The Read
ZZ Top's Texas boogie and Cheap Trick's power pop share a faith in economy: short riffs, durable choruses, no wasted motion. Ascend is built for a double bill like this. Cheap Trick is reason enough to arrive before dark; Billy Gibbons is reason enough to stay.
The Venue

310 1st Ave S

After
Layla'sLayla Vartanian opened it in 1997, the only female-owned independent bar on Lower Broadway. While everything around it plays country radio, Layla's books bluegrass, hillbilly, rockabilly, Americana. Vintage license plates on the ceiling. Better drink prices than anything near it.
