There’s a lot on the calendar this weekend. These are a few shows you can actually check out ahead of time.

Friday brings in a pair of out-of-town lineups, each in a different direction. Logan Mize is at Aby’s in Rapid City with Brandon Jones on the bill, while Cascadel plays the Matthews in Spearfish with My Second Rodeo opening. Both start at 7:00 PM, which puts them directly up against each other, just in different towns.

Saturday in downtown Rapid City there’s lots of options within walking distance of each other. Aby’s hosts The Dirt Road Getaway and Speed City Demons, the Black Hills Symphony Orchestra performs American in Paris at the Performing Arts Center, South Dakota Kids That Rock The Monument, and finish the night off with The Adults at Murphys. It’s a mix of bar shows, a full orchestra performance, and a youth showcase, and some good old outlaw country and greazy rock!

FRIDAY NIGHT

Friday night splits between Rapid City and Spearfish. One is a touring country stop at Aby’s. The other is a seated show at the Matthews.

Logan Mize + Brandon Jones

Fri, Apr 10 • 7:00 PM
@ Aby’s Rapid City

Logan Mize is on a regional run and stops in Rapid tonight, with Brandon Jones on the bill. The set leans into country songwriting with a mix of original tracks and a few covers worked in.

Give them a listen…


Cascadel + My Second Rodeo

Fri, Apr 10 • 7:00 PM
@ The Matthews Opera House & Arts Center

Cascadel plays indie roots rock with guitar, keys, and vocal harmonies, with My Second Rodeo opening the night. The songs move between folk, country, and more layered arrangements, with some longer sections worked into the set. The Matthews keeps the focus on the music, so it tends to be a more attentive crowd from the start.

Give them a listen…
