Tonight, better known as New Year’s Eve, presents several opportunities to ring in 2011 with noteworthy Memphis musicians. Here’s a rundown of this year’s most interesting local music holiday options:
Van Duren @ Central BBQ (Summer Ave. location)
For those looking to get things started a bit early (6 p.m. showtime) or do something with the whole family, Duren’s weekly appearance at the popular barbecue establishment is a great opportunity to take in some classic Memphis power-pop.
Harlan T. Bobo, Jack Oblivian & the Tearjerkers @ the Hi-Tone Cafe
Probably the most high-profile of the late-night gigs is this double bill at the Hi-Tone, which pairs longtime friends and collaborators Bobo and Oblivian.
