Rock. Blues. Local. Get on out tonight. Dig?

John Lee Hooker Jr., as in the son-of the “Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom,” bluesman, will be at Sticky Fingerz tonight. This is his first time down here, so let’s make him welcome. Our much beloved woman-led blues band Charlotte Taylor and Gypsy Rain will open at 9 p.m. For some of you going to the Blues Festival on the North Side, this would be a great way to cap off the evening. ($10)…except possibly blues act Cosmic Biscuit, playing in Maumelle at Lucky’s (1101 Murphy Drive), from 8 p.m.-midnight. ($5)

Tomorrow:

John Corbett, yes, the actor from “Northern Exposure,” and “Sex in the City” has a band. They’re a legit, down to earth country rock outfit with an album and some hits on CMT. Wideawake opens 7:30 p.m. Cover is $10.

We like the sassy title of the River City Men’s Chorus concert on Sunday: “Just For the Fun of It.” And we might go, just for that. All kidding aside: they are one of our favorite men’s choruses: right there beside Chanticleer and the Harlem Boy’s Choir. AND it’s free, at the Trinity United Methodist Church at 3 p.m. There’s also a Monday concert at 7 p.m. should you miss that.
