The Outlaws Play Palace; Mr. Smalls Hosts Jim Donovan & Sun King Warriors Album Release Party (Sat., 10/19/24)

1) Southern rock finds its way north with the Outlaws. For over 40 years, the band has been thriving in the Southern rock genre along with Lynyrd Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels, and The Allman Brothers. Founded in Tampa, Florida, in ’72, the Outlaws put forth a Southern rock opus with “Green Grass and High Tides” and scored a major hit with “There Goes Another Love Song.” Outlaw trademarks include beautiful vocal harmonies and intricate lead guitar play. Surviving the test of time, the inevitable evolution of popular music, and bandmates’ deaths, the Outlaws are definitely alive, kicking, and, it would seem, stronger than ever. The Outlaws are one of the original groups to proudly carry forward the Southern rock banner. The band’s latest album is 2020’s Dixie Highway. They come our way with special guest “Little Hanks” Buzzards. 7:30 p.m. Palace Theatre, 21 W. Otterman St., Greensburg. (R.H.)

2) Jim Donovan & Sun King Warriors are one of Pittsburgh’s top rock/jam bands. They are very active on the local music scene, playing brewery shows, Allegheny Summer Concert Series, Rivers Casino, festivals and even the Pittsburgh Earth Day festivities at the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium. The Sun King Warriors have been working on a new album for the last two years and they are ready for its big debut at an album release show at Mr. Smalls Theatre. Jim Donovan was one of the members of Rusted Root, a very successful jam rock band in the 1990’s. 7:30 p.m. 400 Lincoln Ave., Millvale. (R.H.)
