MARCH 23: PANTAGES THEATRE
Rick Springfield

Speaking of 'spring', if you grew up in the 80s, like I did, you'd remember that massive hit song "Jessie's Girl" by Rick Springfield, which he won a Grammy for Best Mal Rock Vocal Performance.

The Australian guitarist is currently on a 'Stripped Down' solo performance tour. The a-typical tour will include feedback from his fans with an interactive Q&A Session. Also, starting in late June, he'll be playing alongside his friends and fellow musicians, Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo. That tour will mark the first time that Rick will tour with Pat and Neil.

Kind Red Spirits at the Turf Club

Playing over at the Turf Club in St Paul are locals Kind Red Spirits, with Old Desert Road and Danny Morrison & the 241's. The show is only $5.

Meanwhile, The Internet (featuring Odd Future member Syd and Matt Martians) comes to the Triple Rock Social Club, fresh off their SXSW appearances. I couldn't find any information regarding a new album, so expect the band to play tracks from their 2013 album Feel Good .
