Fridays After Five rocks out with J Roddy Walston and The Automatic Band. This piano-playing chaos merchant specializes in ripping up stages with a blend of classic and Southern rock along with early metal, funk, and face-melting riffs rolling over psychedelia-infused jams. Bringing more than just volume and speed, the hard-charging outfit offers a high-energy performance to get hips shaking with catchy tracks that speak to the soul. Local rock and rockabilly purveyors Jesse’s House opens the evening.
Friday 7/18. Free, 5pm. Ting Pavilion, 700 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. tingpavilion.com
