It's the middle of the week and there are some great shows to get us over the hump as we inch our way to the weekend. Humphreys boasts a night of swing and rockabilly as Brian Setzer returns to town. His shows are always hoppin', whether he's got the full orchestra or a tapered down version of the band with him. Our local buddy Tolan Shaw scored the support slot for this one, so get there early to catch him. Casbah gets down with dance punk from Detroit with Adult., and legend Patti Labelle plays the Grandstand stage at the County Fair. Fans of psychedelic rock will have to choose between Iowa's Radio Moscow at the Belly Up or Brazil's Boogarins at Soda Bar. Tough call there, but having choices surely beats the alternative.
