• The Velvet Touch plays The Jam on Saturday, Feb. 17 at 9:30 p.m.

Kaptain Kirk's Kosmic Koncoction is a one-man band noted for playing fun covers of a wide variety of pop and rock songs. He opens the evening of free music at The Logger Bar tonight at 9 p.m. before relinquishing the stage to the live debut performance of The Stallions, a local cover band in the key of Ween. Can't see Dean and Gene and company? This'll be the next best thing.

It's not a debut show but it is the first show of the year for local funk and soul outfits The Velvet Touch and The New Traditions, formerly The Dubba Dubs ($5). Come down to the Jam at 9:30 p.m. to see the 2018 editions of these two local hot rods.
