The Kris Lager Band.
Kris Lager’s Conduit Live, 8 p.m. Friday, Bourbon Theatre. It’s variety show time at the Bourbon Friday when Kris Lager presents “The Conduit Live.”
The show will feature veteran Lincoln-moved-to-Omaha touring musician Lager fronting a nine-piece band that will include special musical guests including Aly Peeler and Kristen Taylor. St. Louis musician Jackson Stokes, who tours worldwide with the Allman Betts Band, and just released a version of Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s “Didn’t It Rain” with Lager, will also join the band Friday.
There will be magic from Omaha native ‘Tricky’ Trevor Groenjes, comedy from Lincoln favorite Richard Reese, DJ sets from Mr. West bookending the evening and, throughout the night artist Stephen Kavanaugh will be painting a picture.
Stryper, 7 p.m. Sunday, The Royal Grove. Still heavy and still professing deep Christian faith, Stryper will hit the Royal Grove Sunday for its first Lincoln show in decades. The veteran group came out of the early ‘80s Southern California hair metal scene with a name taken from a Bible version and a handful of gold and platinum albums before disbanding in 1993. Back together since a 2003 reunion concert, Stryper’s been recording and touring heavy Christian rock for twice as long as its original incarnation.
