Entertainment Calendar

	SHOOTER JENNINGS PRESENTS: WAYLON FOREVER LIVE THURSDAY, MARCH 18 $20/$10 Northern Lights Theater   8 p.m. The only son of country legends Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter, Shooter Jennings literally spent his childhood on a tour bus. Born Waylon Albright Jennings, Shooter was playing drums by the time he was five years old and had already begun taking piano lessons, only to break them off and follow his own path to an understanding of the instrument. He discovered guitar at 14 and rock & roll (particularly Southern rock and the loose-limbed hard rock of Guns N' Roses) at 16. His fourth studio album, Black Ribbons, produced by Dave Cobb, appeared early in 2010.
	JASON D. WILLIAMS and SLEEPY LABEEF FRIDAY, MARCH 19 $15 Northern Lights Theater   9:00 p.m. Enthusiastic, Reckless, Stormy, Rock & Roll in its natural state ... This explains why the Kansas City Star Pronounced Jason D. Williams as "the past and future of rock & roll." The Beacon Journal dubbed him as "The worlds greatest piano player." Most importantly this reminds you of why you got into rock & roll in the first place, to get a little wild. After seeing a live show there will be no doubt why fans and critics alike agree with that summation of the dynamic piano player from Memphis. Jason D. has the same musical innovation and on the edge attitude as Jerry Lee and the King.
	FREDDIE JACKSON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24 $40/$30 Northern Lights Theater   8 p.m. To urban contemporary listeners, Freddie Jackson was one of the biggest stars of the latter half of the '80s, dominating the R&B charts seemingly at will. Freddie Jackson’s forte was sophisticated, romantic soul ballads aimed at adult audiences, but he was also capable of tackling urban contemporary dance fare and even the occasional jazz tune.
	An Evening with WILLIE NELSON THURSDAY, MARCH 25 SOLD OUT Northern Lights Theater   8:00 p.m. The title of Willie Nelson’s solo debut on Blue Note Records, American Classic, refers as much to the man himself as to the storied Tin Pan Alley repertoire he explores on this elegant new set. While it’s common now for mature pop artists to attempt to put their own stamp on the American Songbook, Nelson practically invented the approach. He set the standard for, well, playing the standards more than thirty years ago with Stardust, perhaps this “outlaw” entertainer’s most daring move, an album that many industry pundits thought would get him laughed off the charts and out of the biz.
	An Evening with KANSAS FRIDAY, MARCH 26 SOLD OUT Northern Lights Theater   8 p.m. In the annals of heartland rock, the music of Kansas has always stood out like a beacon – a fusion of early ’70s-style British progressive rock seasoned with Midwestern bar band roots, filtered through organic 10-minute arrangements that laid the foundation for the jam band revolution of the ’90s and ’00s. Thirty years after the release of their self-titled debut album (back in 1974), Kansas is still rocking around the world with original first generation band members intact.
	BRET MICHAELS Roses and Thorns Tour 2010 MARCH 30 - 31 $35/$25 Northern Lights Theater   8 p.m. Two Shows! As front man for the legendary rock band Poison, Michaels has sold 25 million records and scored an amazing 15 chartbusting Top 40 singles including “Talk Dirty to Me,” “Something to Believe In,” “Nothing But a Good Time” and the timeless #1 smash “Every Rose Has its Thorn.” And in the new millennium Poison’s music has been featured in such big screen flicks as “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” “Grandma’s Boy” and “Deuce Bigelow-European Gigolo.”
	RAY PRICE & ROY CLARK THURSDAY, APRIL 1 $45/$35 Northern Lights Theater   8 p.m. Ray Price is one of American music's truly great stars. He was inducted into Nashville's Country Music Hall of Fame in 1996, but has long shown his genius in other genres as well. After more than a half-century in the business, Ray can still belt out a song with the best of them, whether it's honky-tonk, country, pop, blues, jazz, or anything in between. With his May 2000 Buddha Records release, Prisoner of Love, Ray has delightfully proven this once again with a big-band-backed medley in many moods and styles. Virginia born, multi-award winning virtuoso, actor, vocalist, philanthropist, Roy Clark has headlined some of the world's most prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall and Madison Square Garden. Roy became a Grand Ole Opry member in 1987. He was a favorite recurring actor on the classic television sitcom "The Beverly Hillbillies" which spawned several acting roles on television and the movies.

If you listened to rock radio in the mid-to-late 80's, chances are a week didn't go by that you weren't smacked between the ears by a wall of sound generated by a musical quintet called Queensrÿche.
