Black Friday week in Benson: Satchel Grande, Pokey LaFarge and a holiday benefit at Reverb
From Satchel Grande's annual Black Friday show to a Sunday emo bill, Benson's two One Percent rooms have a busy stretch from Nov. 27 to Dec. 6.
If Thanksgiving leaves you restless, Benson has a plan. The Waiting Room on Maple Street and Reverb Lounge on Military Avenue have four shows between Black Friday and the first Sunday of December.
Friday, Nov. 27: Satchel Grande at The Waiting Room. Satchel Grande’s annual Black Friday show, with The Baddest Band in the Land. Tickets are $15. Doors at 7, show at 8.
Friday, Dec. 4: two choices. At The Waiting Room, roots songwriter Pokey LaFarge plays with Cicada Rhythm. Tickets are $30 in advance or $35 at the door; doors at 7, show at 8. A few blocks away at Reverb, The Hooligans Holiday Fest with Vibez Alive and Endless starts at 7 for $10 in advance or $15 at the door, and the event page says proceeds go to Moving Veterans Forward.
Sunday, Dec. 6: Thoughts on Bowling at Reverb. The Arkansas emo trio headlines with Softly and MooseCreek Park. Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door; doors at 6, show at 7.
All four shows are all ages, and each costs $5 less if you buy ahead (except Satchel Grande, which has a single price). Tickets are sold through etix from the One Percent Productions event pages.
Details are from One Percent Productions’ event pages as of Nov. 11.
