Pure Prairie League Plays Jergel’s; Soundcheck on Wylie with Donnie Iris and NASH.V.ILL (Mon., 9/28/26)

1) “Amie, what you wanna do?” It’s one of the sweetest refrains in country rock, and if you wanna hear the latest incarnation of the group that broke to national fame with “Amie” (above) back in the ‘70s, you can catch Pure Prairie League at Jergel’s Rhythm Grille. PPL’s lineup has changed over the years, of course, and the music has evolved somewhat, too. But when it comes to that easy-rollin’ Pure Prairie sound—with bluegrass inflections, from the band’s origins in Waverly, Ohio, midway between Chillicothe and the Kentucky line—the sound is still there. Country music star Vince Gill was a member of the band in 1979. Pure Prairie League took their name from a fictional 19th-century temperance union in the 1939 Errol Flynn cowboy movie Dodge City. Pure Prairie League is celebrating their 50th Anniversary. Their latest LP is 2024’s Back on Track. NickyMo and the Mamalukes open. 8 p.m. 285 Northgate Dr., Warrendale. (E.C., R.H.)

2) Citizens Live at The Wylie will be opening soon and to make sure everything is working just right they are having Soundcheck on Wylie Avenue. And what better way to check it than with King Cool himself, Donnie Iris. Additionally the event will have NASH.V.ILL and Title Town performing. 8 p.m. 1201 Wylie Ave., Hill District.
