Michael Stanley and the Resonators/Donnie Iris & the Cruisers
When: Fri., Feb. 14, 7:30 p.m. 2014
Last year was a solid year for heartland rocker Michael Stanley. The guy self-released his new album, The Ride, which came on the heels of last year's The Hang, an introspective album he's referred to as his darkest release yet. The Ride presents a much more positive perspective, something that's reflected in Stanley's more regular live appearances (last year, he held down a four-night stand at the Tangier). Expect to hear MSB favs as well as a good sampling of Stanley's solo material. Regional favorite Donnie Iris (best know for his hit "Ah! Leah!" from his 1980 album Back on the Streets) shares the bill. (Jeff Niesel)
