MONDAY, MARCH 25 [ JAZZ ] HONKY TONK | WAYNE HANCOCK
DJ/ELECTRONIC | NINA FLOWERS
Before Hank III nasally announced a return of outlaw country to the outlaws, there was Texas troubadour Wayne Hancock. A songwriter since he was 12, Hancock landed in 1995 with “Thunderstorms and Neon Signs.” He also contributed heavily to the aforementioned Williams’ debut. Hancock is the real deal, a throwback to general stores and sawdust floors with an affinity for the two-step. His touring guitarist, Mark Mencher, is a simply amazing guitarist from the Scotty Moore school of rollicking finger-style. His twangin’ with Hancock’s sangin’ makes this the show of the week. Yee haw!
If you don’t watch “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” then I pity you. It is a brilliant mix of entertainment and inspiration, and the costumes and performances routinely put out by the drag-queen participants are astonishing to behold. Nina Flowers is the universally beloved runner-up of Season 1 of the show, and in addition to being a fierce queen with a brilliant visual style, she is also DJ. This weekend Nina will come to Rochester’s Tilt for three shows over two nights. On Friday, March 22, Nina will be in DJ mode. On Saturday, March 23, see Nina in all her full performance glory as she takes to the stage in two drag sets. If you have any interest in drag or just want to take in a seasoned, artistically bold performer, this is not to be missed. Andale, locas!
