Do. Not. Miss. This. Show.

I probably say this a lot. But hell, why shouldn't I?
Four fantastic bands will be playing Lighthouse on Friday the 25th (that's this Friday for those of you who are deathly afraid of calendars)... and a Magician.

The show starts at 9pm and it costs $3 to get in if you are over 21 and $5 to get in if you're under.

Five dollars. That is ONE dollar per act (if you are under 21). Deals like this don't come around that often.

So let us get to the meat of this post.

My Name is John Michael comes from New Orleans. When a band comes from New Orleans, you know they will be good. And they are. I can't describe them, they have their own full, happy sound. Just listen!


Shine River brings the rock. Think Black Keys and White Stripes. It's melt your face blues-rock. How can you go wrong with that? You can't.

The Tipsy Bacchanals are Elon's favorite student band. Bringing you best classic rock, grunge and original heavy metal tunes. "Medicine Woman," that's rock.

Red Collar. I have said all that I needed about Red Collar. Truly one of the most rocking, energy-filled live shows. Here, at Elon.

Finally, this brings me to Magician Michael Casey. Magic Mike is pretty much the resident local music magician here in North Carolina. You can catch him rocking out at shows and you can catch him making shit disappear at shows. Now, he does not get on stage since he is a close-up magician (as opposed to one of those showy, egomaniac, look at me I can freeze myself, magicians), so you need to look for the circle of people crowding around while bands switch and set up. Mike does things with cards that you have never seen before. He will blow minds.

So you're not doing anything Friday night except coming out to The Lighthouse. Got it? Good. You'll thank me later.
