd have more fun celebrating with help from the Celtic-minded StoneRing and the Pints.
The Kissers
High Noon Saloon, 8 pm
Of course the beloved Kissers would celebrate the release of their new collection of Irish rock, Live Candy Ratz, on Saint Patrick's Day. And of course they'll make the Guinness flow like a river.
Tuesday 3.18
Rob Dz
Cardinal Bar, 9 pm
Local wordsmith Dz's upbeat hip-hop and opener Supa Ranks & His Rock Stone High Power's grooving dancehall reggae ought to vibrate this Madison institution right down to its bones.
Wednesday 3.19
Thursday 3.20
Overture After Work
Overture Hall Lobby, 5 pm
Tim Whalen's swinging jazz trio adds some bounce to your happy hour. Free!
Wis-Kino
Escape Java Joint, 7 pm
The local filmmaking collaborative screens short films on small budgets, created in the past 48 hours according to Kino's idiosyncratic guidelines. The theme here is "Music Video."
Sarah Benck & the Robbers
Annex, 7 pm
This staple of Omaha's productive music scene plays soulful, Americana-anchored rock that gets most of its kick from Benck's powerful pipes. Whitney Mann & the Boys and Boo Bradley open.
Leslie & the LY's
High Noon Saloon, 9 pm
Leslie Hall's cheapo disco wear and comic raps about things Midwestern and weird make her an unlikely dancing queen. Screamin' Cyn Cyn & the Pons' appearance in the support slot marks their return from South by Southwest.
Cafe Montmartre, 10 pm
Sometimes the clever, disciplined The Selfish Gene comes across as ELO without the string section. And that's not a bad thing at all. Sissy Wish and the Swimmers open.
