TOOTIE AND THE JONES
w/ Calvin and Friends

April 07, 2011 / 6:30 P.M.

Believe it or not, Tootie and the Jones have been playing the Columbia music scene long before Hootie and the Blowfish ever made it big! In fact, a former member of Tootie and the Jones is the one and only Jim Sonefeld! Known to the members and fans of the Blowfish as simply, "Soni", Jim was the nationally recognized drummer for the two-time grammy award winning band. Tootie and the Jones have been around for decades and over the years have earned their own nickname as "Columbia's hometown band". Seen often at local events, festivals and of course, the Five After Five Concert series, these boys always bring an incredible crowd of loyal fans and friends. Tootie's down home, good feelin' brand of Rock n' Roll will have everyone dancing in the streets. If there is one concert you shouldn't miss this season, it's Tootie and the Jones.

LESLIE
w/ Death on Two Wheels

April 14, 2011 / 6:30 pm


Leslie have enough new material for more than a double album's worth of rock, but they're taking their time making serious plans about studio time. On stage, they deliver certain rockisms without simply being derivative. It's less jangle and more sleazy-fuzz. . . plenty of Zeppelin, AC/DC, The Who, and Skynyrd with a bit of Nick Gilder, Thin Lizzy, T-Rex, and James Gang thrown in. There's nothing sneaky about it though. While they wear their influences openly and embrace the best classic rock cliches, they toss them around. Carman regularly "Keith-Moons" his drum kit around with joy while Fox does the "Cliff Williams" head bang at stage right. When watching them you truly feel you're in the presence of greatness.
