Go to Church: New country star Eric Church missed out on all four Grammy nominations he was up for this year but the Nashville singer-songwriter still struck a chord with a live performance of his number one hit “Give Me Back My Hometown” from his platinum-selling The Outsiders album. Church is in session tonight at Rogers Arena with openers the Brothers Osbourne.
See The Maine event: The Maine, an Arizona-based rock band curiously named for a different American state entirely, play the Rio tonight in support of new album American Candy, currently sitting pretty at number 37 on the album charts. Guests Real Friends, Knuckle Puck, and the Technicolours open.
Get wizardous: Brit doom rockers Electric Wizard bring the doom and gloom treatment to Rickshaw Theatre in support of timely release Time to Die. Satan's Satyrs open.
Watch some wooden acting: The Old Trouts hit show Famous Puppet Death Scenes continues to kill it at the York Theatre tonight featuring a string of famous scenes culled from the best puppet shows in history that aren’t affiliated with Jim Henson.
Get proud: “It’s spooky how like Stephen Harper actor Andrew Wheeler is in Proud and it’s not all in the grey, plastered-down wig,” said Courier theatre critic Jo Ledingham in her review of Michael Healey award-winning political satire last year. A remount of the hit show continues tonight at Firehall Arts Centre.
