Neil Young x2 + Dead Tribute
Tomorrow night, it’s a “Battle of the Neil Young Tribute Bands” here in RI. Yes, really. In Tiverton, Sandywoods has the award winning Forever Young, which includes several locals led by John Fuzak, Becky Chase, and Mark Cutler. Tickets are $15 – show starts at 7:30 PM. The Met has Neil for half the bill with Young Rust opening for the equally awesome Grateful Dead tribute act Shakedown. Show at 8:30 – Tickets $10. Depending on your road speed, it might be possible to hit both shows and still at least catch the encore at The Met. Either way, if there’s a NY fan left at home Saturday night, you better have a good excuse!
