2) Jim Donovan & Sun King Warriors bring their lively brand of jam rock to Rivers Casino. Most appropriately, they will be performing in the Drum Bar. Donovan and the band’s latest album is 2018’s We See Through It. They describe their new work by saying, “It illustrates the transformational power of music. Featuring ten songs that span genres and eras ̧ the sound of the new album blends the vintage rock sound of Zeppelin with the alternative folk of Mumford & Sons propelled by barreling drums.” Songs from the album have been garnering a lot of airplay in Pittsburgh and beyond. The band’s prior release was 2016’s Sun King Warriors. 10 p.m. 777 Casino Dr., North Shore.
