Eight Gigs: Cripple Creek Band

When Cripple Creek Band rolls into Cesar Chavez Plaza, the night's going to get hot—in a Southern-rock-meets-country kind of way. This quintet might also bring some colorful rain by way of Prince or play covers by the likes of contemporary country artists Eric Church, Jake Owen, Dierks Bentley or Luke Bryan. Tunes from Tom Petty, Georgia Satellites, John Mellencamp, Johnny Cash and Marshall Tucker Band are also likely to show up and make folks feel a bit “Footloose”—Kenny Loggins style. This talented five-piece also writes and performs rocking originals like “Coming in Hot,” “Banging on the Hardwood” and “All About the Music.” 910 I Street, www.thecripplecreekband.com.
