Chris Harvey
No one does karaoke quite like the boys of the Alkali Flats. On August 10, the band will host Kountry Karaoke, where they “play ’em, you sing ’em.” Mosey up to the songbook, which will feature classic country tracks from 1940 to 1970, and choose your favorite tune by Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn, etc. Sign-ups start at 9 p.m., so get there (Old Ironsides) early if you plan to channel one of the country greats. In the meantime, here’s a Playlist by Chris Harvey, the group’s bassist and guitarist. His theme? “The Five Best Songs to Change a Tire by the Side of a Dirt Road to.’”
