Sunset Strip @ Grand Avenue Pub

Warning: May cause flashbacks and wild behavior. Get ready to party like it’s 1989—Sunset Strip is bringing their no-holds-barred, high-octane rock show to Grand Avenue Pub in Beloit, WI on Friday, May 23rd at 8:30 PM! This isn’t your mom’s cover band. It’s loud, it’s raw, and it’s drenched in leather, eyeliner, and pure ’80s attitude. Expect the hits, the hair, and maybe a few bad decisions. So grab your crew, pour something strong, and get ready to sing, dance, scream, and party like you’re backstage! If you’re looking for a quiet night… stay home. But if you’re ready to relive the loudest, loosest decade in rock—be there, drink in hand, and prepare to misbehave

Whether you’ve had your eye on something new or just want to stretch your legs, it’s the perfect excuse to get in the saddle.

A $5 suggested donated tip to help cover expenses is always appreciated. What’s a Walking Taco? It’s a taco you eat straight from the chip bag (Fritos or Doritos — your call) loaded with seasoned taco meat and a limited selection of toppings. No plates. No mess. Just grab a fork and dig in! Put this one on your calendars and we’ll see you here!

Anthony Billups @ The Music Box

“Coming out of Hononegah around the turn of the century, Anthony Billups dreamed of becoming a Major League Baseball pitcher. Today, the professional artist and country singer and songwriter lives in Nashville, Tennessee, and he knows that baseball was just a road he needed to take to realize his true dream. Billups’ love for playing guitar, writing songs and singing them was born when he was a sophomore in college and briefly lost his sight following a car crash that eventually led to the end of his career as a baseball player. His passion for art was born in a similar fashion, when he was later told, “the only thing you can get done in two years is art. So, I’m going to get a degree in art? OK. And I just fell in love with painting.” Now, the former hard-throwing Hononegah pitcher owns Music City Murals and his paintings can be seen all around Nashville. He also plays his own songs once a week at a honky tonk bar on Broadway Street in Nashville at the Tin Roof. Billups has built Music City Murals into a respected business in the area. A lot of his murals can be seen […]
