This Saturday night is a new concept of three newer local bands all sharing the stage together.

Some younger groups that have been around town for a little bit, a lot of graduates from the School of Rock.  We've put them all together in one night.  A very low ticket price.  We want to see if we can get a crowd and a great experience for these bands.

Pioneer Place owner Ray Herrington says PSA The Band opens at 7:30 p.m., Borrowed Time starts at 8:15 p.m., and Muffleur ends the night starting at 9:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 each, plus fees.

Next Thursday, March 19th, they are kicking off three live shows in a row with the duo of The Brotherhood featuring Kevin Burt and Ken Valdez.

This is another duo that's never played here before.  Kevin and Ken are Midwest guys; they've been doing acoustic sets of some of the best Blues and Rock, Funk and Soul stuff.

Herrington says Friday, March 20th, there's a tribute to Fleetwood Mac, and Saturday, March 21st, is a tribute to the Superstar Women of Country.

The following weekend, they have four days in a row of live music, including two sold-out shows of The Fabulous Armadillos and Collective Unconscious.

A benefit concert and silent auction will be on Sunday, March 29th at 3:00 p.m., supporting immigrant families in Central Minnesota.
